Summer?

Ah, MiniMoon, summer seems to have arrived in northwest Durham today. I wonder if it will still be here tomorrow...... But if it is, I might have to do some gardening.

Gillybob - we seem to have missed the torrential rain so far in our corner of Co. Durham, although the weather was less good this morning. Did it pass north or south of us, I wonder? We've had glorious sun all afternoon.

I’m further North and very close to the sea Septimia . It kept going black dark then thundering, then torrential rain . On and off all day . Quite warm now though . Heavy flooding in some parts too . More of the same forecast for tomorrow too.

nice to be near the sea.

Its absolutely stifling here.

and when its a heatwave. we wish we were somewhere cooler.......dont stay indoors when its colder go find somewhere free to visit. plenty of places to see...

We live in the south east and get generally good summers however I often think I would like to holiday in the north so many interesting places to visit.

A few years back we had a lovely few days in York however one day we visited some WW2 Camp all decked out how they were in wartime, but I was so cold that day I vowed never to return and that was in May ? I think I must have become a southern softy.

Glad that, despite my gloomy predictions, Yorkshire weather came up trumps for you today minimoon. A good day for the show, warm enough to wear proper summer clothes but not so hot as to be uncomfortable, prefect!!

23:14 Thurs and 19° in Godalming. Weather for the week projected to be 24-26° but it feels very warm right now with windows wide open, fan whirring away and even the thin sheet covering me has been pushed right down.
A breeze would be very welcome ? ?

This afternoon watching the ferry come in from Scotland. Rather overcast but not enough drizzle to keep us from the pebble beach and the rock pools.

Pleasant day in Newcastle County Down, and quiet. Going for a walk to Murlough Bay (NT)
Its the Twelfth" day in Northern Ireland. Public holiday.

I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to hear that I was too hot today! I went out with my daughter to a small village in Perthshire and it was boiling there. I had to walk in the shade and of course have an ice cream to cool down.

Yesterday I drove through some of the heaviest rainfall I think I've ever experienced. The wipers couldn't keep up and at times I couldn't see the road. Yet a few miles away it was dry as a bone. It's all very annoying as I never know what to wear, bikini(!) or galoshes & sou'wester.

I was in France (Burgundy area) recently, and the weather went from seriously chilly on arrival - I was really glad I'd packed warm cardigans - to stinking hot - 38 deg + - within just a day or two.

It's always very changeable/unpredictable in that particular area, but this was something else.

Well it’s struggling to hit 16 degrees and it’s lashing down (again) here on the NE coast. It’s quite depressing when you only get 2 days off and you get rubbish weather .

It's so bloomin' cold here I've got a chunky jumper on and my feet are like two blocks of ice.
It's saying 18 degrees ( it never is ! ) down to 14.

You wouldn't believe it was the same country as Wimbledon !

Mostly rain for all of next week ! It's soul destroying.

We are down to 14 here too EllanVannin and I’ve just put a fluffy blanket over my feet . Might have to put the heating on for a bit later . It’s stopped raining (for now ) but it’s very grey and there’s definitely more to come . My late grandad would’ve blamed “Thatcher” for this

It was very warm last night and warm again today. I just saw a large black cloud approaching but it's gone so it looks as if we need to water again.
17:40 and 23C.

I blame Brexit gillybob---for everything.hahahaha.

Edinburgh here and the sky has turned a funny blue colour. It’s also got quite warm - any idea what’s going on? It’s very strange

We're back in Brum now after seven hot sunny days in Devon. Birmingham is dull and cloudy and our plants look as though they have been battered by a storm

Yes we're having quite the heatwave this afternoon! Near Edinburgh.

My poor plants are a bit battered too KatyK and it feels like a kind of mild November. Weird .

Yes very odd gilly
