The 26°C humidity was through the roof and we just barely escaped the thunderstorm on our stroll. Only the adjacent rain hit us hard. Black clouds caught up on us and we decided to take cover at a barn. Not even a minute later it started to rain cats and dogs for ten minutes straight. Holy crap, that was cool to watch. :-) Also, the smell of rain was just beautiful.

We then decided to continue our return in the light drizzle. But it then got much heavier again and we got completely soaked. With the wet t-shirt and the wind it actually felt rather cold. I anticipated to get rained on, so I left my camera at home. Plenty of paths turned into brook landscapes, several centimeter deep creeks ran down the hilly trails. Quite fascinating. :-)

The sunset a few minutes ago wasn't too bad:

Here has been north of 38C all week. Its pretty ick. I would love a bit of rain to cool down.

@lyse ah, 26°C! Not even overnight, nor early in the morning we get that cool! Full of envy mate. Full of envy.

@xuu @bender Yeah, we're quite lucky with this very, very wet summer this year. It's supposed to be just 21°C today, good hiking conditions. Some nice 16°C to cool off the house right now, I love it. Tomorrow, temps are rising again, though.

… unless you’re living in one of those areas with severe weather: https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/unwetter-sturm-hagel-100.html 😅😱

We had some lovely 15°C this morning, too. Now at 20°C. Let’s hope it stays that way for a while.

@movq Yikes, true! The hail covered road looks super sick. I'm very glad living in my area.
