thank you for being with us, dominic grieve and andrew fisher.e reportedly had around 15,000 lightning reports across the uk in the past 2a hours, a culmination of the heat and the humidity. it has been the hottest day of the year so far, following a tropical night — that's when temperatures don't fall below 20 celsius and make it really uncomfortable for sleeping. but gradually, through the day, the heat and the humidity has been pushed to become confined to southern and eastern areas. and we have seen at least 3a celsius — we may see the odd 35 popping up as the figures come in later. but at the moment, as those storms clear away — and they clear away from shetland, as well, through this evening, overnight — the humidity lowers a little, it looks more comfortable for sleeping. but there is more rain, accompanied by brisk winds coming into northern ireland and western fringes of scotland later in the night. but for many, temperatures of 4—5 degrees down on those of last night — so more comfortable for sleeping, and a bright, dry start under that
