Yesterday afternoon was the first time in weeks (well back into May) that it felt like a genuinely pleasant British summers day.

And it still rained for a couple of hours.

Didn't get any rain at our house in West Berks, but the air didn't feel cold. I think I burned the top of my head.

Can you smell that?

Smells like summer...

Smells like something, not sure it's summer.

Today was an improvement though.

I will believe it when I see it.

As sure as night follows day, when the Puggit family go on holiday the weather gets hot

Was on a night shift last night, so took my bike and took my break at 0430 so I could ride to St Catherines Hill in Winchester for the solstice sunrise. Was awesome, and the weather actually played ball for a change!

Cracking shots.

I bring you gifts...

Walberswick beach, this morning.

Dog for scale.

I was at a funeral in Suffolk yesterday, Ship Inn Levington for the wake. Nice part of the world.

Stunning evening on the North Sea coast (Saltburn)

Crikey, it stays light forever up north

Very grateful some warmth finally arrived - allows me acclimitise slightly before arriving in Bangkok on Friday!

Nothing for scale, poor photography skills. 0/10.

It’s a lovely day to be in work, in a clean room, with few windows ??

I think the out-of-focus boat is providing scale?

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

[Puggit]

Hello from Chiang Mai in Thailand. After Bangkok it's a mere 33 degrees and lower humidity. You can actually sit outside

[Puggit]

Colin hated warm summers. He's certainly left his mark...

[Puggit]

My rain alarm keeps going off. How's it going?

[Puggit]

Caught some rain in Thailand today. Had to dive in to a bar for a Singha. Temp dropped to 27. Shocking.

[Puggit]

34 degrees in Thailand today. Occasional showers (one every 3 days or so) - not a bad start to the rainy season for us.

Just on a transfer from Ao Nang to get the ferry to our next resort. We have a villa with a private beach and pool. Off season and mates rates means we're paying less than for a hotel room in London for 2.

Sigh

[Puggit]

At this point, there's not many f...s given

[Puggit]

Flying home tomorrow. Not sure how I'll cope with high teens / low 20s

[Puggit]

Our minibus driver to Krabi airport is getting us ready for our return home... 30 degree rain outside.

[Puggit]

Finally home. After 2 weeks of mid to high 30s and crazy humidty, by God it's cold

Water butts are full and garden looks great. Thanks Mother Nature
