Default Is it or isn't it?

JUNE 25 16 05 JULY 3 16 37

Rain for the start of Wimbledon and cool overcast and one or two drops
(literally) here. That was the 26th.

2nd of July after a run of increasingly more humid, sunny weather; a
thunderstorm that killed a woman locally. (I wonder if I recognised
that strike it was an odd one that started with a swish before but
connected to the crack then a long loud peal after a short pause.)

The thunder went on for about 2 hours. Some of the thunder seemed to
blend into the sound of airliners to go on forever. (It is about the
same frequency, after all!)

So what happens next? The met office are warning of dangerous heat
waves in the south. It isn't quite the same bad weather as is being
experienced on continental land masses. The thing is we are not
prepared for hot weather on this island.
