What's the weather where you are?

An electrical storm consumed the southern French border last night with a spectacular display of lightning and thunder.

The actual time was approximately 20:00 hrs.
This condition will repeat this weekend as a Saharan dust storm fuels the fire.

Today and tomorrow, storms are circulating across the country but it is Saturday that they will be the most violent. Heavy rain accumulations expected in a short time, strong gusts (up to 100 km/h), large hail and intense electrical activity.
 
Adding to my post few days ago; it has been, in fact the coldest it has ever been here in NSW, Australia. I have woken up to 2-3 degrees C regularly a few times lately. The car windows are getting frosted every morning which was considered rare in this part of the world as per the people who have been here longer. So, its definitely getting colder and colder each year.

Although, you see the odd article in the news talking about lack of snow this season and some heat wave on the other side of the planet. Its rather hilarious now, seeing these articles.
 
July has arrived and we are, as expected, approaching new temperature records.
The heat wave in Moscow repeated the 134-year record

MOSCOW, July 2 - RIA Novosti. The heat in Moscow reached 31.9 degrees today and repeated the record for July 2 from 1890, Roman Vilfand, scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center of Russia, told RIA Novosti.
"The maximum temperature for July 2 was recorded as early as 1890 – 31.9 degrees. Now it is also 31.9 degrees, the record has been repeated," Wilf and said.
As previously reported by the chief specialist of the Moscow Meteorological Bureau Tatyana Pozdnyakova, on July 4, the maximum air temperature in the capital may reach 35 degrees.
Жара в Москве повторила 134-летний рекорд

Наступил июль и мы, ожидаемо, приближаемся к новым температурным рекордам.
 
Eastern Canada is getting much like everywhere else some form of extreme weather, localized here and there, but nothing as bad as some other Southern countries: storm cells, strong winds, tornadoes, heavy rains, light floods, hail, temperature records in the low or the highs, etc. I meant to document this because I've seen many clips on the Weather Network that would have been of interest. But I've been short on time. Here's what I could find today (the rest has been archived already):

Tornadoes:
June 13- F1 over 9,6 km near Pearson, Ontario
Northern Tornado Project confirmed 6 tornadoes on June 13 near Abitibi, Qc

Storm:
June 30- Camping site flooded in Estrie, Qc
June 24- Chertsey, Qc flooded after 110 mm of rain

Waterspout:
June 27- near Cap Saint Ignace

Fire:
June 25- near Churchill Falls, Labrador, threatens hydroelectric central
 
Moscow continues to be fried on the sly. The temperature is rising, but no one is talking about temperature records today. Thank God that today there was a noticeable rain and in general there is little left to endure, from July 5 we are promised a cold snap.
The air in some areas of Moscow has warmed up to almost plus 34 degrees
Leus: the air in some areas of Moscow has warmed up to plus 33.8 degrees

MOSCOW, July 3 - RIA Novosti. The air in some areas of Moscow has warmed up to plus 33.8 degrees, said Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, on the Telegram channel.
"According to the data for 15 hours, the hottest point (in the Moscow region - ed.) was Baltschug, where the air warmed up to plus 33.8 degrees," Leus wrote.
He noted that the temperature contrasts in the Moscow region exceeded 10 degrees.
Воздух в некоторых районах Москвы прогрелся почти до плюс 34 градусов

Москву продолжает потихоньку поджаривать. Температура растет, но о температурных рекордах сегодня никто не говорит. Слава богу, что сегодня прошел ощутимый дождь и вообще осталось немного потерпеть, с 5 июля нам обещают похолодание.
 
We had a strong rainstorm this afternoon here in my city in Eastern Germany. There's a row of strong trees in front of the house, and I wondered more often now when will the first one break down or lose a thick branch? But so far they remain strong in keeping their stand.

By now, the precipitation is said of having filled up the groundwater reservoirs again which have been pretty low here due to the very dry years (2018-2020, 2022).

Last weekend there also was a very interesting nightly thunderstorm which took place when being at a family gathering in Thuringia. At some point, the thunder was rumbling constantly (probably due many lightenings). This phenomenon lasted for about 30 minutes. I recorded a part of it on video but don't know if it may be too big to share here (> 5 MB).
 
In SC Alaska, it is raining and 58°F (14.4°C).
The last 2 to 3 weeks have been nice and warm. Mostly sunny, with a few overcast days. The temps reached the 80s on several days.
A bat flew into my house on one of those hot days - looking for shade, I guess. It happened before when we had a heatwave a few years back.
Nice summer weather, and nice to have some rain today.
 
We have just experience a nasty Cat 4 hurricane here in Jamaica. The southern part of the island got the full brunt of the storm. Many trees were uprooted and major damaged to agriculture.
It was so strange to have an hurricane so early in the season.
I have been reading about Hurricane Beryl in the Crazy Storm thread and in the news. Prayers for all our members and their loved ones in the areas affected, hope everyone is doing okay. From what I saw of the destruction, it was pretty scary. :hug2:
 
Out Here, west coast of Canada, on Vancouver Island, we are experiencing a bit of a heat wave.
From an article:
“The indications are that we are looking at a fairly long duration, where the temperatures get into those upper 20’s for the east side of Vancouver Island.”

Castellan says Lake Cowichan, the whole spine of the Island, Gold River and Port Alberni will have the hottest temperatures during the heat event.

Places like Campbell River, Nanaimo, Comox, Duncan, Powell River, and Victoria will also see increased temperatures, ranging between highs of 29 to 31 degrees.

He says because the Salish Sea and Pacific Ocean affect localized weather, the closer you are to the water that’s not going to be in extreme temperatures, the more moderate the heat event will be.”

Today Tuesday at 3 pm. in Hermosillo, Sonora 43°C but it feels like 46°. Fortunately, a wide variety of mangos, pineapples, melons and watermelons can be used to make refreshing drinks, of course taking care of the sugar level.
We will have to continue holding on because there is no chance of rain for the entire week.

Record high temperatures are broken in northern Mexico, exceeding 50⁰ Centigrade.

This would be too much, I hope it doesn't happen.
 
In this part of west Wales in the UK we have had weeks of cloudy, sunless and unseasonably cool weather for the time of year. I can recall only 2 days in June of proper summer sunshine with hot temperatures. I think this has also been generally true of much of western and northern Britain.

In the past week I've noticed sycamore seedlings (still green) falling down way too early and on windless days. (a neighbour has also seen this along his local lane).

Here's a pic of some of them in my garden.

Usually the brown seedlings start to fall during the first week of September. It seems that the cool temperatures and lack of sunlight have tricked the trees into 'thinking' that the Autumn is already here. Strange days indeed!

Edit - Has anyone else noticed similar in the UK or Europe recently?
