chickencam Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Like a warm wet blanket outside, I swear everything in the garden has grown two inches overnight too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 My goodness hot and humid!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 It has been lovely recently, but rather humid by the end of the day. We're due heavy storms tonight, mind you, the last lot they predicted never appeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 We missed out on the last storms too I hope they materialise this time. Been very hot and sunny here too- my hay fever has belatedly gone into overdrive! We had some rain overnight and it's cloudier this morning.

Valkyrie Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Forget the wilting - I'm melting! Already slurped a litre all in all of water, coconut water and about to have a coffee!!! This morning the clouds looked like the aftermath of an overnight storm - it looked a little menacing to say the least. Thankfully it hadn't and just as well - I left OH's jumper out on the washing line! There were a few spots of very, very light rain in Aldershot but not enough to quench a bee's thirst!!! Very hot now and as usual it's windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 it's humid and muggy here we've had a bit of rain but not enough to clear the air or lay the dust for any length of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Really muggy this morning and then a heavy thundery shower just before lunch. A bit brighter, cooler and breezier now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 We've had lots of dark cloud, high winds abut only a couple of sprinkles of rain. Much brighter now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Seems to have been a light smattering of rain last night - it was on the greenhouse roof. Didn't notice any wet when picking strawberries though. Today hot and humid but it had a bit of light relief with the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 It's hot and stuffy here. Just been for a walk and spotted a great slab of grey cloud approaching us. We could do with a bit of rain before the forcasted heatwave arrives next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daphne Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I think the UK is going to experience our heatwave mid-week. High 30s yesterday, may hit 40 today or tomorrow I am watering twice a day, and retiring to the cool of the house for the rest of the time. Its the one time I am pleased I don't have the chooks to worry about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Showers in the night, and heavy rain this morning. Currently 13.9deg, rain has abated, so I'm off out to clean and pack away the spare eglu now that the newbies are integrated with the rest of the flock. I am hoping that it will brighten up and we're hoping to get to the last day of a local steam rally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 We had heavy rain at about 6am and on and off since. Think it has stopped now, only has 5mm though but better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 We made it to the steam rally; cloudy and muggy, few spots of rain. It's quite warm now... we codul do with a storm before that heatwave in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Checked the forecast at 6.20am before setting off for the boot sale....no rain till 11.00am so merrily set off (as merrily as one can be at 6.30am). Drizzled on the way there but the sky looked clear so decided to stick with. A few spits and spots around 9.00am then full blown rain by 10.15 Packed up and came home. Overcast all afternoon!

Groovychook Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Blisteringly hot here with a warm breeze. Hear it's going to be even hotter tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Stunning here too. Just been out to look at a local golf club as a venue for a work event; it is on a pretty high hill, and we were buzzed by a couple of Merlin copters. I think they use it as a landmark on some exercise. We are very near Silverstone, so there are traffic problems from that, plus various works in town, so work has advised folks to work from home for the rest of the week.. Sadly I live close enough not to use that as an excuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 28deg as I left work, and coming out of the office was like stepping off a plane in a hot country walked the dogs in the shade, along a stream this evening. Luckily our house is lovely and cool inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
