So hot that the recycling collection was cancelled! And in the afternoon the head of department brought ice lollies round. Very nice of him.

Storms heading this way on the radar. And odd, mini-towering Cu seen - towering relative to their size, rather like some smaller ones I saw in the morning.

Re the stratification issue with upstairs being much hotter - found fan placed at bottom of stairs helped very much with this.

May be just the rain clouds, but this is the first night this summer that it's got dark sooner than I expected.

92-93°F in the bedroom when I got home. Cooler now with the intermittent thunder squalls and the window open (9.25pm).
