Hi,



Its been a while since I have posted about the weather here, but we
have been away in Britain, working on the house and business. The
weather here at the moment has been very hot up to 28oC for the last
two and half weeks. The outdoor swimming pool has been open. But
since the 19th June we have had a thunder storm nearly every day,
usually in the evening. Some have been over us, some nearby but
tonight we have had the biggest storm I have witnessed in my life.The
temp dropped from 29 oC to 18 oC in about 10 mins , the wind
increased to near gale force ( and nearly blew the 10 foot trampoline
away- luckily I was nearby and managed to hold on to it!!) and then
we had a power cut for two and half hours. The sky went dark ,
thunder and lightning and within minutes of the thunder the rain
started falling very heavily. I got soaked to the skin in about 30
seconds. Then after that we had large hail stones. After about 40
mins the wind suddenly stopped and it carried on raining for a few
hours after that. I assume it must have been a cold front ?? that
caused this coming from the West.

Sounds exciting! Did you manage to get any pics?
