Gone down a nerds rabbit hole now 
. The fun part is watching the flight paths versus the storm locations. The standard southerly route for planes is normally straight over Tours and onwards to Spain. They’re all taking a bit of a loop further east tonight.

Yep top left shows the strikes per minute. It was 500/min when I was looking at about 20 mil zoom.

Microsoft currently says 22C. Stepping out into the garden, it’s in direct sunlight and sheltered, so feels a lot warmer out there.

I was watching the little one’s ‘triathlon’ at 9.30 and was sweating just standing in the sports field.
Microsoft is saying 24, but feels much hotter as you say in the garden where it’s sheltered. Decking is a no go area, it’s like a bloody suntrap!

Car is saying 23c at Shrewsbury and when the sun is on you it feels that way.
Heading back to the frozen tundra soon so I’ll need to dig my coat out

At least you’re on the motorway north once you hit Leeds and you’re on a big road all the way until you get to the A19.
When I lived and worked in that area you had to either stay on the M62 to Ferrybridge or go through Leeds to get to the A1.

Yes, I’m just near the big junction at Pontefract, hopefully won’t be too bad from here and the A19 might have eased by the time we get there.

I presume you remember Dishforth being a roundabout?

Yep, and I remember the horrendous roadworks when they were taking the roundabout out. The drive from Richmond to Cambridge down the A1 at the start and end of each term was terrible. The roads are so much better now and all of the roundabouts are gone now.

Think they took it out around the late 80’s?
There was a lot of roundabouts on the A1, especially in the midlands that they got rid of.
