      Morning, Victoria. I admire your persistence. My pots need almost daily watering, despite being in a much cooler place than you.

        Currently 21, forecast 24. Today is overcast but that's hardly news in the UK, and the 29-31C forecast for tomorrow and Monday is forecast grey as well.

              Warm and mostly sunny again. Netweather is showing a chance of a shower this afternoon but I don't think it'll happen - there's a dark grey cloud passing by right now so I think the rain is sliding past us as per usual.

                    It has been cloudy all day but has got very warm and clammy. Certainly appears that we shall have a very hot day tomorrow. With guests coming we have planned for that possibility :fingers crossed:

                      I was thinking the same what strongylodon said: doesn’t feel like heatwave. 19c, had the same 10 minute drizzle this morning like Logan. Cloudy all day, excellent for gardening. Have all done what could be done this month.

                        The week and a half of summer here has disappeared and that's probably it for this year. The last few days have been a mixture of sunshine, wind and rain with the temperature around 15C/59F.

                          We had a short sharp shower (lasted about one minute) shortly after my last post. Then sunshine again. The forecast is quite a bit warmer tomorrow, then unpleasant heat on Monday (forecasts ranging from 29C to 32C - this one is from Netweather which I find is usually the most accurate), then mid-20s for a couple of days, and then back to normal thank goodness. Then it'll probably rain for two weeks because I'm off work, hopefully to get some gardening done as well as some stuff in the house and a few trips.

                            “Turned out nice” - I needed sun cream on for a couple of hours sitting under parasol! I even saw a few butterflies.

                              Just came in after sitting out for an hour under the misting system (needs work on it as my hair is damp/wet. Counted 9 planes coming in ... our small airport cannot cope with that ... three from EU, five from the UK.

                              Currently 29,7c, 67% humidity and no breeze to speak of at ground level.
