  1. My lame(ish) records show that so far max daytime temperatures in my location for September is actually 1.7c higher than August! :rolleyes:

    Only three days for September (so far) have been below 20c (68f) with the lowest "only" been 18c on the 2nd compared with the 9 days in August which were below 20c (68f).

    Of course this is only for my location so it may be different for each individual but it's still interesting to compare!

  3. Whoa, had one bang about 10 mins ago, must have been real close - shook the whole damn house. Had to rush down to comfort the dog, poor thing must have nearly had a heart attack!!

    lol, I nearly had a heart attack with one of those 'ole bangs! :o Yeah a great night for T.storms here, managed to catch some on camera and although the quality wasnt great it will be worth watching again :o

  6. It is quite common that CET values can stir up quite a debate, mainly due to the fact that these sort of statistics can be viewed at any angle in any different light. The discussion here is whats more remarkable, the fact that a month with such synopotics (i read that word so many times yet am never sure of the spelling!) associated with below average temps can produce a month with more or less average figures, or the 3.6c drop in CET from July to August. To me that was the biggest shock of the summer, but such a drastic change in temperature between months is all apart of the changing weather and temperature. The fact that we got a average month with "cold" synopotics (sp?) is not a suprise either when this rather feels like a common occurance in the rare event that a month is "average" temperature wise.

  7. It's about time factors other than economics came into consideration when developers make decisions. We need renovation of derelict sites in the North and improvement of job opportunities so that people aren't forced to demand housing in the SE because of all the employment and facilities being there.

    I'm certainly with what you are saying TWS, thinking about what can make people decide to stay north rather than move south would help the imbalance and thus reduce the percieved housing demands here. Also I think urban re-development should be a factor well worth considering everywhere in the country.

  8. Yes, its a sad fact that a lot of individual issues and needs are seen wrongly in my view more important than our natural landscape. Like down here in the SE they are apparently proposing 500,000 more new "homes" (a lot on greenbelt and AONB I suspect). I know theres a population increase but why exactly the government feel the need to take such drastic and crass measures I do not know. I think much more effort should be done to preserve our natural beauty sites... at one stage parakeets were living in London.
