rain and more rain- and today had to put the heating on! Flaming June they said.

I'd go outside but it's a bit damp, not raining, just damp.

You know how to live dangerously, don’t you ?

Callistemon Mon 28-Jun-21 16:45:39

It's 23C in the conservatory, just right today.
Have discarded the cardie.

Autocorrect keeps changing cardie to Carrie

True, MerylStreep but, to be fair, it's often lovely until the school holidays begin!

Well, it is clammy, muggy and damp here, occasional showers, just enough for the dog to go out, get her paws damp and come back into the kitchen floor! Our heating has come on the past couple of mornings which is rather nice as it dries the towels. Heating comes on and goes off by temperature, not date in this house. Tomatoes very well watered but need some sunshine

If some are fed up with this rain wait until July comes. On average it’s the wettest month.
It’s very odd here. Almost like a monsoon feeling. The rain is actually warm.

Kali2 Mon 28-Jun-21 16:38:09

Oh I'd love to- not been for many years.

Blondiescot Mon 28-Jun-21 16:37:33

Heating on?? Really? Our heating is only on for a couple of months of the year, three at most - and we live in Scotland! Wouldn't dream of having it on at this time of year.

It’s what we have in the uk: weather.

I thought we'd all be used to it by now ?

Flaming June can be flaming cold!
Having sat and watched the tennis I cooled down and now have a cardigan slung around my shoulders but no heating on.

You need to come to bonnie Scotland OP.

I've just realised why our heating hasn't clicked on recently - I'd forgotten that I switched it to Summer setting a few weeks back, when we had a run of really warm nights. Just as well really - a jumper and a pair of socks have done the trick!

I'm more than happy to have our weather when I read about the current heatwave in some parts of North America. The temperature reached 46.6 °C (115.88 °F) in parts of British Columbia! shock I'm fit for nothing but a bit of gentle reclining if it goes above the mid 20s.

Glorious sunshine here on Loch Lomond. 23C with a gentle breeze.
The forecast for the next week at least is excellent.

AGAA4 Mon 28-Jun-21 16:17:12

It does feel a bit chilly but I am not putting the heating on just an extra layer.

M0nica I hope you’ve got your ceiling fixed. Our CH is on all year but the thermostat’s on 10° so it doesn’t come on unless it’s really cold.
It said 14° on our weather app, but I had to come indoors as it’s so hot.

mumski Mon 28-Jun-21 16:12:18

Heating just gone here in Leicestershire for 3 hours. Fed up with freezing hands. Clearly my HRT tablets are working too well grin

cornergran Mon 28-Jun-21 16:06:37

Long sleeves today plus a jacket when we were out this morning. The car told us it was 15 degrees - as far as I'm concerned that's cold!

MawBe Mon 28-Jun-21 14:49:45

Jumper on today - TG I didn’t pack all my cooler weather clothes away.

jusnoneed Mon 28-Jun-21 14:17:06

Warm and muggy here for the last few days, even though we have had some quite heavy rain at times.
Not had any heat on since March!

Callistemon Mon 28-Jun-21 14:08:05

We've just received a new watering lance to attach to the hosepipe.
I knew it would rain as soon as it arrived!!

Kali2 my mother would have asked if you were nesh ?
I used to be very nesh, huddled near the fire when I was a child.

CH on on a year round thermostat, it is the only control we have. The heating was on this morning, useful to dry everythinhg that got soaked when the kitchen roof leaked last night.

Jaxjacky Mon 28-Jun-21 13:43:39

Namsnanny ?? it’s like an air con unit, but cheaper, put cold water in the bottom with ice packs and it blows cold air. Being used as a clothes horse by MrJ at the moment!
We’ll share the blame ?

Namsnanny Mon 28-Jun-21 13:35:48

Whats a chiller unit JaxJackie, air conditioner, or for wine etc.?

I dont think its all your fault though, as we bought a gazebo and some garden furniture.
Plus I made a lovely summery drink to enjoy whilst sitting on and under it.
No guessing what happened to the sunshine!! grin

Namsnanny Mon 28-Jun-21 13:31:37

Always a welcome talking point, The Weather!
I love that we can get a snapshot from around the country of how others are coping with it smile

TBH I dont think I would adapt well in a country with similar weather everyday now.

tanith Mon 28-Jun-21 13:21:55

No heating on it’s been very muggy and warm but wet here.
