    Cooling off a treat here thanks to a breeze. It only hit about 26 here anyway. Think that was it for the hot spell. I wonder if we’ll have another warm spell before Summer packs up for its vacation south??

        It reached 32 but next to no breeze compared to yesterday's strong breeze. Very muggy. Tonight is forecast at 14C, so that's a good deal.

            It hit 40C in our main, very sheltered, garden but 34C in the rest of the garden. It was 17C at 2 a.m. this morning but 15C now.

            Our forecast for today is 28C :phew:

              Good morning. Checking on the rain forecast, it doesn't look good for us, no rain at all.
              Currently 12c, and will go up to 23c today with sunshine all the time. I take the rain forecast for tonight with a pinch of salt. I will believe when I see it.

              If it were up to the Met Office's radar, we had rain yesterday at 5:30 AM, at 10:30 AM (I actually heard a grumbling in the west while sitting in the garden), again at 11:40 AM, and we had even heavy rain with 32mm at 12:35 PM.
              None of this is true because the clouds went between Cirencester and us where the Cotswold Water Park is.
              That is the hole I'm talking about: the Downs. The rain goes to the left and right during the summer.

                  Damp, cloudy start here. O'night low was 11 degrees [14 just now at approx. 7.35 am] and a predicted high of about 17/18 degrees with strong gusty winds most of the day, and a mix of cloud, rain, and even some sun thrown in too.

                  Yesterday was wet most of the morning, easing a good bit after the thunderstorm, and becoming drier by midday, and sunny, mixed with some light cloud, in the afternoon. Light breeze and ahigh of 20.

                    It did go down to 11c according to my max/min thermometer in the greenhouse so was probably 10c outside :scratch:

                        Cool but pleasant this morning.
                        Rain forecast for later this afternoon- not sure if will be drizzle or the water-butt-filling kind.
