    Slightly off topic but it concerns a thunderstorm yesterday in Belgium near Liege.
    A passenger train crashed into a freight train and three people died, lightning is being blamed for causing the signals to not work properly, leading to the crash.


    As for here in Ireland, humidity is so much higher today.

    Is Dublin city unexpectedly at risk? The women in my life are off to run the mini-marathon, concerned about lightning and downpours?

    Hot here in the Mosel region in Germany ( to get up to about 27C )with a storm North of me near Koblenz. Was there yesterday and had thunder most of the day on and off , good few landslides in the area also from the heavy rain . Amazing explosive towers the last few days, less so today and less humid , still crossing the fingers that we get a storm this afternoon.
