For the first time since August 2016, which was when I started cycling again, I got caught in a heavy downpour/heavy wind thunderstorm. I could see the rain wall coming toward me as I was crossing a bridge and thunder less than one second after the lightning strikes. It was difficult to keep the bike going straight with all those wind gusts! Lots of branches across the MUPs. Lasted for about 10 minutes and then it cleared up. Still had about 30 minutes left in my commute so by the time I got home, I wasn't really any wetter than during high temperature/humidity riding. Gave the bike a good wash then dried it.
