No Thunderstorms

I woke early with the sound of heavy droplets of rain hitting the conservatory roof.  The rumble of thunder could be heard in the distance.  The forecast was for thunderstorms from lunchtime onwards.

Surprisingly, the storms never developed and it was hot and humid all day, The butterflies were able to fly around without the worry of rain.  It has been reported on news programmes that butterflies aren't as abundant as in previous years, and I must admit I haven't seen as many around this year.
