1976...the government appointed Denis Howell 'Minister For Drought'....then after the Summer ended, 'Minister of Floods

Didnt the 1976 summer end about 2 days after he was appointed MODrought?? . I remember the clouds of smoke coming of Cannock Chase - huge areas got burned.

I remember that, too.

Was the year before we moved away from Rugeley.

Lt Commander Data didn´t!

In the event of a water landing he could also serve as a flotation device, but he was also fictional...

Not to mention (in the fictional universe) an artificial life form.

He could also breathe, grow hair, and had a pulse, (TNG S06E16, "Birthright, Pt.1"), maybe he could also artificially sweat to regulate his body temperature, but that was never mentioned in the TV show or subsequent movies...

..Hope you've enjoyed yourselves baking in the Sun ..
If you saw it today that is ..
certainly we did not ..
cloud for most of the day ...which grew darker and thicker as time went on ..
'tis now black out there ...with stair-rod rain ..and lightning ......
I just hope my gear survives as I'm too unwell to batten it down or disconnect it .
No longer just a North South divide ..but East West as well it seems..
Summer was shyte ...and Autumn came early ...
grrr

Just done an oil change on the SWMBOMobile and am sweating cobs (Not Barm Cakes)

Getting awful close ...
1.5 elephants at the most ...with huge downward strikes ...not just sheet lightning ..
barely seconds seperating them..

Crikey VS, I know you get severe rain in the NW of England, but we make do with cats and dogs..

So where was this blazing hot day?? It was pleasant out till mid morning then it clouded over and it was sticky and dull all day - now some heavy showers. And one of the updates Ive done to my aircraft tracking pi has borked it totally so I need to sort that out.

It was very warm for us in the north west this morning. Quite uncomfortably so as it was humid as well. Then at just after 1:00 it bucketed down!

It has just passed over us almost continuous sheet lightning.It sounded like rocks landing on the conservatory roof.
