Much more like it. Blue sky all day.

Here in Ayrshire, yesterday 20 degrees sun splitting the sky, today 14 degrees and overcast.

Spent a bit of time in the sun yesterday (20 mins in the garden max and a bit of time sat in the car with a door open while doing some diag work and my right arm has erupted with an itcy red rash. I've been getting it for a few years now and keep forgetting that I have what I believe to be undiagnosed Polymorphic Light Eruption - https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/polymorphic-light-er...

Typical that I am allergic to sunlight.

Forecast suggesting nothing above 19 for the forseeable in Surbiton. So yesterday was a serious blip then.

Less than 3 weeks until the days start getting shorter again and we've had barely a handful of nice days

18 degrees and some blue skies in Edinburgh today. That's a few days in a row now

Can't say the BBC has much to say to cheer things up

I preferred global warming rather than climate change

Sunday was a beautiful June day.
Dew on the grass & a warming sun after so many grey windy & cold days in May.
It was so good that the bloke over the river fired up his 2 stroke strimmer ay 9am & kept going for 2 hours.
Perfectly finished off by me with 21/2 hours driving on a busy A1 to make an appointment arranged ages ago.

Another super day in Deeside. Blue skies through out. Even got the grass cut tonight.

Local independent weather chap (he is usually right more than wrong) is still predicting snow on mountain tops, with a windchill of -11 at 1000m could be possible this week.

Ayrshire, a high of 12 degrees and pissing down.

Another glorious morning down here on the south coast....oh wait, it's just grey. Meh.

I start taking anti-histamine through late spring into summer and it works, provided I’m sensible with exposure and cream.

Burning off here, which is annoying as I have a load of stuff to do in the garden.

14 degrees and raining in Edinburgh today. Very grey.

[Its Just Adz]

Grey and raining all day in Preston.
I've give up hope of using the bbq again for a while.

[Scabutz]

It's cold, it's dark had to have the lamp on in my office. Now I've got a rain alarm alert and there is a massive band of rain moving across the country.

Dismal.

Moments of sunshine in Surbiton, but this year I think the main vibe is that it's not raining and is warm enough to be outside. Hoping for sunshine feels a step too far for 2024.

Why did I say anything. Rapidly cooling down and starting to rain. Forced back indoors.
