What's your weather like? (2)

Sunny start to the day here.

 

Every day here is different. It also looks like we skipped summer this year, it's definitely autumn here. Heatings on this evening. :(

 

Glorious sun today, followed by the howling winds again, always the wind.

 

Morning all...Well what lovely warm weather here yesterday and today
Yesterday we had a BBQ to celebrate my son's 30th Birthday and Saturday looked bleak and we were concerned to say the least:(
Only shines on the righteous don't they say:D....But whoever is in charge of the weather,we thank you

 

Same as yesterday here; after a lovely fresh start it has now gone very warm (bit too warm for me), with a light breeze, just the odd cloud here and there...

 

Hot and sunny, 30 +deg c in the shade here.
All of you who are wishing for warmer weather, it's o.k, but too hot to work in in the day. Evening weeding only.

 

Hot & humid in Dorset.

 

on a side note but related to weather ...

on another forum, (not a gardening forum) people in the USA are today reporting that autumn is a month and a half too early this year? ...

leaves have already started falling .... deer are restless and moving in herds...

acer's have been dying in canada (some say it could be a fungal disease ) ... c rab apple trees are almost bare ... willows are loosing their leaves too early etc etc

amanitas in parts of the US have started popping up (a month and a half too early)

someone in west germany is stating that the nut trees have much more nuts than normal, and is an indication of extreme cold to come

and these comments are just from normal folk who know very little about gardening .... the consensus is that winter will be extremely cold

also read some comments on another forum stating that if there are a lot of berries on the berry producing trees in the UK at this time of year, .... the winter will be very cold in the UK ....

and many are saying that the berries are much more than normal for this time of year (and much more than last year the same time, bearing in mind that we had the coldest temp in 100yrs ) ....

I don't know if that is old wife's tales, but will be interesting to see what happens in the next few months ... :(

 

I think we have had the old berry weather folklore before Dim.

Remember what it was like during the spring?

A nice warm sunny April and May.

How a plant can foretell the weather is beyond me.

It can only react to the weather that has gone or is happening now.

 

After waiting what seems an eternity it's...........













WET WET WET folks; we have some of that stuff called RAIN :D :happydance:

And it appears plenty of it, I went to bed last night at midnight and it was still dry, got up half an hour ago (5ish) and our two "empty" rain butts are now full and overflowing!!

 

....and now; you've guessed it, it's an almost cloudless sky!!! :DOH:.....and the forecast for here is getting drier and much warmer as we move to and through the weekend, I've a feeling the rain butts won't stay full long....ah well we have to be thankful for small mercies :D :thumb:

 

we are lucky here in the UK

some people in the USA are panicing and buying emergency provisions including water, tinned foods, pet food etc

Hurricane Irene will cause chaos in some parts if it continues on the current simulated computer trajectory:

I just hope that it shifts and moves seawards
