It's 3:44 am and it's still 24°C (with a relative humidity of 57%) so it's little wonder I can't sleep. The day temperatures were 32°C with little relief, so it's also no surprise that we have a severe thunderstorm rolling in. Environment Canada has issued a severe weather warning (not as bad as a "watch") - but with a command to monitor the weather and tot ake immediate safety precautions if "threatening weather" approaches.
The crazy winds and rain are upon us and the lightening is fairly impressive to watch. Not having anything else to do at the moment I did cover my flowers (to protect against the large hail) but if the winds get any more aggressive it might just blow the cover away.
I noticed there is a family sleeping outside in their car. In the event this turns into a Tornado Warning my basement might be a little fuller tonight...
UPDATE: 4:20am and the storm has calmed down quite a bit and so far no hail, which makes me happy. The temperature is also dropping (almost 5°C so far) so I am thinking of heading back to bed to enjoy the coolness that is 20°C. Oh, and the family drove away at some point during the deluge, hopefully to find a hotel!

As per my usual, I slept through the vast majority of all of this. I awoke at about 2:40am to rain falling through the open window and on to my head. I closed the window and went back to sleep.
Thankfully I have a wife like Allie to keep me safe.
Actually the heat had driven me to sleep down in the basement and I likely would have missed it all except for the panicked german shepherd who woke me up to lead me to safety. 'Safety' in this case being the closet of my 2nd floor bedroom closet. But it's a good thing for my blinds that she did...
