The Dogmother Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yup, drizzly and dark but it's not cold, currently 11deg. Thanks for the thought though LolaLayla, it's supposed to clear up next week and be nice from then on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 My garden is a lake this morning. So much for the drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Flooding here too after a night of gales and heavy rain. Very mild though; was 13deg at 6am and it's now 16.7deg... heatwave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 We have had some massive gusts of wind this morning but it is quite warm and muggy, very odd weather, the sun is even poking through at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubababe Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Well left a 30' degree Malta this morning and was pleasantly surprised when we landed in Manchester. Bit cloudy BUT dry!! and it's just got better as the day went on. It's been sunny and pleasant and might even get the lawns mowed tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 It has been lovely here, clear blue skies to start with clouds coming in later but mostly sunny and warm in the sun but the cool breeze has meant that it was rather chilly in the shade.

pips_pekins Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Managed to get home before the rain. Sky turned very grey. Now we have bouncing hailstones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Have to agree DM. Last night the hail was terrible and today we seemed to have a monsoon although it is dry and bright at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Well, we have it back now 4deg at 6am this morning with a really bitter wind. Phil tells me that they are forecast snow or sleet showers 'on the tops' up in the Chilterns where he lives.... my garden was just starting to think that summer was on the way.

chickencam Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 It was cold overnight here and is supposed to be colder still tonight. My tomato plants are not enjoying all this weird weather. It was lovely and warm yesterday afternoon and evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 It's sleeting here now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 We just had a heavy sleety shower, but on the other hand it is a great drying day, I have dried a load of towels this morning in less than two hours. The sun is back out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Thanks for sending it here Liz! Black as anything and heavy hail followed by sleet, 7deg and the air pressure is right down too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Sunny here today but it's really chilly in the breeze. The flip flops are back in the cupboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Thanks for sending it here Liz! Black as anything and heavy hail followed by sleet, 7deg and the air pressure is right down too. You might be in for another lot then, because we have just had thunder lightening and hailstones the size of peas, very windy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 It's getting darker so you may be right... what's the betting that I get soaked on my dog walk this evening?! I do love storms though and I can't wait for one now that I've had the old fireplaces in the bedrooms opened up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan08 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 now that I've had the old fireplaces in the bedrooms opened up again. Although possibly not a good thing for me I might never get out of bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I am sure that we were told that it would be 17 degrees with sunny spells this weekend, it has been really cold, we have had the fire lit quite early both days and I didn't even thing about opening the greenhouse today. The forecast for later this week is 23 degrees and full sun, here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I have been judging at an archery tournament all day today in Leicester and it was freezing, despite lots of layers I was so cold, my hands were numb. But at least it didn't rain. I hope it warms up a bit soon. Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Bit chilly at the point 2 point met yesterday, took a while to thaw out last night. I know have the urge to get back in the saddle again - i think i am a little old to race anymore though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
