The colin_p appreciation summer sun and storm thread 2024

Yikes. The fact it barely moves overnight is what would do me in for sure.

[magpie215]

For me...."not raining" is the baseline for good summer weather this year.

[thepritch]

Turned out way better than forecast in Deeside. 20 degs, direct sun.

Even had to put on the sun cream whilst outside gardening, then got a bike ride in, in summer kit! Yes!

[Its Just Adz]

Pretty cold this morning, got my big hoody on for work.

We’ve been in Germany and it’s been very humid, and raining while about 22-25°. It’s meant to dry out later in the week though, and we’re off to Slovenia and Croatia.

This is just getting silly........Summer is slipping away.

[Wacky Racer]

What's happened to it?

I live in the North West of England, here we are, July 1st, it's cold a raining hard outside.

I reckon there has been no more than six or seven nice warm dry days all through April/May/June.

Come back 1976.

No no the first few months of the year beat previous heat records, it's been drier than normal, these temps are about average but we had a warm June last year etc etc etc

[cliffords]

Yes it was better before the introduction of Electric cars, I figure they must be causing global cooling.
Just looking at Wimbledon here on TV. It must rain there soon always does in these two weeks.

[LordGrover]

and don't forget all them there giant fans in fields blowing the cold air our way.

[av185]

Be cracking the flags in a couple of weeks for the rest of the Summer.

And how many nice days since June 28th 2023 (when the weather broke after last years heatwave). We’ve had, bar the odd day, basically a year of non-stop rain.

However we will be told it’s record breaking hot, and despite the UKs insignificant emissions that we should just pay more tax. That’ll fix it.

But global warming so we all need to drive an EV to save ourselves.

On the positive side you get 20-30 minutes more daylightcloud with your sunset being later than down south

Yep, pretty much. Nothing but cloud today, but 'it's not raining' so I am working from garden table.

[p1stonhead]

Slipping from this weather, straight into Autumn and then back through Winter is going to be a hell of a thing to try and mentally get through.

A staggering amount of places around the world are absolutely smashing through their historic all time heat records every day at the moment.

We happen to not be.

Doesn’t mean it isn’t happening elsewhere. It may do one day to us.

Let's hope that one day is on a weekend

"historic all time heat records" Lol

Records that only go back 160 (or whatever) years are an entirely pointless yardstick given the age of the planet. In fact such claims are pointless given the timeframe of just human life on the planet.

I shouldn’t have bitten. But let’s keep this thread casual and not pollute it with climate denial yeah?

If you disagree with the worlds scientists then go write a paper and get it published.
