Heat.

Yesterday was really warm it got up to 27°-C here. Today at the moment it's 19°-C and hazy sunshine with a gentle breeze.
 
Had a very busy day yesterday, from early doors until about 10 pm, so didn't check in here. We had a very fine day although the clouds remained heavy at times and the retained heat became very muggy. Not nice. I never took much notice but I think we got to about 24°c. The clouds rolled in last night at twilight and we had rain overnight. We were just setling in when I heard the first rain.

Today is cloudy, muggy and we've had more rain. It's dry just now though but the skies look ominous. 14°c.

So that was summer. :LOL:
 
It's back down to 16°-C here at the moment, quite a bright morning though but very windy yet again.
 
Yesterday was awful, a proper stormy day, high winds and driving rain, it never got above 14°c either. It's not much better at the moment, although the rain has stopped for now at least and it's calmer. Currently 12°c.
 
I've just been into the back garden and it's really quite chilly as though it was an autumn evening. A quick Glos. weather check shows it's 14ºC.
 
Quite a nice bright morning here with a temperature of 16°-C at the moment and a light breeze.

I've been out since 04.30 and have now stopped at my fav' greasy spoon for some breakfast and maybe something else to eat that's not good for me. :)
 
Just right for an early ride this morning.
 
Much the same, dull and grey at the moment, although it is dry and I see broken clouds, so it may improve later on. I'm not sure what we have in store today, I've not checked. It's slightly warmer today, the heating hasn't been on for a few hours now and it's currently 14°c outside.
 
Too hot to eat at the patio table by 4.30pm.

All washing done and dried...:) 23ºC at 6.10pm as I post...not bad :) Back to the Euros second half. Italy v Switzerland 0-1.
 
Yesterday turned out to be a lovely day, after I'd finished my early morning snapping and had some breakfast I decided to just drift about snapping for another hour or so and then I made my way down to The Harbour and spent about four hours there just relaxing and talking to some mates putting the world to right.

Today so far the weather is overcast with a gentle breeze and 17°-C at the moment with a bit of rain forecast for later.
 
I was going to do a bit in the garden today until I went outside and felt the cold..Lol. Just 17ºC.

Btw. I thought it was going to be a dry night and put out the washing after the Euro game finished at 1015pm. A late finish due to a stoppage because of a thunderstorm over Dortmund which I got up via a live webcam on my iPad. People were sheltering under two large beer tents in the main square. Washing can often be dry by morning ..but..at 2.00am I heard the rain and had to bring it in. Wettish but not soaking. Like I was...:D
 
17°-C here at the moment, quite a pleasant morning but nothing special with light cloud and a moderate breeze.
 
Dull, grey, overcast and raining. I had hoped to cut the grass today but maybe not.

Currently 12°c.
 
July 1st and you have to have the CH on. :rolleyes:. It's too late now but I wished I'd moved into middle/southern Europe to live years ago.

Then you could be enjoying 40+ degree heat and a drought. :p

Yes. That's true. I'd forgotten about that. Maybe at a particular altitude in the Alps,then..or the Schwarzwald .

This makes for grim reading....https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/24/travel/heat-waves-europe-tourists.html
 
This weather is ridiculous for early July, only 15°-C here at the moment with light cloud and a moderate breeze and rain forecast for later.

That'll be the global warming....oh, hang on that doesn't work...errr, climate change, yes that's better, can never be wrong now... lol

But yeah, the seasons do seem well and truly messed up.
 
We have rain, it's dull, grey and set to be like that, off and on into tomorrow evening.

After a few exceptionally warm/hot summers, I'd say this is a typical British summer. It would be nice to get some fine weather but I am not missing the heat at all.

Currently 12°c.
 
Not very nice down here today. Only 12°-C at the moment raining and windy.
 
I'm not liking the look of these wind gusts on the West coast. The numbers have come down a little since checking yesterday, but still far too high for the ferries.
 
We've actually gotten off to a brighter start than forecast this morning, but it's about to change, with rain coming in from about 12pm. The grass will just have to grow for another day or so.

Currently dry though, with little wind and 14°c.

I'm hoping the wind gusts continue to go down otherwise I'll be in for a long alternative drive. A mild fart puts the ferry out of service.

Only used the ferries a few times Graham, and only recreationally and had smooth crossings every time. I don't fancy one on a rough day tbh. :puke:

It's just gone very dark and it's raining heavily and steadily. Begining of July and I've just put on a hoodie. Brrrrr.

Last night, looking at the BBC News/forecast for tomorrow I'm sure you're due heavy rain and thunder. :eek:

We've got 18ºC here at present and really dull.
 
Holy crap, it just went from threatening to full on torrential rain within a split second. Was out sorting my tyre pressures and got soaked in the time it took me to walk around my car! Lol
 
Dale.Re my above post. The forecast tonight shows that heavy rain and thunder for tomorrow a bit further north than Ayr. It's difficult to pin point it on the Met Office map with all those inlets and Glasgow wasn't showing on the map. I think you'll still get some rain but more showers.

Ventusky for the win. :)
 
Quite a bright morning here with a partly cloudy sky but very windy again and a temperature of 15°-C.
 
'Meh' is the word today. Dull, grey, squally with heavy showers. No chance the grass will get cut today. 12°C.

This might be conicidence as I get them often anyway but I have a bit of a migraine today. The last one I got was during a thunder storm a couple of months ago and apparently, there are storms developing today. We'll see. I do enjoy a good thunder storm.

I couldn't understand why you were giving me a tip for the winner of the 3.30 at Ayr ...:D

You've written 'win' instead of 'wind'. I Googled...Ventusky. A wind chart by a Czech company. I wanted to see rain so I Googled the Czech word for rain.There's a lot of options down the left side but 'Prsest'..with an inverted V over the 'e'...is not one of them.

This one will do fine,George :)

19ºC here,Dale. A lovely day with a breeze. I think I've mentioned it before that my wife mulled over the idea of moving back to Scotland..back for her,not me but I persuaded her,by showing her the weather each day for a week, that's it's much nicer down here. I do envy you the hide and the Kingfishers,though..and the North Channel/north Atlantic,if you're near to it.

Migraines are nasty things to have.I think lying down in a dark room is the best you can do.

Just been out to vote and I can't quite believe the weather for July, it's a bit nuts, more like a late Autumn day. Gusty, squally rain, the gusts being strong enough to have to lean into. It's also quite dark. I don't mind it being cool but for July, 12°c just doesn't seem right.
 
Not the nicest of days down here on the Kent coast, just 14°-C at the moment and raining steadily with once again strong winds.

Eh? Lol

I did mean "win" because it's an excellent weather tool with pin point coverage.
