While the cooling effect is welcome, the article doesn't mention enough about safety precautions during thunderstorms. Many people don't know basic things like avoiding open areas or not using wired electronics during lightning.

My plants are loving this weather! But the power cuts are annoying. Can't we have rain without the infrastructure collapsing? 😅

The article mentions 40°C returning soon... can't we just skip summer this year? 😭 The brief relief is nice but we need more sustainable solutions to beat the heat.
