WHAT'S YOUR WEATHER LIKE 2018

Better still today..... only 26/79

Can't wait till Saturday, forevast us absolutely beautiful........... 22/71 and rain

 

It's funny you saying that Logan because when I have the duvet on me I can't hear the alarm clock but sleeping on top with this heat i'm wakening at 6am

All day it's been nothing but hot again and humidity levels do kick in about 11am and getting through the day is like a mighty chore Temp here at the moment 62F

@KFF sorry mate but it's another night on top

 

Well, yesterday we had a high of 40c, but the thunder forecast for 8pm didn't come.

We went to bed at midnight, with temperatures of 28.5c. As we settled into our mozzie-netted bed, with all Windows wide, wide open, there was a grumble to the north west. So glad I got up to look. Within mins we had mini-tornado style winds roaring up the valley. You could actually hear it approach! Ran around closing windows again, as it was strong enough to move our dormer windows! The sound of cracking branches from the woods was not good. After 15 mins of winds, we had a few spots of rain, then sheet lightning, then torrential rain, before the storm blew out. The temp had dropped to 20c in the storm, but then rose again. Climbed out of bed to open windows. Two more storms came through, each time dragging me out of bed to first close, then re-open the windows. This morning it was only 24c upstairs, and a blissful 19c outside. All windows open again!!

Aftermath garden inspection.
The rush in the pond was blown over, but not damaged.
Half the chilli pots were blown over, but none snapped.
Tomatoes held on - I had harvested/tied in yesterday evening.
No broken branches that I can see on any of our trees - result!
A total of 2mm of rain fell... tomorrow, maybe, tomorrow....

 

Morning shiney it's a right load of Bull they keep coming out with...half the time it sounds like they're just judging it

Sian it sounds like you had a miserable night but pleased nothing serious happened with your garden

 

Well a quite night here and no rain...woke to a sunny morning but now it's and temp at the moment 53F tops 69F and probability of rain 55%.

A nice cool morning so far

 

I'm going to enjoy pottering in the garden, in TROUSERS!, and a tactical nap will be taken this afternoon

 

You made me pottering in the garden...well once done mate get your head down and catch up from last night

 

Now I know who to blame.... @JWK ..leaving out a measuring bucket is really tempting fate.
I`m wondering if washing all the windows will work. Here in the middle of East Kent, high up on the downs, we see the dark clouds and the rain falling all around -both north and south coast, while here it`s a bit like Moses` parting of the red sea, sweet naff all... so I`ve been playing with my new toy - a Gardena hose, one of those posh jobs that puts itself away (even that didn`t work - still no rain)

 

Had 3 heavy showers and 19c a lot more comfortable.

 

23.4C today, so a good 10 degrees down on yesterday.
Squeezed 5 mm of rain out the clouds yesterday evening and in a shower overnight, but it had dried up by 5.30 this morning, hardly visible.

looks rubbish for tomorrow.

I'm going to start a "bring back summer" campaign.
