sparkysmum Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Getting really down about our continual, persistent awful weather. Don't think it's been dry here for more than a few mins since the schools broke up for the hols a week ago. Not even going away this year.Feeling so sad Alli x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Sorry about your weather Alli. We seem to have been a bit luckier and have had some sunny spells but it has been very changeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 If I was an alien and just landed on planet Earth in the UK, I would have no idea at all it was Summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Wet and nasty Not as windy though, thankfully. We're having to light the rayburn- not for warmth, as it's still quite muggy, but to keep the damp at bay! There seems to be a complete lack of definition between the seasons these days... fed up of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 It is very dark an threatening here but quite warm and humid 16 degrees. It is ED's prom tonight and she is currently washing and vacuuming our 23 year old Volvo estate, which she then wants to decorate with ribbon and use it as her limo for the evening. I have a nasty feeling that it is going to rain on her parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 16deg here but feels colder and we've had some really heavy showers this morning. Rosie had a 'leadership thingy' yesterday as part of the G&T programme; it seemed to involve running around the wood at Horley and getting drenched and covered in mud!

The Dogmother Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just had this from the H&S wallahs at head office (they are a bit obsessed as some of our staff spend a lot of time driving): The Met have issued early AMBER weather warnings for – Friday 6th July 2012.Amber warnings meaning – be prepared. Please reflect on the driving risks and issues noted below Use the links to plan and check any intended journeys – especially long journeys. The Met have issued Amber warnings for the:- the Midlands northwards to Newcastle. The Met have issued Yellow warnings for the:- Other areas of the UK except for the south west England/Wales and very north of Scotland As extracted from the Met web site:- Issued at - 04 Jul 2012, 12:19 Valid from - 06 Jul 2012, 00:05 Valid to - 06 Jul 2012, 23:55 Heavy and persistent rain is likely to extend north and west across many eastern, northern and central parts of England and Wales on Friday, reaching much of southern Scotland later in the day.

The Dogmother Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Didn't last long though - soon clouded over, thick black, thunderous clouds, torrential rain for half an hour. It's slowed to a drizzle now but is very humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 We had a pretty good day yesterday, typical because it was my day for the office, but we did have an alfresco lunch and then we ate our tea in the garden at home, it was a beautiful evening. Today back to reality 16 degrees humid and tipping down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 We had a couple of short heavy showers yesterday but it was quite pleasant for the rest of the day. There's a lot of high white cloud this morning... it could go either way! The forecast sounds awful for the north and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
