    It finally turned out quite hot.
    Overcast this morning, supposed to be wet but no sign of it yet.

      The good weather they forecast for the next week to 10 days has fizzled out.

      Heavy cloud and a cool breeze at the moment. Maybe sunny intervals later. It was meant to rain at 5pm, but that has fizzled out too.

      Best to do one's own forecast. Could be anything.

            It is hot and humid out there already, 29c and 70%, sun out fully now, no breeze.

            Here is how it looked at 7.30pm yesterday with the misting on ... our excuse for rain! The Hibiscus love it.

              We are at 32c now and overcast with a breeze which has brought in the dust from Africa which we will have for several days now.

                It’s much warmer outside than the announced 21c.
                BBC is quite off with their weather. Yahoo says what it is: 24c Sunshine pure.

                  The day improved as it went along, almost totally clear sky now and it reached 26c during the afternoon.
                  24c now and the pesky wind appears to have dropped some.

                    A while ago there were 2 light rain showers.

                        Early start for me as I volunteer at our local walled garden. I was weeder/pruner for the wildlife garden section and it got quite warm the sun came out and had to put sun cream on. Collected 2 big buckets of weeds both transferred into our compost homemade bins we've got 6 altogether. It was around 19c today looking forward to the rest of the week could be 'summer' for a few days .

                              We are back to a 24c forecast for today.
                              Just stood in the garden for a few seconds, nice warm with 14c, and there were a few rain drops but stopped shortly later.

                              Thanks Logan for your video links.

                              This is what happens when I say the Downs somehow don't get rain.

                                Yesterday was wall to wall sunshine and today is supposed to be the same, but hotter. They forecast 27C but it is currently overcast and looking as though we may get some dampness - but I wouldn't hold my breath and the sprinkler is on the veggies. Even with the overcast and being fairly early the solar panels are knocking out some power.
