The Dogmother Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 13deg this morning, windy and drizzling. The rain has stopped for now but I am told that we're to expect thunder storms today. Much warmer out than in, but my office is always too warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

percy049 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Heatwave here! 30C temperatures mean super quick drying time for cleaning out houses! The only down side is that you almost die from sweltering in your wellies and trousers! UV index of 7 means all those germs will die too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Heatwave here too, the met office says: The probability of heatwave conditions in parts of England and Wales between 1200 on Sunday and 0900 on Tuesday is 60% so only til tuesday!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 There really is a north south divide here. I fell as if I am living on a different planet. Drizzle all yesterday. Overcast and humid with 20˚ today and rain forecast all week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 i just hacked all the shrubs in my garden apart - and i seem to have inherited an 8ft towering bramble which is choking some plants in a bed, so i killed that one too - so much easier when everything's dried out! i hope this weather sticks so when i clean out the chooks midweek i can give it a good soak my laptop says it's 25 degrees in worthing right now - phew! i can feel i'm catching the sun!

craftyhunnypie Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hot hot hot!!! We were sat outside eating ice creams earlier. My arms , shoulders & face have really caught the sun - reddy /brown , white watch marks & everything - I'm a bit tingly now.. Aftersun to the ready! Am inside now under the fan. Will be sat out under the veranda later for tea. I love this continental weather. Emma.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 It started overcast and drizzly but we had our annual street party today, so were glad when it cleared up, although we all tried to keep out of the sun as it reached 36deg!!!! I kept coming inside to cool down as the house is always lovely and cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 27 degrees in the garden at the moment - not bad for almost 8.30 pm. Dreading my portacabin classroom at work tomorrow - it will be like an oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Ahh but I bet your arms & shoulders aren't on fire & tingly. I am now smelling like a coconut after putting on the Aftersun.

The Dogmother Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yes, they are starting to stack up here now too. I have the windows on both sides of my office wide open and there's a nice breeze. I heard talk of storms later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yes, they are starting to stack up here now too. I have the windows on both sides of my office wide open and there's a nice breeze. I heard talk of storms later In my copy of the metro an 'internet weather forecaster' said something about tornadoes They then quoted a Met Office spokesperson who didn't mention tornadoes at all - quel surprise!

The Dogmother Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 We don't ever seem to get them here, I have seen small tornado-type flurries when the conditions are right but perhaps we're just too hilly here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I've definitely never seen one - and we get incredibly high winds, being on the coast with no shelter, so I think the 'tornadoes' threat was a bit of scaremongering - would an eglu blow away in a tornado?

Egluntyne Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 A This must be summer. Ah well, it was nice while it lasted. Two hot days and a thunder storm. Typical English summer. Thunder now rumbling in the distance, and rain drops the size of dinner plates coming down. At least I got my hedges cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
