After a spectacular weekend of blue skies and heat, the like of which we see only occasionally here (apart from 1976!), 24 hours of almost continual rain. My water buts runneth over. Expected to run out of Atlantic about 11 a.m.

Unbearably humid and hot.

98% humidity at the moment with frightening thunder & lightning and monsoon like cloudbursts

For the first time this summer I've chickened out of my daily run.

Three typhoons heading straight for us. The joys of a Tokyo summer.

Good luck with the 2020 Olympics.

And you are the site of the next Olympics!!! Hope it doesn't get too disruptive for you, Kinuta. 

Britain is enjoying a typical summer. Wet'n windy. Total cloud cover most of this weekend. We've had some sunny days and not that much rain but overall it's not been one that (weatherwise) will remain in the memory.

I know. Nobody I've spoken to has any enthusiasm and most wish they would just go away.

I've been saying for ages that the decision to hold them in early August is crazy. The 1964 games were held in October when it's quite warm but dry and pleasant. Seems tv big bucks have dictated an August date.

The average temperatures are 27-35C with very high humidity, heat island related early evening thunderstorms and the odd typhoon. Summer here is without doubt the very worst time to plan outdoor activity. For us residents it's a time to grit our teeth and long for October to roll round.
