    FIRST THUNDER AND LIGHTENING
  2. tadpole
    No thunder or lightening here yet, but do have some decent rain, which is great for the trees and wildlife.
  3. tadpole
    Very light rain here, most disappointing.

    Well I've tried very hard to make it rain here today and failed. I've painted the shed door, washed the car, put washing out to dry and watered the garden-twice. All I've had is a dark cloud pass over. After having been up half the night watching distant lightening and listening to distant thunder I feel miffed.

    Have rain too now and more lightening and thunder but sounds further away this time

    Thunder and lightening but no rain
  7. tadpole
    Thought next door were watering their garden and it was coming over the fence, but no the first few drops of rain, all over and done with in 30 seconds as the cloud moved eastwards.

    Going to be a sleepless night here. Put the thermometer in the bedroom and it's 27.4c

    Dry weather please till 7.30pm as I'm off to Hampton Court flower show tomorrow. After I'm home thunder, lightening and rain would be great.

    What a lovely morning, warm already, sun out and the birds tweeting away. Finally feels like a proper summers day Hope it's lovely too where ever you are today.

    Back from BBQ, only so long you want your parents there for. Stayed dry after 6pm, the sun even came out for a while too. I was impressed with his cooking, but he had a good teacher Toasty around the pit fire at dusk, watching the odd bat fly past. Very nice evening, but it does make you feel old when your kids turn 30!

    Absolutely tipping down again, could turn into ' can 30 people fit in a studio flat without touching each other' The BBQ may be off. Very autumnal out there.

    JP that is music to my son's ears for his birthday BBQ and 30 guests in south east london. He only has a studio flat and the garden is 60' x 40' so plenty of room for everyone.

    Thanks JP I used to look at the BBC daily for forecasts or another weather forum but since I've discovered this forum and your forecasts I look here instead. You're much more reliable, and along with everyone else here, much friendlier

    John can you may the rain vanish please, it my sons 30th birthday next week and 30 for a BBQ on the 15th. He has a small flat and we're not going to fit in it if it rains. If he'd have been born on time (2nd June) would have been lovely this week, he's been late for everything ever since!

    Suffering from shock. It hasn't rained and it's mild and it's even going to be sunny tomorrow and the day after too! (scrap that, JP says might rain Monday) All too much to take in I'm afraid, my body collapsed and my mind is confused, even if it is the first day of summer.
  17. tadpole
    Another nice day, bit more of a breeze, but welcome sun all the same. More gardening done but my back said stop so I did. Hope the netweather 23mm of rain, including torrential apparently, is wrong for tomorrow. Seems a shame after a very pleasant 48 hours.
  18. tadpole
    This is more like it, t-shirt and jeans, pottering in the garden and finishing with a glass of wine, bliss May we have many more like this please.
  19. tadpole
    Gosh I hope you're right. I'm sick to the back teeth of this cold gloomy weather.
  20. tadpole
    The coldest for 50 years in England, or since I was born in '62.
  21. tadpole
    My son's going camping tomorrow for a weekend music festival, at least he'll be able to spot the soggy patches in the field by time he pitches his tent in the afternoon. Hope it stays dry Sat/sun. The cold he doesn't mind, it's being wet and cold he hates.

    The only plus point to being a woman of a certain age is occasional hot flushes = built in central heating. Having said that I've always preferred a cool bedroom and so too does hubby. No heating at all in the bedrooms when we were children and we were fine, it's only really since the 70's that it's common. The human race got this far without having heated bedrooms. My thermostat is set to come on at 14c and off at 18c in the living room. The bedroom rad only goes on if the temp is below 12c. It was around 18c today, doubt anyone had their heating on, nor would need it as warm as that before they could sleep Unless one is older/elderly or immobile most people would be fine at 18c in their home and much less in the bedroom with a good warm duvet. I'd rather spend my money on travelling or doing something than give the gas companies our hard earned cash.
  23. tadpole
    12c-- warm enough not to freeze and cool enough to sleep.
  24. tadpole
    If netweather's 10 day forecast is right for me then next Thurs,Fri,Saturday at 25c feel like will do just fine
  25. tadpole
    Well my heating's on, and no, I'm not an OAP yet but not far off, yes I am active, I'm skinny so no natural fat insulation and live in a bit of a 3/4 detached single brick thick building. Thermostat set to come on at 14c in the living room and go off at 18c. I don't think that's unreasonable. And if it's a rainy sort of autumn feel to the evening then I have a coal/wood fire too. A neighbour near me lives in a small terraced 2 bed modern house and it stays toasty warm for many more months of the year than mine without heating. So everyone's situation is different. And I'm back in thermals again too
