Yes indeed, it's still merely teasing with a few spots. Nice with the wind though. probably a bit like the infamous fergie hairdryer treatment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Bully Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 6 hours ago, virginton said: Obvious bullshit is obvious: In central European countries like Slovakia the railway network is regularly exposed to summer temperatures of 40C and winter temperatures of -15C. Indeed it'll hit 40C there later this week. They don't rip up all the rails and lay down winter versions once per year. It's almost as if Eastern Bloc countries whose national infrastructure was built by state planning is more logical and resilient than crap designed to the lowest price point in a private market. He’s a railway engineering expert now too! What a skill set! Why is @virginton not in a serious position of power? He knows everything about everything! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I was suggesting a good use of water to put out the fires. Btw if you have already died in a fire then I don’t think you’d be that bothered by a bit of water in the lungs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 2 minutes ago, Snafu said: The area around Inverness was one of the few areas in Scotland that had a thunderstorm this afternoon. Took this picture of the edge of the storm cloud facing west with its unstable air, but all I heard was one rumble of thunder from over towards the Culloden area. Within seconds after this photo was taken the sky opened and there was a short sharp deluge which cleared the air. Probably would have been a lot more comfortable for football fans out watching the League Cup games this evening. Disappointed with the lack of thunderstorm today after the build up to that. Aye, the clouds were fantastic, good picture. I thought for sure there would be massive thunder and lightning and a big downpour, bit disappointed tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Don’t see why people are banging the global warming drum because of a few fires in London.
