Hosepipe ban would be irrelevant to me as of grid ,a wise investment on my part ,lol
And living at 8000m asl it must be nice and fresh up there. If this summer weather continues much longer your house could become a very busy place indeed

Been using generic cetrizine and also loratadine (latter works best early in season, former once the grass pollen gets going).
This is the first year when neither have worked well for whatever reason. Resorted to also combining the tablet with smearing petrolatum around the front and inside the nose. Kids find it hilarious and the shiny nose looks a bit silly but past caring as it does make a good difference in stopping the worst of the sneezing.
Going to be a hot day here, already up to 20C and unbroken sunshine. Bit more of a breeze would be nice as the flies are swarming round humans and animals alike, no clegs (yet....).
The clegs are coming absolutely horrendous in the trossachs just now .it's usally the midges that are the worst but this year it's the ninja like clegs that's biting

The all time irish temperature record of 33.3c must be in danger of getting beat if those charts become reality .

I think anyone who was out on loch lomond this afternoon may have had to run for cover as that thunderstorm drifted down by Ben lomond .
I could see several cloud to ground strikes and plenty of thunder in the air all in all a perfect summer's day after maxing out at 23.4c
Looking at the medium range forecast it looks like summer is going to get started proper next week

Another lovely summer like day here in the trossachs early mist is burning off temp up to 22.2c
As other people have been saying yesterday's storms were so localised that even though there was constant thunder for at least 4hrs i only recorded 6mm of rain yet not even 2 miles away flash flooding occurred.
Thank you for showing some concern Daniel about how Scottish summers usually go but as long as the sun keeps shinning I'll remain positive you just never know what happens next

Don't know about anyone else but to me 2018 has got to be the best year so far for a weather enthusiast

Winter 17/18 continues into day 169 with a max temp of 2.7c and sleet on and off through out the day
I really think that we are going to pay for such a good winter when the dreaded midges wake up for the spring cold and very hungry

10.5c at Leuchars this afternoon, although was breezy enough to take the edge off the temperature.
Start of my Rob Roy Way walk looking okay weather wise at the weekend....will obviously have to keep an eye on what’s happening next week. Will try and keep you updated (phone signal permitting).
Phone signal should not be a problem in and around the Aberfoyle area with the installation of a new phone mast this week. we now have 2g ?

It has certainly been a consistent cool to cold, we've not hit 10C since the end of January. Contrast this with last March and only 12 days failed to hit 10C or more.
I see the 12z ECM is sticking with a cold theme, I might even see some proper snow for a change:
I recorded 11.3c here on Tuesday afternoon I've never known that kind of temperature to feel so warm . Just goes to show how good a winter/early spring it has been from a cold perspective .

Yip, wild here too! Had to give in and shut the front door....apparently not everyone in the house appreciates the snow ?
Haha
When I was younger my parent's were always going mental at me for opening the doors in the house (close the door your letting all the heat out ) living in a house built in 1890s it actually felt like I was letting some heat in.
And to realise life has come full circle I actually used the very same phrase for my daughter the other day .could not believe those words came out my mouth oh the shame

Doesn’t sound too severe a forecast certainly not enough to warrent a red warning ⚠️
To be fair it's only hesaid yousaid the transport minister that's saying it might be a red warning. Maybe a politician in covering their arses shocker

O.k now i get it how the east coast contingent feel when snow is forecast from the west
Any chance of sending some over to us snow starved westerners it's been nearly 2 weeks since the last fall

Lot's of concern it seems because what was forecast to happen has happened...
- Has it got cold enough that any PPN falls as snow....tick
- Are we seeing lumps of snow rather than frontal snow..tick
- Is most of the PPN lasting across all counties already...unexpected tick
This means some areas will get lots, some won't. No apps can pick it up because they are so small it's effectively random. However the more there are the more chance we all get some over time. Just need patience.
Have you thought about changing your name to ticktabs only joking. I reallyhope you guy's get some snow 5years without snow that's pretty grim

Morning everyone what a beautiful day (again) hopefully these blue skies are a sign of things to come this summer We're long overdue a good one.anyway it looks like an interesting week ahead I'm not expecting much snow over here in west stirlingshire but you never know .I can't complain it's been a good winter snow wise here in the trossachs without any deep freeze.
I'd just like to add that @Mr Frost your voice of reason over in the mad thread is most welcome good luck in trying to bring stability into that area. some more good posts and the Nobel prize maybe heading your way .

Better stick to this thread, many of the posts in the model thread are mostly SE England related as if the rest of UK don’t exist. Someone in there said that Scotland won’t do very well lol. Perth will do very well in my opinion so have yer shovel ready
I thought I read that as well but was is not in the general sports thread?

Liking the look of Tuesday morn
Ideally christopher blanchett is indicating the size of stick you'll need to measure snow
Nope he was out with sean batty last night i think he's suggesting the measurement of something totally of topic

Just an observation as at the moment as it's outside the range of this thread, but this evening's ecm is indicating some very wild and wet conditions next week with some deep Atlantic lows flying around. Will look a little closer tomorrow as it sure doesn't look like I'll be going anywhere.
I hope you won't be going anywhere knocker this thread would fall apart if it wasn't for your input .
I've got to say that it's been a been a good addition to the forum this year .when the charts that are getting posted are probably going to happen 95% of the time .
Just a thought that maybe we could rename this thread (knockers woodshed thread) only joking hope you keep up the good work.?
