    Hi DS interesting report but where are you? jh

    morning still raining here, the spray head in my pond is completely submerged. 2 days ago it was about 3 inches above the water surface. Min temp 16.4C, so a more reasonable 'feel' to the air, albeit a wet one if you go out! jh

    hello Moderate rain with 20C at the moment also with the odd flash and rumble and fairly dark. My min temp seems to have been confirmed with at least 4 RAF weather stations in the region recording the highest night min since the 2nd world war!

    hi I'll probably get my knuckles rapped but never mind. If you all want to see why you are getting the weather you are this morning, then try the site below, if you have not already found it! http://www.net-weather.co.uk/forum/viewtop...opic.php?t=8487 Yes by Paul our host, its quite superb and will get better he promises. If anyone is not sure about which picture is which, and showing what, then if Paul is busy I don't mind trying to explain. jh

    morning An unbelievable min temp of 21.0C, that has to be a record for this part of the world. I've never had one that high and looking at the Finningley records their highest min was in August 1990 with 19.2C. Very unpleasant so not much sleep last night. Currently dropped to 19.7C with slight rain and overcast. jh

    hello Reached 30.6C so the highest this year and only 0.3C behind the highest last year of 30.9C on 6th August. jh
  11. johnholmes

    hello Started the morning with low cloud cover and misty but already blue skies and temperature near 24C jh
  17. johnholmes
    Hello At 8pm the temp was still 24C, I would imagine its not often that value is seen at that time of the evening around here. The max today was 29.1C, the 2nd highest this year, after 8th June. Lovely sitting out on the patio with a glass of wine! jh
  18. johnholmes
    hi Not much in way of ts here but temps deserve a mention over the past few days. Today is the 3 rd day already this month to exceed 25C, altogether 6 in the last 10 days. 2003 figures were 6 in July and 8 in August. The mean temp for the 1st five days is 19.6C(16.1C monthly long term avge) jh
  19. johnholmes
    hello From 3 miles sse of doncaster, my its getting dark early this evening. No lightning yet or rain but distant rumbles of thunder away to South and SSE. Seems reasonable as I watered the pot plants about 2 hours ago. jh

    hello Reached 27.9C in spite of much cloud around this afternoon. That is the 3rd highest this year and the highest since 8th June. Not had any storm but its showered since about 1850. Fits both Met radar and their forecast this morning warning of storms/showers setting off over the Pennines and moving NNE. jh
  23. johnholmes
    hello when i published my max figs for june it had an absolute max of 30.2C on 8th. I said I would check this when the COL figs came out. Now out and both stations close by me each showed max temps within 0.3-0.5C of me. Doncaster must have been a little heat island on that day. jh
  24. johnholmes
