Hello all, I can't find any discussion apart from one comment (see quote here)... ...about the movement of scientific writers away from Twitter. I'm aware of numerous people congregating on Mastodon, not so much in other places, but does anyone have any decent people to follow on other platforms? I do follow a few interesting people on Mastodon, but they're mostly astronomy and physics people. I've seen little in the way of meteorological chat apart from finding this link above.

My house is well-insulated.

My water butt is empty, it's almost too warm to sleep already without keeping the curtains shut all day, and two foxes were fighting in the street outside my window at 4am today. Humph.

I got an aerial pole as vizzy suggested above.

Slightly delayed in implementation, but I finally got an Ecowitt WS2910 installed in the back garden. You can find me as the easternmost of the two datapoints on WoW in Musselburgh.

And still awaiting any hurricanes to potentially shake things up a bit.

Been a blessed relief today here with the wind turning to the north-east. Cloud came over in the late afternoon, and with a bit of luck, temperatures in the teens will persist until tomorrow afternoon.

I was thinking my guess of nearly 41° was being a bit silly. Might be bob on, what's the prize? EDIT: 'Sokay, I looked up the original post.

Oddly enough, I used to love a really hot shower when I lived in an Australian summer. Not sure why.

Here to show my support. If it gets much above 20°C, I'm not particularly happy. It's currently 25°C in this room, and I'm not enjoying it at all. Fingers crossed the cloud will hang around tomorrow and keep a lid on things here. Takes a couple of days to get fresh air through the place when it arrives too...

40.9°C, Essex 18th.

Had all the windows open again today as it was warmer outside than in! Now hit a nice 19 degrees again, and hopefully will stay at that level over the next few days.

I'm starting to get stern looks from across the living room.

I much prefer a text-based page. Lots of images reduces the information density and makes it harder for me to find things.

Comfy nights of sleep, able to work without choosing between sitting in the dark or frying. Sounds good to me.
