Not like this. It is true that Lord Byron's description of an English summer as 'two days of sunshine and a thunderstorm" is pretty much on the spot, but this time we have not seen any of the days of sunshine. Now it is even managing to be humid and sultry without being sunny.
OK, I'd pictured English rain as just more that constant, steady sort. Admittedly, I've never been to England, but in the European countries I've visited, thunder and lightning seem to be uncommon. Here, those giant storms are common enough that I've had 3 near misses with lightning in my life.
Now it is even managing to be humid and sultry without being sunny. That pretty much describes Michigan, heh. The only state in the US with more cloud cover is Florida, oddly enough.
I actually love thunderstorms, even though I know they're dangerous. They're just so wild and elemental. One of the things on my list to do before I die is to go on a storm chasing tour in the Great Plains.
