## Resource

Lightning’s back with a vengeance across the West of England—another major storm just five days after record-breaking June heat, sparking fires, shutting down Bristol Airport, and lighting up skies from midnight to dawn. With 29,000 strikes in southern England and temperatures stubbornly above 20°C for five nights straight, officials warn this is far from over. Expect more chaos as extreme weather keeps pounding the region. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
