This is a very rare meteorological phenomenon known as a “Crown Flash”, The theory is sunlight refracting through tiny ice crystals above a cumulonimbus cloud which are aligned to the clouds electric field, this causes the ice crystals to re-orientate when lighting strikes in

This is a fantastic illustration showing how quickly water soaks into the ground. Many parts of the UK are currently like the one on the right. Torrential downpours could very quickly lead to flash flooding due to surface run off.

Yes, it's "hot" every year, but temperatures are 10-15C above where they should be. They have broken records. Thus, not a "normal" event.
