13C at the moment. Partially cloudy, expected to teach 31C later.
After a very wet night still chucking it down and 13c.
You must be sick of wet weather by now Robin, I can't imagine what that feels like ;) Hazy sunshine here, quite warm. Off you a car boot we've not visited before, apparently it's a big one. Near Blackpool, so I'm expecting a lot of Elvis compilation CDs on budget labels.Quote:

Yes Steve, but it’s fairly normal for this area, due some sunshine next week apparently. Hope you find some good stuff at the car boot, we don’t have any near us.Quote:

Yeah, standard weather for here, I do feel sorry for those on the the cruise ships which dock most days, the terminal is about 1.5 miles from my front door, although the majority head out of town on one of the many excursions.Quote:

A bit of a change this morning, a bright and dry 13c so far.
15C here today's max 22C. Went round the Sainsbury early doors again, was a bit nippy, had to zip my jacket up.
18°C here, dry and sunny. No need for any jackets, zipped up or otherwise;)
Marco.
We wìll be going out for lunch today, but (shock, horror!) I won't be wearing a tie.
Truth of the matter is I haven't worn a tie for several weeks now; but keep it to yourselves - I don't want to get banned from the Forum for letting standards slip. :lol:
22°C now...
I wore a tie to my dad's funeral for the first time in 20 years... Your neck will enjoy the freedom, lol!
Enjoy lunch, but don't forget a linky-winky to the eatery of your choice in the food thread;)
Marco.
:eek: This really isn't good enough Barry, next news you'll be wearing a hoodie and riding an e-scooter... The forum hereby sentences you to one week of wearing a cravat :)Quote:

Off to the pub lunchtime for a beer or three, with a long-time drinking partner I've known for at least thirty years.
15C aiming for 24C. But tomorrow - 32C!
Another dry start to the day, only 13c so far
We’re in France, around 50m NE of Paris for a week, currently 22c and looking like the weather is going to be good!

Gone up to 28°C... Del and I are just enjoying some vodka Martinis, prior to a light supper:)
Marco.
Got to 26C here but cooling down now.
Are you looking forward to tomorrow's balmy 32C?:)
Marco.
might have to deploy the fan!
23.2C indoors now, I'm fine up to about 28C then it starts being a bit too warm, but I don't think it will get that warm inside just in one day.
Plus the humidity is forecast to be really low.
Low humidity makes a huge difference; it's the humidity that does me in the most.
But yes, deploy the fan - you'll be comfier that way.
Marco.
15C at the moment, and expected to reach 29C later.
17C now, expecting 32C.
A cloudy 16c so far , a bit of sun and then
21C outside, 25.2C indoors.
23°C outdoors, 23.2°C indoors.
Curtains drawn and fan at the ready!
Marco.
Temporary relocation means it’s probably 30+C and somewhat humid.
Eclipse day today.
Starts around 1800, Missed the last one in 1999 as was at work and they wouldn't let us go outside. Although not a full eclipse for us this time I don't think.Quote:

29°C now... Still having lunch outside in a mo, but if gets any warmer, dinner will be enjoyed indoors.
Marco.
I was at work as well; but being at an electronics research centre, there were enough of us interested to justify taking the day off, hiring a minibus and driving to Amiens in northern France to view, photograph and enjoy the experience. I took some good photographs of the totality, which I will try to find and somehow copy across to here. (It might have to be a digital copy made of a photographic print.)Quote:

The sun will be low in the western sky, so try to find somewhere high to experience the eclipse.
Thanks for sharing that, Barry, and yes, pics would be good! Any excuse to go for a jolly to France, eh?:eyebrows:
30°C now and rising...
Marco.
30C here now too on the Stoke Riviera, Only 23.5 inside though.
32°C outside, 25°C inside - the curtains and fan are doing their job!
Marco.
23.4C inside, actually getting cooler in here somehow.
Finally getting some eclipse-related action here. It's a weird twilight.
The eclipse here was disappointing. Supposedly started at 18:05 with a maximum coverage of 92% at 19.12 and ending at 20:00.
The only thing that happened was it did get cooler, but not noticeably darker. The idea of using a collander to project the sun's disc onto a sheet of white card was a dismal failure, much to the disappointment of our neighbours. Still there was some avian activity, thinking it was time to roost, but that might have been wishful thinking.
I suggested they watch it all on the 9 or 10 o'clock news! :hmm:
That's the sort of thing we were expecting - but no luck. :(Quote:

As for them eclipse glasses - from essential to landfill at the speed of light.
This sort of stuff doesn't excite me - Del's into it, though.
Marco.
It is not so much an excitement, rather a recognition that we too are animals and have an inheritant, subconscious response, in just the same way as our neanderthal cousins did.
What is interesting is to think just how terrified our distant ancestors must have been for those few short minutes :eek:
We were at Disneyland Paris today, the non-eclipse was the best part of the day from mine and Will’s view! (Actually that’s not true, the Star Tours “4D” film/ride was pretty cool.) Weather was up to the expected billing, got to 35c. 38c predicted tomorrow and Friday, then cools down to 29c with a chance of drizzle in the morning on Saturday. Hoping to do a few local things then, back to do the other part of Disney tomorrow and Paris central on Friday - both in the heat!
