And so my long wait continues to even hear thunder this summer, let alone see any lightning flashes! Wouldn't surprise me if this is yet another summer where I fail to see or hear either knowing my luck
But on the other hand by the time next week rolls in we'll also be one week closer to the start of next summer, which hopefully includes multiple plumes lol
I hear the July record has been broken with a 36.7 at Heathrow, still time for that to climb yet as well.
According to all the wunderground stations near me it's currently 30c here, plenty warm enough, Heathrow is welcome to that 36c!
Just goes to show what you know I guess, or don't! 36.7 at Heathrow, all new July record and it's still only mid afternoon so that could climb even higher.
Don't agree at all with the party being all over by mid August, the end of August 2013 still had very pleasant warm days, which carried over into the first few days of September that year.
Hate the good damn weather sometimes, literally 5 minutes before the red arrows were due to start their display, low cloud/sea fog decided to roll in and they couldn't display.
Damn annoying these blue skies won't last into the weekend for the airshow here, at least Sunday is looking better than tomorrow so the red arrows should get to perform a decent display on one day at least.
Shame we can't have warm muggy nights like this for the whole summer, it's great being sat out in the garden this time of night and it's still very warm!
Here's hoping for some thunder and lightning later too.
My area is slap bang in the middle of the area Ian gave for the strongest gusts of wind, we shall see, if it's blowing a hoolie out there in the early hours it'll probably wake me up as I'm a light sleeper.
Sounds like weather heaven to me, especially the no wind & no rain bit, I'm not bothered about whether it's a cloudy high or if day & night time temps are similar, I would take that weather setup over wet and windy conditions any day of the week.
Disagree with that, doesn't need to be proper deep cold at all, we certainly didn't have that in march '06 but still had lying snow here from a north westerly but I'm looking forward to spring now & here's hoping some of the charts showing high pressure just to s/se of the uk are on the ball.
