Scorching, humid and a big finale

Over 27°C and by 8am, and the temperature continued to climb to nudge the Oakdale Weather Station record a little higher from yesterday's best.  It's been a muggy, hot day, despite a steady breeze that's been with us for most of it.  The forecasted cloud did start to fill the skies after lunch, but skies remained relatively calm, even producing a colourful and pretty sunset.  That changed half an hour later as a violent and genuinely awesome band of thunderstorms moved slowly across overhead.
