During the heat of July 1923 temperatures were in the 90s, with many warm nights and violent thunderstorms (THREAD)

There was serious flooding in Scotland washing away bridges

Flooding occurred in a line from East London down to Eastbourne, with faults exceeding 100mm

There a "memorable" all-night storm on the 9th-10th noted for the. "extraordinary frequency of the lightning" and described by a 97 year old in Sussex reported "no such terrible storm had occurred in that neighbourhood during his lifetime"

1923 was a wet year with an exceptionally wet February

Interesting winter followed
