Summer?

We get good days, we get bad days - it’s a British summer! What is everybody moaning about? (Apart from the shortage of water)
Last summer it was all “too hot” , “boring sunny” “phew, scorchio”, Saddkeworth Moor fires, and probably a nationwide shortage of Mini Magnums.

Half of it's here amongst menacing clouds.I'm still dressed for winter though.

Well I’ve just spotted what I thought was a UFO in the sky over the NE coast ! I was scared at first but after asking Mr Google it turns out that’s it’s the who would have thought?

Yes very odd gilly

My poor plants are a bit battered too KatyK and it feels like a kind of mild November. Weird .

Yes we're having quite the heatwave this afternoon! Near Edinburgh.

We're back in Brum now after seven hot sunny days in Devon. Birmingham is dull and cloudy and our plants look as though they have been battered by a storm

Edinburgh here and the sky has turned a funny blue colour. It’s also got quite warm - any idea what’s going on? It’s very strange

I blame Brexit gillybob---for everything.hahahaha.

It was very warm last night and warm again today. I just saw a large black cloud approaching but it's gone so it looks as if we need to water again.
17:40 and 23C.

We are down to 14 here too EllanVannin and I’ve just put a fluffy blanket over my feet . Might have to put the heating on for a bit later . It’s stopped raining (for now ) but it’s very grey and there’s definitely more to come . My late grandad would’ve blamed “Thatcher” for this

Mostly rain for all of next week ! It's soul destroying.

You wouldn't believe it was the same country as Wimbledon !

It's so bloomin' cold here I've got a chunky jumper on and my feet are like two blocks of ice.
It's saying 18 degrees ( it never is ! ) down to 14.

Well it’s struggling to hit 16 degrees and it’s lashing down (again) here on the NE coast. It’s quite depressing when you only get 2 days off and you get rubbish weather .

I was in France (Burgundy area) recently, and the weather went from seriously chilly on arrival - I was really glad I'd packed warm cardigans - to stinking hot - 38 deg + - within just a day or two.

It's always very changeable/unpredictable in that particular area, but this was something else.

I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to hear that I was too hot today! I went out with my daughter to a small village in Perthshire and it was boiling there. I had to walk in the shade and of course have an ice cream to cool down.

Yesterday I drove through some of the heaviest rainfall I think I've ever experienced. The wipers couldn't keep up and at times I couldn't see the road. Yet a few miles away it was dry as a bone. It's all very annoying as I never know what to wear, bikini(!) or galoshes & sou'wester.

Pleasant day in Newcastle County Down, and quiet. Going for a walk to Murlough Bay (NT)
Its the Twelfth" day in Northern Ireland. Public holiday.

This afternoon watching the ferry come in from Scotland. Rather overcast but not enough drizzle to keep us from the pebble beach and the rock pools.

23:14 Thurs and 19° in Godalming. Weather for the week projected to be 24-26° but it feels very warm right now with windows wide open, fan whirring away and even the thin sheet covering me has been pushed right down.
A breeze would be very welcome ? ?

Glad that, despite my gloomy predictions, Yorkshire weather came up trumps for you today minimoon. A good day for the show, warm enough to wear proper summer clothes but not so hot as to be uncomfortable, prefect!!

We live in the south east and get generally good summers however I often think I would like to holiday in the north so many interesting places to visit.

A few years back we had a lovely few days in York however one day we visited some WW2 Camp all decked out how they were in wartime, but I was so cold that day I vowed never to return and that was in May ? I think I must have become a southern softy.

and when its a heatwave. we wish we were somewhere cooler.......dont stay indoors when its colder go find somewhere free to visit. plenty of places to see...

Its absolutely stifling here.

nice to be near the sea.
