London is too damned hot right now, and it's expected to get worse. One small consolation is that they're predicting thunderstorms. I quite like the idea of that - if there's one thing about Johannesburg weather I miss, it's summer afternoon thunderstorms. Not that I've ever experienced a UK thunderstorm of Highveld-esque intensity, but anything involving precipitation and a break from this infernal heat works for me.
