Now 1230pm all clouds some looking very dark
I just thunderstorms. Lucky you.

I am still unclear as to what English people call 'hot".

Hot? Hot starts at about 21, 22 degrees C in the UK. Much higher than that and it is officially a 'scorcher'

Oh, and it is now absolutely tipping it down with rain, and I'm fearing lightning strikes on my TV aerial at any moment as the the thunder goes crash around my ears

I daresay this site has been mentioned in this thread before (its a year and three days since I last posted!) but anyway: http://www.weatherpixie.com/ - for where I live (near manchester airport) it's scarily accurate!

In LA, we're in the middle of our 'June Gloom' which started early this year in mid-May because we had a warm winter. It doesn't rain, but the mist isn't very high either. The sun never or rarely comes out, and even when it does, it's quickly swallowed up again by solid low clouds. 70F high, maybe 10 less at night.

8C in Melbourne ay 2145hrs
I see it is sunny in London - at least in Wimbledon

It's nearly a year since I last posted to this thread! Well this year is better than last year and at the moment we have broaken cloud and a temperature of about 21°C (70°F)

Right now near Manchester (2003-06-24) it's sunny with a few fluffy white clouds. Just been out to have a good look at the sun (projection through binoculars, NEVER EVER look at the sun through binoculars/telescopes, sight is a precious thing, don't lose it through your own negligence) and there are several sunspots (a group of three and one on it's own near the opposite side to the group).
