Been a long day already for me. A series of intense thunderstorms with loads of lightning barrelled through, starting at about 3:30 this morning and repeating at half hour intervals. Another one hit when it was time for me to wake up for work and the lightning was bad enough that I didn't dare take a shower. They finally let up by the time I arrived at the train station.
Normally, storms like this come at the end of heat waves and bring in nice weather. These storms are acting in the opposite, bringing in high humidity and temps in the upper 90s. Ugh!
