But I reckon it's going to rain in a minute

Well I'm no Michael Fish either and I reckon the temperature is going to fall below 30°C before the night's out.
(it's got a way to go yet though)

To be fair it's 20 plus here*

*But raining, Biblical rain.

Just starting to 'drizzle' in Billingham.

It better piss off before the footy Sky has gone off

Now I know what it's like to live through a natural disaster. Terrible business.

Are you John Kettley.

The road behinx my house in greatham is now a raging river, the end is nigh!

You should worry. 34c here and about 95% humidity.

Do you know what air conditioning costs me??

Bout half hour ago

Ah shite...that's me roof gone now.....

f baking hot down here today.

Got caught in it walkin the gym, only for about a minute, never been so frigging drenched like that before

Our conservatory has been flooded out......not an air sea rescue helicopter or inshore life boat anywhere to be seen? I blame the Tories!

good job you are not on the HTH board you would be blaming pools and the mayor.

A good downpour should clear the air a bit. ........

It was a HTH influenced remark, but now I've seen how bad it's been elsewhere I feel a bit bad now

It was bad, but I still say the worst weather I've ever been caught in was one Sunday morning at Greyfields about 2002/2003. The sky turned pitch black and I've never seen rain like it. Anyone remember that?

Yep, it was 1st game of the season, glorious sunshine one minute, as dark as night the next minute. remember being sat in the old boys after it was called off with buckets all around us catching all the leaking water.

Yeah, it was mid-August time. Never seen anything like that before or since.

It was surreal, the fields were flooded in minutes.

I was sat in the pub beer garden yesterday afternoon was roasting here.

Both of you are correct that is by far the worst i've ever seen.

I was on the rec playing with aido and the smallies lot, dunno what they were called at the time, it went pitch black n hoyed down, everyone just sprinted off the pitch.

I was living at king oswy still back then with the parents n a few of us in the car struggled to get home as all the round abouts n roads were flooded.

It was like that up here in Newcastle yesterday, only lasted a bit longer!

I left work about quarter to five and, via routes and side roads around Byker and Wallsend that I didn't even know existed, managed to get home just after half 9. Loads of closed roads and floating cars!

I was fortunate that I was in the car the whole time, so I feel sorry for Mr Fireball if he was out and about having to walk around in it.

Thats worrying on so many levels.

Rememeber that Sunday well was over Acklam for a Football Tournament. It got abandoned and when we came into town it looked like a war zone with trees snapped all over the place.. It was that bad the covers floated off the square a Seaton Carew!

By the way its steaming hot over here in Denmark!
