After 35 years I deserve a break. Few spots of rain.

Did she survive the night?

[Charltonkerry]

Did she survive the night?

Yes she did, thanks. But I think I might have to come up with another cunning plan, lightening strike can't be guaranteed. She has requested a cruise that we booked, the room is very luxurious and has a lovely balcony, butler will make the g&t's so that an argument solved, just wonder how high the balcony is :-) and can my shoulder be relied upon. I suppose I shouldn't really be that nasty as she had to put up with me for 35 years as well, and to be fair, I think she had the worse of the deal, ummm, thinking about it perhaps, dodgy shoulder and knees, butler, g&t's, recent increase in my insurance, and she's been watching a lot of Miss Marple's lately, perhaps its me that got to watch out :-)Some big old clouds floating about, nice and fresh out there and humidity seem to be lower, loads of insects out and about in the garden today, with a few bumble bees and a dragon fly being the noticeable ones.

Nice day here, sunny spells, some convective cloud passing by and a fresh breeze, currently 24C.

Rain eased now but sky looking quite menacing at present

Hi tom

Sorry tried a sneaky one :-)

[Eskimo]

First day in 3 weeks where the air has felt 'pleasant' and not humid and sticky!

[terryall]

Quick downpour then 5 mins break and just started again. Presume no activity other than rain today?

it is nice isnt it

[Bluebreezer54]

Definately a different feel to the weather here today and despite being mostly cloudy, the temperature still reached a respectable 24c.

[Jax]

hitting the mid twenties here too.

[Bluebreezer54]

Within 10 minutes of my last post the clouds have parted like the Red Sea and blue skies abound

[Methuselah]

An almost perfect (it's a bit too breezy) summer's evening: dry, sunny and 24.2C...

[Eskimo]

Could be an area of heavy (perhaps thundery somewhere) rain moving across the south during Tuesday afternoon. 

[Anvils in the Sky]

Been in Mote Park in Maidstone with family for much of today. And what a pleasant afternoon, weatherwise. FAR less humidity than we've become accustomed to, sunshine and cumulus, and very refreshing breeze. A text-book English summer's day really!

 

I notice a few members closer to London reported a shower earlier on. Could see it right out on the western horizon. It moved northwards - so no rushing for cover necessary for us park-goers!

 

Back home it's currently 23.6°, and the remaining clouds are rapidly disintegrating. Long may this continue (with the odd thunderstorm thrown in, of course!)

[Croydondazz]

Nice and sunny now i had enough time to jet spray patio

[Anvils in the Sky]

I notice some electrical activity over Caen (again!), which seems to be heading NE'wards. I also notice the Met Office forecast for the SE mentions "heavy, possibly thundery showers" moving across the region this evening. Dare I get my hopes up?!
