Brooklyn, NY, USA
There was a very impressive thunderstorm this evening. We heard the first rumbles around 6, and it didn't fully reach us until 7. The sky was more green than grey—not quite tornado green, but close to it—and the lightning and thunder were constant for something like half an hour, with bouts of torrential rain. We cuddled up with our kid and watched the storm through the window like it was a movie.
Sometimes rain clears the air, but the prediction is for more storms today and tomorrow, so I'm guessing the air will continue thick and unbreathable. After that we'll get a few days of sunny weather and the humidity should ease off a bit, though it'll still be very hot.
This is all perfectly normal New York City summer weather, incidentally—there's a reason my "summer" userpic is a painting called Love in a Rainstorm. I'm always baffled when shoe stores insist that rain boots aren't needed outside of spring and fall.
