Sorry but so far this summer we have had about a week of nice weather. The rest has been crap. Just my opinion of course, but I'll never find cloud and 18C warm or remotely pleasant. I love sunshine and we in Britain have always seen too little of it but this year has taken the p**s big time. Very depressing. Doesn't have to be hot! 24C (ie. average July temps here) and blue skies would be fine but even that has been a massive struggle.
Agreed, even as a coldie I feel robbed if we don't see a satisfactory amount of sunny 24'c days during our Summer months, if only to dry out all the damp areas of the garden that build up during the winter - kill off some of that moss in the lawn.
Just my hunch, I'm sure the facts will prove me wrong, but I feel we see better days in September than July and August, but with the added benefit of crisper, chilly mornings, which aren't everyone's cup of tea obviously.
We're about to enter the very worst part of summer IMO - the month of the house spiders

Most people I know have enjoyed the weather over the past 2-3 days.
I've literally met no-one who has said they've enjoyed it, are all your friends lizards?
Walking around yesterday lunchtime the heat was absolutely fierce down here in that London - stifling
The weekend is looking much more sensible!

you training or driving?
driving may be marginally better today if you have aircon as i think the schools are off so the roads should be a tad quieter

Morning all
Aircon roaring away here, shame work doesn't have any!

Blue skies, light winds and 28C currently, wonderful. 6 more weeks of this please!
try 2 more days
on the plus side though, you can probably literally "embrace" the heat by going outside and wrapping your arms around the humid air
i might petition HR tomorrow for Spanish-style Siestas for when the heat is over 26'c
a nice cool, dewy Summer's morning on the cards Saturday, perfect for golf

Embrace the heat I suggest if only we got a more lengthy spell after a while you adapt to it somewhat not sure why folk are blabbering on for it makes for a nice change.
Not sure why folk are blabbering on about "embracing" the heat
Too hot for golf, sleeping difficult, workplace stifling.....
Sunny and 22'c is adequate

An absolute humdinger has just finished over Heathrow, all departures have been cancelled for the last hour or so.
Probably the fiercest storm I can remember living around here

Thought it had gone quiet! Last plane that went over our house was about twenty minutes ago and I was thinking blimey an inch of snow and the airport is still managing to operate...almost unheard of LOL (Sorry if your an airport worker only joking!!)
Haha no, just a local to the area. I think any takeoffs will be 09R, which will be over Hounslow towards London
Probably a quiet night for us to the West of the airport

A few inches here at Heathrow, still snowing heavy. Looks like we are half way through the band of snow on the radar
Heathrow Airport is still open, but it's pretty chaotic at the moment.
I'm listening to the Ground frequency and it sounds like they are using both runways for arrivals, and departing aircraft are being held. Pilots are saying they are missing their "holdover times", which is the window that anti-icing is valid for, and having to return to the gate to be de-iced again, only to go back in a departure queue.........
wink wink etc
