Last week was quite hot, I rode to Newquay from Manchester but was forced to take some long cider breaks in the middle of the day or risk dying. I was camped up last Thursday night and had my eyes shut in my tent, out of nowhere there was a retina burning flash through my eye lids and the loudest noise I think I've ever heard, I wasn't sure if it was an asteroid or a nuke but waited for the inevitable pressure wave to sweep me, and all the now mentally squarking seagulls into oblivion. Turns out it was fuck off lightning right above us, 3 more slightly less apocalyptic cracks and some brief but very large drops of rain and all was quiet again.
