Groovychook Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 It's been hot and sunny here since midday but the sky over towards the west is an angry shade of airforce blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 It has been very humid and hot here all day - still 27deg even at 8:25pm! The sky has cleared, then massive clouds have heaped up on and off all day. Phil came up this afternoon, and we took the dogs out to one of the village fêtes, then sat outside the pub looking out over a local valley, and watched the clouds massing. Disappointingly, we haven't had any storms yet, so I have just been out to water the pots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Cooler here today but, looking at the sky, could go either way! Hoping for some rain this afternoon; I have some lavenders to plant and can't get the spade in the ground...its baked clay! Plus the waterbutt is empty again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Was the same here this morning. I took the dogs out early and got outdoor things done while I could.... good job really as it's raining now. All my water butts are empty too.

Groovychook Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 We're having a lovely warm, sunny day... what a difference 24 hours makes. Making the most of it because I know it's not going to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 we had a warm sunny and muggy morning but it started raining about oneish with next to no wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The forecasters couldn't have got today more wrong if they'd tried. They forecast heavy rain all day,but it's been beautiful - dry, sunny (blue sky with white fluffy clouds) and warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 11deg, dark and wet; they got that one right then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 It has poured down all night. Quite humid too so had a sleepless night. Don't like warm and wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Ok here at the moment, overcast. I have done a couple of hours gardening already as the forecast is wet later. Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 We had heavy rain yesterday afternoon and again over night, just started raining again now too. We were in the car for about 7 hours yesterday and managed to miss most of the heavy rain which was great, I hate travelling when it is pouring down especially on motorways.

The Dogmother Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Only 9deg this morning, and chilly. There were geese flying south this morning, and starlings singing their going away song on TV aerials as I walked the dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 One of the wettest most horrible mornings I've ever had at work this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 It has been thrashing with wind and bucketing on and off since midnight, very dark, but still 14deg, so not too cold. I don't envy you out on the water today, mullethunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Vile yesterday until late pm, followed by a very wet and even windier night. All seems calm at the moment with a glimmer of sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 We had a calmer, brighter slot too... For all of 10 minutes. Back to thrashing around now, water butts are fully though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Monday was vile here but yesterday was ok just a couple of short showers. Rained overnight heavily another 14 mm just drying up now and the sun is trying to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Lovely day yesterday but it's raining again Lucky to have got the lawn mown. It had grown so long with all this warm, wet weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Not a bad day yesterday, but drizzling today, so Sunday roast is on and relaxed family day ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Been wet here on and off for most of the day, warm though. Had my dad up for the weekend, and we managed to get quite a few things done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 It was lovely here on Saturday, good thing we picked that day for the archery club open morning Yesterday morning was drier than expected but wet in the afternoon and over night. Grotty this morning. OH was going to an amateur radio rally this morning but when he looked at the forecast he decided not to go as many of the traders won't go when it is wet. Feel sorry for people and organisations who have organised things for yesterday and today. DS and his girlfriend and her extended family are on holiday I hope it is better weather for them.
