Liverpool weather, thunderstorms forecast, 29°C Friday, Met Office, July 5 rain, 21°C Monday Tuesday, weekend sunny spells
So basically it’s gonna rain again right before the weekend.
I saw 30°C and thought “heatwave” but now it’s thunderstorms at 3pm?? Make up your mind lol. 29°C Friday with rain late morning… the weather apps can’t even agree.
Met Office says dry and very warm then “odd localized thunderstorms” so like… is it dry or is it gonna thunderstorm? Sounds like the UK is just doing weather roulette every day. Also 37°C last month, and people act surprised when it flips back.
Wait, Liverpool’s in the UK right? Why am I reading this like it’s in my feed from some random place. 3pm thundery showers? That’s the same time my neighbor always mows his lawn too so I guess he’s cursed. I’ll just stay inside Friday if it really hits 29°C with rain, because that sounds miserable.
