What's more current than the weather?

A downpour like that would be very welcome on this side of the Atlantic.
Thunderstorms are forecast for later today and tomorrow but I fear that we shall miss out.
The 0800 radio forecast warned of some areas receiving 6cm/2.4" of rain in three hours. That's about the monthly average.
We don't have a basement but the whole plot slopes down from the road so managing a downpour can be difficult.
I am quite happy to take on that particular challenge.

As of a few minutes ago...



The heat would be just about tolerable but it's the humidity that I find so difficult to deal with.
