What's your weather - 2016

I'm not a heat person and when temperatures get above 22C/72F I start to feel ill. So today with blue skies, sunshine and heat I've retreated, it's 29C/84F. We're promised a thunderstorm tonight, the rain will be welcome but not the lightning!

I remember that well @silu and you're correct it was 1976 with temperatures up to 38C/100F. I was pregnant with my first daughter through that blistering summer and driving a round trip of sixteen miles twice a day to take my mum to visit my dad in hospital, we did that for six weeks!

 

In the shade,


It was probably hotter earlier, my back garden is south facing,

In the greenhouse with the door and window open.

 

Just starting to cloud over after a hot day 32.3'c/90'f
Hot sunshine and blue skies up until 7pm

 

That sounds interesting @ARMANDII

It's been very hot here also

 

I kind of averaged it out amongst various thermometers sensors etc.

Came to the conclusion 33C seemed about right for us in this neck of the woods.

Its cooling down from tomorrow onwards, but still supposed to be reasonable.

To be honest my favourite temperature is 25 C dropping to 15 at night.

Its the kind of weather when you can do whatever without being too hot or cold.
But we cant have it all can we?

 

It is 8.45pm here and still 83.6f outside and 80.4f inside so we won't be sleeping tonight despite having a fan running all night in the bedroom

@pete I must have been having a blonde moment last evening when I said about the temperature not being in Imperial as all I had to do was press a certain button on my wether station which changes to either metric or Imperial values

 

Believe it or not, I woke up cold this morning with just a sheet over me, I really dont think the nights have been that oppressive down here at least, Saturday night was our warmest at something above 19C.
Current temp at 9.45pm is 26C just right if you are the bbq kind of person, me personally, I just like moving around without shutting doors.

For the last four days my weather station has been saying rain, for the 12 hour forecast, so I dont take too much notice of what those things say.

But for a conversion from imperial to metric they work ok.

 

Boring, horrible, boring.....

Clear blue skies, not a single cloud. Temperature 35 deg.

The predicted temperature overnight is 23 deg, oh fun

Horrible, boring, horrible.

 

Holy Moses, the forecasters got in right to issue a weather warning for round here. Amazing fork lightening thunder and torrential rain for the last 4 hours. Internet stopped working for a good hour or so presume due to the electrical storm?
Fork lightening is quite unusual for these parts, normally just get the flash sort. Had 1 amazing fork which went either side of 1 of out 30 odd ft Fir trees. It looked like someone had edged the tree in orange. At least this carry on should rid us of the ghastly humidity we'd had for the previous 3 days. Just had another shuddering doze of thunder and rain starting again....it ain't finished yet!

 

Really warm here, although the gathering storm has brought the temperature down from 36 to 33 in the shade... Really looking forward to the rain!!

 

Beautiful morning 22 deg, then we got a sea fog, only just starting to clear but left it cloudy.
Seems to be lingering just off the coast @silu https://www.lightningmaps.org/?lang...5;t=3;m=sat;r=0;s=0;o=0;b=;n=0;d=2;dl=2;dc=0;

 

I was just about to post this photo of my weather station temperatures when we heard a rumble of thunder overhead so have had to rush out and get my radio and gardening gloves in just in case we get a little bit of rain?...

 

23.9C was our overnight low.
A sunny start, then low cloud rolled in for much of the morning .
Sun came out in the afternoon, 31C ish
