One hell of a thunderstorm

The sound of the rain against the windowpane woke me up last night. It has been long since it didn't rain as heavily in Bristol and the massive thunderstorm last night was quite scary. I found myself hidding below the duvet and counting between lightning and thunder, as I used to do when I was younger. 1, 2, 3, 4... 5! One mile away! Relief. One of them, however, striked very close as we heard a huge "booom" right after the thunder, followed by several alarms that went off. The lightning strike left us without water supply for the day.

The weather lately has been too sunny, hot and humid, and it's been a week since it seemed a gale would hit Bristol. According to BBC, next weeks will be messy. They don't forecast rain again until Thursday, and apparently the weekend will be free of rain too. The temperatures will stay quite the same, though, around 25ºC. 

After 5-6 weeks of summery weather, "A little fall of rain can hardly hurt us now", as said in Les Miserables.
