So...that was summer then?!
Shorts and sun loungers packed away for another year...FFS!



I hate the UK climate.

Where are you? It’s glorious in London right now.

Where are you in London? Swiss Cottage - cloudy & no sign of sunshine although it should re-appear later this evening.

Tomorrow is looking nice 'n sunny 24C

I was in Notting Hill and it was sunny when I wrote that. Not so much now though lol

Windy, cloudy and rain for the 2nd day up here in the NE. Had a glorious week of shorts and BBQ's and sitting outside till late. Hopefully we'll get some more as that's been the first proper decent spell of nice weather we've had this year.

Gloriously sunny once again in Suffolk coastal. Though, it's windier and now cloudier than this morning.

(Nuclear power station for scale).

Blib you can stop eating ready brek now.

Over near Reading it's cloudy, a bit breezy and feels quite cold. Forecast says 18 but it feels less than that.

Is that not the Moon I see for scale? Above the dome?

Just got back from a week in Cornwall renting a cottage in St. Agnes.

Apart from last Saturday and Tuesday, it's been overcast and 17°. Visited Chapel Porth beach yesterday morning, and there was bloody fog rolling in. Had the heating on of an evening three times.



Still, nice part of the world.

Tomorrow should be a perfect day in London 24C & sunny all day - shame I have to work

Hello from Bangkok. Yesterday was 38 and hazy. Today we had a super cell bubble up over us and now heading to 36 and sunny...

Humidity off the scale

[Bill]

I remember the heat and humidity landing in Bangkok and thinking it wasn't too unbearable. Then I stepped outside the airport building and realised they had Aircon on.

Too foggy for a hedgehog ice-cream at Chapel Porth?

Lovely down here, if a bit cool. All three of my kids are doing their DofE hike this weekend so I was hoping for more cloud!

[hammo19]

Another day of grey cloud, wind and precipitation here in the North East. We have had about 5 days this year when it’s been hot enough to sit in the sun. Summer had elided us so far this year and I’m sick and tired of hearing how lovely it is down South.

Preston forecast for the next week.

Grim.

[Chicken Chaser]

I see I missed summer last week when I was working. Back to rain today and for the foreseeable.

Ah, the Hedgehog ice-cream...

Top tip: don't try to eat one driving a 2.8 injection Capri with one hand along those narrow Cornish roads. You might end up in a bit of a mess.

Nah, car park was full so ended up at Porthtrowan tucking into pasties bought from the St. Agnes bakery
