Currently 22.4C here with some high cloud around, muggy indoors so got the windows open trying to get some of the cooler breeze to cool the place down, not that its really working!

Will be interesting to see if there are any storms around these parts tonight, I don't remember the last time I saw a night time storm!

89F/31.7c here now, about the same as yesterday but the lack of breeze is making it feel very hot indeed. Forecast high today 98F (37c) and 103F (39c) tomorrow so I ain't seen nothing yet! The air con works though, that's the main thing!

I managed 25.0C in spite of quite a lot of cloud, mostly Sc variants, some small Cu once the St of the early morning had burnt off. So the 4th consecutive day of 25.0C or more.

A summery spell?

Nah just a blip some would have

Has been very warm and sunny here today, and not with the strong breeze we had been warned about. Approx 24C this afternoon after a lot of cloud shrouded the sun but without ant affect on the temperature. Warm and sunny until about an hour ago when the change in the weather was very apparent looking to the west. Much thicker stratus is now coming through and dulling the evening - no decent sunset for us today.

But how nice it was to get some proper August weather albeit for just two days - it's the best August has produced round here for years!

Nice thunder storm here at the moment, A few lighting strikes.
