12C with loads of blue sky. Looks promising.

same here except they reckon it will cloud over by lunch time.

struth
02-06-2022, 08:26
still a bit of sun here but it was brighter an hr ago. looks to be heading to cloud again. about 13c

12C start this morning, hazy dullness so far.

11c and cloudy at moment but sun promised for pm..

Macca

barely a cloud in the sky here. Met says temp is 17C, I doubt it as it's 20C in my living room which is always a few degrees cooler in the summertime than it is outside.

Forecast is rain for this afternoon, we'll see how that pans out. Right now it looks like the least likely thing that could happen.

Well it really pissed down this morning, and we got a right old soaking. Still, that's me done with work now till the 16th. Yay!

There's a street party happening out there this afternoon, but the idea of mingling with neighbours I've never spoken to before and will go back to ignoring after tomorrow, doesn't appeal to me. So I'll stay here and chat shit with you lot instead :)

Macca
03-06-2022, 14:29
the Met have abandoned their prediction of rain now. It's a bit hazy but still quite bright here.

struth
03-06-2022, 14:44
sunny now but a cold wind out of sun.. 14c

Today was brillliant - first good day in a very long time. No rain - a lot of sun - really quite warm. Went for quite a long drive via Lairg and Ullapool and I believe we heard a cuckoo between Ardross and Ardgay. Really didn't expect that at all. Managed to find a cafe for lunch, and sat out. I expect all the holiday makers clogging the roads up will be thinking "we wish we lived here - beautiful weather, beautiful scenery" etc. They shouldn't ignore the rule that places you go to for holidays may be really c**p outside the holiday season.

That's what I found about San Diego - went in early summer one year - lovely weather. Years later went later in the summer and the weather was really oppressive, but somone who lived there said - "Oh - it's always like this" and he agreed it wasn't nice. Now Monterey is somewhere I could settle!

I was in San Diego end of September and it was fine, sunny, about 25C, couldn't fault it. Nobody on the beaches though, I think they must all stop doing that at the end of August. If it was that weather in the UK you wouldn't be able to find a space to lay a towel out after about ten in the morning.

If it was that weather in the UK you wouldn't be able to find a space to lay a towel out after about ten in the morning.San Diego - on a good day - which I think is many of them - is very good. From memory it's not so good in August. Still warm, but muggy. The point I was trying to make is that people often like places they go to on holiday, and think the weather is always good. It isn't!

Also heat can be a problem. Often it's quite nice on holiday, but places which have a high ambient temperature are not so good if one is trying to work, and people expect air conditioning - which often fails.

dave2010
04-06-2022, 06:53
Today is looking good so far. Sunny morning, and should get up to around 20C. Might go off slightly later on, but no rain or wind forecast.

So true, and whenever I go abroad for a holiday I always find myself pitying those I see with outdoor jobs - I couldn't stand that, the only thing worse might be working outside in sub-zero temperatures. We probably have it just right in Britain, temperature extremes are quite rare.

MSN weather on my laptop says it's currently 12C and cloudy, though it's hard to see the screen with the sun bouncing off it and making my eyes water. And has been this way for half an hour now. I suppose I could go and sit over there, or close the blinds, but I'm y'know, lazy. MSN Weather is crap.

Macca
04-06-2022, 08:41
sunny, 13C, going to be a good day according to the forecast. Tomorrow is wall-to-wall rain though.

struth
04-06-2022, 08:57
up to 13c here too. still sunny so looks like it'll be a good day. all week the early sun has been gone by now

struth

up to 16c now. a nice warmish breeze too.

Macca

Thunderstorms for tomorrow, forecast is getting ambitious.

Another beautiful day here in London.

A little rain this morning, but bright and sunny in the afternoon.

Did some shopping in Harlesden, London, visiting my favourite charity shop for good quality and not overpriced classical vinyl and enjoyed the African take on the Jubilee festivities (complete with blasting sound systems and exotic dancers).

Macca

still raining. Not torrential, just steady, it's a marathon not a sprint.

walpurgis
06-06-2022, 07:17
13C and gloomy with drizzle. Summer starts soon, not much sign of it yet.

A bit cloudy so far and 13c

Macca
06-06-2022, 08:25
long term forecast is not optimistic, at least not for the Midlands and North. I don't think we are going to get much of a summer.

Just been down the shop, there's no wind but otherwise it could be February or March. Chilly and heavily overcast.

struth
06-06-2022, 18:13
wasn't a bad day overall but not as nice as was initially forecast. currently 14c still and bright enought still.

Macca
06-06-2022, 19:02
remains overcast and 13C here but it is weirdly still, not a breath of air moving.

Tomorrow looks good, partly sunny and 19C.

walpurgis
07-06-2022, 06:09
A cool 11C, but bright and sunny. Could it possibly turn out to be a nice day?

dave2010
07-06-2022, 06:44
Not really supposed to be too sunny today until later on, but I can see clear shadows and things are looking good so far.

May be thus will turn out to be another nice day.

struth
07-06-2022, 08:43

very overcast and 12c. might brighten a bit later.

Macca
09-06-2022, 12:47
So glorious sunshine wakes me up at 0730 then by the time I get up and make a cup of tea it's totally clouded over and then stays like that for the rest of the day. Just takes the piss.

According to the forecast the sun comes back out at 9pm. I mean what use is that to anyone? I wouldn't mind so much if it was still a bit close and humid but there's a cold breeze and it's actually quite chilly. We had warmer days here back in March.

struth
09-06-2022, 12:57
a fair bit brighter here now. quite warm too at 17c. not sunny but its just behind light cloud. a bit of a breeze too.

Macca
09-06-2022, 14:06
stopped raining and there was even a brief glimpse of sun so nipped round to the supermarket. Only in their five minutes and when I come out guess what?

walpurgis
09-06-2022, 14:54
The sun went in, it's gone gloomy and the rain has started.

ours looks good too with a fair bit of sun. similar 17c.. we shall see

walpurgis

A mild 21C with sunshine. Some dubious looking darkish clouds about though.

walpurgis
11-06-2022, 08:03
it was 16C and bright when I got up at 6.45am, it's now 23C and the cloud is building up. No rain forecast, but it looks like it wants to.

Macca
11-06-2022, 08:19
sunny here but due to go dull and it's windy too.

Forecast says Friday will be properly warm, 23C. But I bet that changes during the week.

rmcin626
11-06-2022, 08:54
Been chucking it down all morning so far

Macca
11-06-2022, 09:22
Dull now, sun due to come back out at 1600. Quite a bit warmer than yesterday though, which is good.

Dull - around 13C right now - with some rain expected this afternoon. There is a slight wind, though yesterday the winds were significant, and pushing over (ie. bending them a bit) the newly planted small fruit trees to the extent that I wondered if we should try to move them somewhere less windy. Would be a shame to lose them, though if high winds are going to feature more often, not sure exactly where to put them.

At least the fences have stayed up - something which we often had a problem with in the south of England. We had to replace fence panels and posts really too often in our previous house. Once in a lifetime winds seemed to happen every couple of years there.

struth
12-06-2022, 09:34
i fitted cross members to posts and screwed through panels into those. a couple of braces as well. mine have endured the weather for over 12 yrs and some big storms. if they come loose its worth doing

Macca
12-06-2022, 09:55
14C here and cloudy, no sunshine, no balcony either :)

Proper heatwave predicted from Wednesday, highs of 25C, believe it when I see it.

walpurgis
12-06-2022, 19:40
Well I got plenty of fresh air and sun today, spent half the day repairing a badly rotted shed door. The power planer and angle grinder covered me in dust, but I'm too knackered for a bath. I'll leave till the morning and launder the bedding as well :).

Burst the side of my thumb with the hammer too. Wasn't too agonising, but there was blood everywhere! :eek:

walpurgis
13-06-2022, 06:21

Barry
13-06-2022, 16:23
23oC with bright blue sky and a few fluffy white clouds. :)

Spent most of the day gardening, specifically taking time removing the roots of a large bush that was starting to affect the neighbour's fence. Bloody hard work - I'm knackered! :rolleyes:

Macca
13-06-2022, 17:10
Dull and a bit chilly here, also threatened to rain a few times.

Checked the forecast, tomorrow looks a little better, but proper hot has been postponed from Wednesday to Friday now.

walpurgis
14-06-2022, 05:51
12C and there's a bit of hazy sun with patchy clouds, should be a decent day.

26C here now and the sun is blazing! Just reset the min/max temp markers on my outside thermometer, we'll see how hot it gets in the next few days.

dave2010
14-06-2022, 13:28
Coolish right now (14C) and still feels damp. There wasn't supposed to be much rain today, after yesterday which had enough, but there's been a bit anyway. I think it's starting to dry up a bit, but with no sun it's going to take a while.

Macca
14-06-2022, 13:40
been some sun here off and on, you get maybe five minutes at a time then more cloud comes over.

Met are still predicting 28C here for Friday, no cloud either, but it will be windy.

Alex_UK
14-06-2022, 19:42
Lovely day today, typically the first full day I've spent in the office suited and booted. Had rather got used to not having to bother for 3 years. Forecast for Friday is 31c! :eek: Luckily I am working from home, so shorts will be ok! Then typically again, it all turns miserable for the end of the weekend with 16c and rain showers on Sunday, for my son's birthday BBQ... :( Still, a lot can change between now and then...

Barry
14-06-2022, 22:21
At least 24.5C. Absolutely beautiful day, with at times a totally cloudless sky. No gardening for me today - went for a long walk in the country instead. :)

Macca
15-06-2022, 12:12
clouded over now so that's it for today, but it's still nice and warm.

One day heatwave is still on for Friday though. Next week looks dismal, high of 14C.

Relocated to England for a short period. Temperatures now up to around 27C or so, and tomorrow will be even higher.

The sun is great for the moment, though could be a pain for anyone trying to work in an office - as I once did. Meetings in June weren't always much fun.
Maybe I flew over Macca en route! Quite a bumpy flight - probably indicative of emerging thunder clouds.

23C here now, going to be 24C in a bit. Hazy though so you don't get the full force of the sun. Tomorrow still predicted to be scorchio though so maybe it will actually happen.

Going for a quick walk then it's time for 'The Professionals.'

33oC.

Too hot for me. Had to go out to do some shopping (and took the opportunity to pick up a couple of LPs in a charity shop), had lunch in a nice air-conditioned eatery, then home to the coolth of the house.

walpurgis

Yes, I've stayed indoors most of the day keeping the windows shut, as the house is cooler than outside. Kept the dog inside too apart from a couple of brief walks, the intense sun does them no good, causing skin tumours and eye cataracts.

I'll open the windows in a while once it gets cooler and allow some air through for the evening.

76 was a hot one. one of hottest up here ever. i remember actually willing to rain at end:eek:

Our back lawn died completely in '76, although didn't help that we were playing football on it all summer. My mother was very unhappy about it. My father was working overseas at the time and she warned us that he would be even unhappier than she was. In the end I had to dig it all up and re-seed it, which was a pretty big job for a seven year old.

It did grow back pretty well except for a couple of patches where the goal mouths had been. Before my father got back I covered them over with grass clippings so when he looked out the window it would all appear normal and he wouldn't bother going out for a closer inspection. Got away with it too.

I don't know how I forgot to tell you this, but that style of hat, ie the ones in your link, and also the one you kindly offered to me, well when we were in Looe Cornwall last week I came across some in a shop. I tried one on, and asked for Mrs. P's opinion. Her reply was "Get that off NOW" :( and tried to steer me towards baseball caps. Which would be ok if they didn't make me look like a bell end.

So the search continues, and hopefully I don't get scalp cancer in the meantime.
