The Weather Thread # 7

Glad I wasn't giving birth today, hottest day yet, having said that I have loved this hot spell, but must admit I felt a tinge of excitement when I put the recycling out this evening and went round making sure that there was nothing outside that shouldn't be just in case it rains. Our allotment is starting to look a bit singed and sad.

Well we had about half an hour of on-and-off heavy rain - only filled my first water butt by a third :( no overhead storms, just rumbling around the edges.

 

19.5deg this morning at 5am, still and overcast.

 

Was so hot yesterday that some of the deer at work were swimming in the lakes to cool down.

Must have been your storm we heard then... it certainly wasn't overhead at home.

 

Very dark here at work and they've clearly had more rain here than at home, currently 21.6deg in the shade, overcast and very muggy. the deer I saw on the way in this morning looked a bit happier than they did last night.

We seem to have missed rain....a few spits and spots so far and an empty water butt and thirsty runner beans! :roll:

The forecast for tomorrow looks pretty wet tho so maybe the garden will green up thereafter - will take a c*****n out of the freezer to roast as it looks like a Barbie will be rained off; will be odd to use the oven again!

 

Can't get motivated to exercise in this weather tho, did 10 mins on rowing machine this am but it so hot in the house (and, now the boys are home, they just laugh at me :shock: )

Lovely day yesterday, I was stuck in a hot office for most of it, but then had a lovely meal out at a local pub with a beer garden, it was lovely and warm even after dark.

 

We were forecast rain from midday today but it has been lovely so far. :D

 

My hollyhocks are finally blooming. :D

The large water butt at the bottom of the garden is now overflowing following last night's rain, it was just a third full and takes water off the shed roof (8 x 6). However, we have had no rain today, and I have managed to dry a line full of towels very quickly as it is so windy! Even two tea towels which were wrung out by hand!

 

It is very changeable, dark clouds rolling past and bright sunshine breaking through, temperature in the shade is 21 degrees, and still feels very heavy :?
