They keep saying its going to cool down,  then altering the day again.
It was supposed to be cooler after Friday,  then Saturday,  now Sunday!

I'm dreading getting these heatwaves  recurring all summer.   :worried:

Oh heavens,  No.   
I hadn't heard anything about that Alex.

A little 2 yr old you say?    That is horrendous.
Its cases like this that authorities really must chop them off.    It would be a damn good deterrent too,  because there doesn't seem to be any at the moment, does there.

Walking upstairs is like entering a sauna!
Downstairs is 27° and upstairs is 30°
Incredible the difference 3 degrees makes to one's comfort

Lightning takes the electrically easiest route to ground. TV aerials tend to be the highest points on any particular house so yes they can be struck. That said I've never heard of it happening anyway near me. I have seen lots of dead trees though. Certainly I'm not bothered here as there are trees higher than aerial nearby and a church 100 yards away.

AI response to how many houses struck in UK each year...

While there is no exact, comprehensive database counting every single direct strike, research and insurance metrics indicate that several hundred homes are significantly damaged or affected by lightning strikes each year in the UK, with thousands more suffering minor, unreported electrical surges.

Don't forget there are maybe 20 million houses in the UK

An African migrant has been arrested in Chertsey, accused of the rape and murder of a two year old toddler.
How many more children, young girls and women must suffer or lose their lives before SOMEBODY does something ? :cry:
