[Steve C]

I can guarantee if ever the MK storm shield is going to break it'll do it between the first and tenth of August

I'm sure your holiday will more than make up for that.

[Kent Snow]

A fairly decent day after a damp and drizzly start. Currently 20C, with hazy sunshine.

[Guest archiesmummy]

It ain't 'arf warmed-up now though? 20C!

HBPS!

Yes it actually felt muggy this afternoon, just a light drizzly shower tho, hope 2moro is better tho, got washing to do!

It's all rock and roll here!

[Snowangel-MK]

I'm sure your holiday will more than make up for that.

Oh yes...it certainly will

[Jason T]

Happy B day PS. Have a cracking time MK, Bring our summer back.

[Snowangel-MK]

Have a cracking time MK, Bring our summer back.

Thanks Jason, I will certainly try to bring some sunshine back with me to keep the tan topped up

Hmmm,Not sure if anyone else has noticed this,But some of tree leafs appear to be turning already.?

Noticed the conker trees are turning but thats mainly down to a mite eating away at the leaves, been plagueing the UK for a while.

Only the horse chestnuts, but that is due to bleeding canker not an early autumn - sadly about 50% of the conker trees seem to be affected with this disease when you look closely at the leaves they are riddled with a rash of small rust-coloured pockmarks which from a distance give the appearance of the leaves turning brown !

PS beat me to it - but here is a picture to show you what it looks like ....

For many years I've been aware of horse chestnuts' leaves changing colour first, so I'm never surprised when I see it. Didn't realise it was caused by a disease though!

[john pike]

[Mesoscale]

[Keraunic]

Morning each from bright but overcast Ipswich. Ugh! What a week. Hope things liven up soon one way or the other. Hope everyone ok and having a decent week.

[Steve C]

Morning all.

Sunny spells with mid level cloud here. Earlier the sky had that unstable look you sometimes get on a summer's morning before storms later (altocumulus castellanus etc.)

Nothing dramatic forecast here mind you. Maybe that instability will be reserved for the near continent? but I'll be watching for any developments later.

[Kent Snow]

A mainly dry day with a few light showers just after lunch. Maximum 22C and currently sunny.
