Re: Weather
 

Thats too hot for me.

Re: Weather
 

Just under 32 here In the sun trap bit; Not sure what the rest of the area as like as this is walled off so doesn't even get a hint of a breeze

Re: Weather
 

Yes there is a lovely breeze down here in Plymouth.;)

Re: Weather
 

West Mid's here too and a tad over 26*c lol

Re: Weather
 

28°C in Cambridge.

Re: Weather
 

It's too hot :( One extreme to another.

Re: Weather
 

According to the BBC website the last reading down here at The Solent is 19 degrees Centigrade.That was at 2pm..Got a nice breeze down here..

Re: Weather
 

26C here in Manchester and 37C in my conservatory with windows, doors and the ceiling vents all open. I am a tad warm :)

Re: Weather
 

At 37C I would think your 'melting' Joggy :)

Re: Weather
 

No idea on numbers here, but I do know trying to sleep as imma on nights for a few shifts is kinda tough..

Re: Weather
 

Tell me about it Wayfair, years ago I worked permanent night's as a furnace man in a foundry so it was hot day and night :(
but the thing was the neighbourhood kid's playing and screaming ( don't get me wrong kid's need to and should play ) but it made things even harder to sleep.
Now it is not so bad as I only work late's and finsh at 10PM, except for this coming week I have to work day's so need to be up at 5:45AM :( :( :(

Re: Weather
 

14°C, low cloud and drizzle interspersed with heavy showers here in wet, west Scotland.

Someone tell me when summer's coming north ...

Re: Weather
 

Isn't that basically summer for scotland? LOL

Re: Weather
 

Knowing our weather you will probably get summer in late Autumn.

Re: Weather
 

It can come whenever it wants, just so long as it does actually come! Getting a bit fed up with grey skies now, it's been like this for two months.

Re: Weather
 

Seems to be one extreme to the other

A few days ago it was rather chilly, very windy and very wet, today on the other hand, there's very little wind, it's boiling and no clouds.

Apparently it's 21C here, it feels like 30c.

Re: Weather
 

Yes our weather was alright in April and most of May but since then it has been increasingly unsettled and l think the latest forecast is for that next week.

Re: Weather
 

The temp gauge in my car said 32c, and it feels hotter.

A mate of mine is laughing at how cold it is here ATM he's had 55c (in Dubai)

Re: Weather
 

I'm on the computer down stairs. Can't stay in the loft, it's way too hot.

Re: Weather
 

Have a few ice pools as l find they are better for cooling down then some other things.

Re: Weather
 

I bet he has air conditioning though ;)

Re: Weather
 

I always thought you were pretty hot Jo... ;)

Had to retreat from the terrace by the river at the Slug & Lettuce downstairs at 17:00, far too hot!

Re: Weather
 

He may have AC, but I have the better Climate Control in my car:D.

Re: Weather
 

25oC and unfortunately really bright and sunny.

Re: Weather
 

Going to be hotter tomorrow.:erm:

Re: Weather
 

It's down for the same here but more cloudy tomorrow

Re: Weather
 

Nearly 11:30pm and it's still baking :(

I hate summer.

Re: Weather
 

It's just gone 4am and the outside temp gauges here at work are reading 18°c, and we are getting a cool breeze off the Humber :/

Gonna be moist one in me sheets today..

Re: Weather
 

Yes it was humid last night and l could not get to sleep.

Re: Weather
 

Bring on the snow!

Re: Weather
 

Is it bad that I managed to sleep fine last night; and I still have the winter duvet on my bed LOL

10 am and around 24*c

Re: Weather
 

My room was at nearly 30c last night. I find it best to sleep around 18c.

I'm going to get the fan out tonight.

Re: Weather
 

I must be cold blooded then :erm: LOL

My room is always around 22 - 23 year round, even though it doesn't have a radiator in it (got taken out for never being used) just seems to soak up the sun


Also just hit 26*c outside. it's only half 10!!

Its going to be ridiculous this evening.

Re: Weather
 

What another December type month like we had last year.;)

Re: Weather
 

Pah, in glorious Belfast it's a balmy 13c :Sun:

Re: Weather
 

o_o Really?

Re: Weather
 

Yep positively tropical :Sun:

Re: Weather
 

Re: Weather
 

Thats too warm for me and it has just started raining where we are.

Re: Weather
 

Blue skies and temperature climbing

Re: Weather
 

26C here is Manchester.

I have just noticed that the East of England has a Met Office warning in place for later today with predictions of heavy rain, hail and possible flash flooding.

Re: Weather
 

31c currently in London

Re: Weather
 

It's now warmed up to 15c. I need an ice cream.
:Sun:

Re: Weather
 

29 1/2*c and its just started raining waiting for a thunderstorm to start :D

Re: Weather
 

Just hit 34c in London, this country is either too hot or too cold.

Re: Weather
 

15C and cloudy here in ML4 (Bellshill SE of Glasgow)

Re: Weather
 

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2011/06/15.png

Cloudy but the temperatures still raising.

Strangely i'm not feeling it anymore

Re: Weather
 

Possibly cos the humidity's going down?

Re: Weather
 

This was not the day to be surveying houses and having to climb into roofspaces :(

Re: Weather
 

27C and slightly overcast - lovin' it!

Re: Weather
 

17 and breezy in darkest Cheshire. Just need it to drop another couple of degrees and it'll make for a nice comfortable rehearsal this evening. No fun being stuck in a small-ish windowless room with no aircon when it's 20 odd degrees outside.

Re: Weather
 

A balmy and sticky 24C here in my part of the West Midlands

Re: Weather
 

It's probably mid 20's here today (Near Winchester)

my scale of temperatures
below 10C = cold
10 - 20 = cool
20 -30 = warm
30+ = hot

I like it hot as long as the humidity stays low. A civilised climate would never drop below 20C.

Re: Weather
 

How hot have we been then?

Re: Weather
 

Agreed

Re: Weather
 

I run a permanent temperature at least a couple of degrees above average so guess I am more sensitive to hot weather but my ideal world would have daytime temp of 23C with nights dropping down below 12C. Oh and any rain must fall between 2am - 4am with any daytime clouds being of the small white fluffy variety.

Re: Weather
 

Yesterday: forecast of possible heavy showers. Take rain jacket to work. Result: dry all day.
Today: forecast of possible heavy showers. Forget to take rain jacket to work. Result: thunder, lightning and stair rods. Hope it clears by the time I have to walk to the station!

Still, at least the temperature and humidity have improved.

Re: Weather
 

Its just overcast and warm here today.

Also stupidly low humidity for england atm
https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2011/06/3.png
It's rare to see it below 70% in the west-mids

Re: Weather
 

Cloudy but bright here ... 17 degrees, quite a scorcher compared to recent weeks.

I'm off out to clean the windows. The outdoor jobs have been fairly piling up lately. The grass needs cutting as well, but the lawn is such a swamp right now I'm going to have to leave it at least until the weekend.

Re: Weather
 

I don't envy you; our old house had just under 1/4 acre of lawns, but due to the house being old the stone walls surrounding it were listed so you could only get a push mower to them; took a good 2 hours to do the front and back gardens!

Re: Weather
 

No such considerations here ... lots of lawn to do but lots of petrol to power the mower also :D

The windows are the worse job, we have a lot of bats in the walls and they make a bit of a mess of the windows throughout the summer.

Re: Weather
 

Rumbling thunder for about 3 hours today in Worthing, had a breif powerspike which shut off the TV and media player when we were watching Lord of the rings, grr :P

And it's hot/humid, if only I could move to Scotland.

Re: Weather
 

It's now overcast and 16C here with a strong breeze and there have been a few attempt's at rain LOL

Re: Weather
 

I have blue skies and a balmy 20C. French doors open and listening to the neighbours cutting their grass. Very soothing.

Re: Weather
 

Sound's Perfect Jo :)

Re: Weather
 

Well it would be if I could move the lump Riley off my knee so that I could get up a make a cup of tea. I haven't the heart to disturb him as the warmth has had all the insects out to-day and being the big fearless hunter has fair worn him out. :D

Did you know that Bluebottles crunch, no? well they do when our Riley finishes them of after first giving them a nice suck. YUk YUK YUK

Re: Weather
 

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww lol, Well when Riley let's You up can I have two sugars in mine Please lol

Re: Weather
 

Yuk that sounds disgusting. Do you not have a turn in your stomach after watching him eating the blue bottles?

Re: Weather
 

I know i'm bumping an old thread but this summer is turning in to something quite remarkable.

So much sunshine over the past 2 months and looks like there's no end in sight. 28C already up here this morning when most summers we're lucky to get over 20C, it's glorious.

Could do with a day or two of rain though as the grass is starting to go very brown but doesn't seem like that's going to happen for at least a week.

Re: Weather
 

The weather in Glasgow is crazy hot right now. Expected to reach 32 degrees today.

Re: Weather
 

Yep - an occasional thunderstorm would be good - during the work day so not to spoil the weekend.

Re: Weather
 

1976?

Re: Weather
 

Indeed it was a fantastic summer that year. Mind it was back in the day when it seemed that winters were cold, summer was hot, autumn was cool and spring was mild. You knew what to expect or am I misremembering :D

Re: Weather
 

That was the best year ever.
Especially around March.

Re: Weather
 

No you are right as the generally knew the seasons were more predictable then which one cannot say is the same case now.

---------- Post added at 16:09 ---------- Previous post was at 16:08 ----------

You obviously have a memory like a elephant.;)

Re: Weather
 

I am guessing that 1976 was a vintage year for Love Monkey births. :)

Re: Weather
 

:)

Re: Weather
 

It was 28c in my office at 7:30 this morning.

Our building as 1 ft thick walls so absorb any heat and radiates it into the building.

Re: Weather
 

Our area is a heat island. Apparently due to the surrounding red bricks that catch and release heat. So when the forecasts say 30c we easily get 35c+.

And we have been. And it was OK until today when humidity spiked for some reason.

---------- Post added at 20:59 ---------- Previous post was at 20:57 ----------

1976, I remember all the UK newspapers gong on "Phew! What a scorcher!" whilst I was serving with the RAF in Cyprus where it was consistently 10c hotter. And often more.

Re: Weather
 

Just did 10K interval on the treadmill at the gym and had a quick swim. Probably sweated less than I would have in the garden. It’s still 26 out here.

Re: Weather
 

Its 25.4C where Im sitting right now.

I remember 1976 well, I was at school, and boy was it hot in those classrooms.

Re: Weather
 

Phew! What a scorcher: We've just hit 29C in the shade on the North side of the house. Hoping for a sea breeze to kick in.

Re: Weather
 

There will be no change throughout July l hear in your neck of the woods.:Sun::Sun::Sun::Sun:

Re: Weather
 

I'm not complaining Den. After the last two so so summers we're quite looking forwards to endless barbecuing. :D

Re: Weather
 

I think this weather is wonderful and hope it stays this way as it makes a change for the kids having their school summer holidays in the sunshine :)

Re: Weather
 

It has been 28c in my office at work every morning since Wednesday at 7:30am.


I've been to a car show today and boy was it hot.

Re: Weather
 

The amount of allotment watering is slowly killing me. Praying to the rain Gods.....

Re: Weather
 

You might have to say your prayers for a good time yet Mr K.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/outlook

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44687564

Re: Weather
 

Well I pray to the God who reigns. Bit cloudy here today and temperature right down. I like it hot and sunny but not the humidity that besets us in the UK when it is hot.

Also our houses are built for the heat, we like to keep heat in not out and we don't have vernadas (stoeps) around our houses where we can sit outside in the shade which would be nice.

Finally "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" is all too true - don't complain about not being able to dig your garden in the afternoon - get up earlier, do the work in the morning, then siesta in the heat of the day and finish off later. If we are having med style weather, switch as you can to a med style time table.

Re: Weather
 

The trouble is, our God who reigns isn't letting it rain!

Nonetheless, your advice is very sound, apart from the bit that assumes praying actually works!

Re: Weather
 

We have a God that reigns? Try telling that to the aetheists and agnostics also those of other religions who have different Gods.

Re: Weather
 

I hope we get a break in the warm weather soon and get some rain. It's been weeks now.

Re: Weather
 

As long as the rain is at night, I dont mind a bit.

Re: Weather
 

This I fully agree with!

Re: Weather
 

That smell though when it's been hot for ages and not rained.... then first drops of rain fall...
