Is lightning covered by home insurance?

Yes, your buildings insurance policy should cover lightning damage to the structure of your home.

Most home insurers should cover for damages due to natural disasters that are out of our control, like lightning. These are sometimes called 'Acts of God'.

Looks like we need to check our policies

Cunt's trick not automatically insuring against stuff like that.

If folk want to opt out to reduce costs, give that as an option.

40 degrees in Pollença today and humid as fuck. Even the locals are moaning it’s too warm.

Can’t say it’s pleasant to be out in.

Lovely out here.

Verdant, pleasantly warm, and sufficient rain to keep things fresh.

25C and sunny on the shires, a lovely day. All the windows open, and a lovely little breeze wafting through the main building

Going back to Mallorca in a few weeks, honestly hope it’s a bit cooler. Was like a sauna this weekend.

It's like living in fucking Mexico.

Watching big fuck off thunderstorms roll in off the sea followed by bright sunshine.

Nothing to do with climate change of course, its just weather. 🤦‍♂️

Was it frequently as thundery 20, 30 years ago?

Can't recall it being, but could be wrong.

Yeah. 

I used to love playing out in summer thunder storms. 

Getting pissed wet through in shorts and Tshirt and coming home to a bollocking off my mum thinking we'd die of being struck by lightning.

Hard to say, but there’s definitely something not right with how hot things are getting year on year.

Some say there’s no climate change, but it’s plainly wrong.

It does happen occasionally!

I'm blaming it on you jab shaggers getting old and forgetful and/or ginger. 

It's fucking summer. It's Britain and muggy. We all enjoy it abroad because we don't have to work and can wear shorts.

Shut the fuck up and have a solero

For me, the temperatures are a definite indicator.

I suppose storms will be as a consequence of that, though they can be hit and miss in any one place, so would need to look at the nation as a whole.

Currently have a grape vine in my garden producing bunches and bunches of grapes. 
Grapes. Outside , no greenhouse . 
I live in Breightmet. 
 

Somethings changed !

To be fair, it's not that uncommon.

Huge vine growing along a fence in little Lever.

Not far away in Breightmet is a small holding producing a fair weight of grapes.

What is happening generally though, is that they are now starting to produce a high enough amount of sugar, which is why English vineyards are now producing such high quality whites. Still have good acidity, but adequate sugar for fermentation.
