    There was a tremendous 2 hour thunderstorm at 5pm, 20mm rain in the gauge (0.75 inch). That will do a lot of good

        It reached 29C yesterday and the rain missed us :sad:. Can't remember when it rained last but the ground is cracking up a lot. Mrs Shiney tried to do some weeding, in the shade, but couldn't get the fork into the soil. I didn't attempt to help as I don't do gardening in the heat. :nonofinger:

                  Cloudy but bright start here. O'night low was 13 degrees, [16 just now at approx. 7.40 am] and a good breeze which will stop me getting too hot when I'm out my walk, which I'll do soon. It's to get windier as the day goes on, and then be wet from early to mid afternoon. The predicted high is around 19, and lowering once the rain comes in.

                  Yesterday was cloudy with some smirr through the morning, and sunny by about 1pm when the sun broke through. The high was 21 degrees, and it was very calm.

                    Sunny and 14 degrees with not a breath of wind, think it'll be a day of feet up in the shade.

                      Bright, sunny, breezy, 19c heading for the low 30s as usual. Our High Heat Temperature has been extended through tomorrow now. However, we are better off than Spain and France having the Atlantic on two sides.

                        The garden looks green and lush after yesterday's rain. Today is cooler, overcast and calm, 19c heading to 27 and dry.

                          Pretty constant here with 29C - 33C and just the odd wisp of cloud, and 15C (comfortable) to 19C at night. Fine as long as you've got a reliable source of water for the garden :biggrin:

                              It’s much cooler today, despite no rain overnight. Still T shirt weather though, and more conducive to gardening. Water butts nearly empty.
