That literally made me laugh so loud im glad nobody is around to hear me laugh like a complete nut bag!The wasps this year are incredibly annoying, they let themselves into my house and disapear into the cat food pouches! You get quite a shock when one of them flys out at you, they are a very weird colour this year as well they seem to have a darker yellow than usual almost like a mustard colour. I just wish the wasps in the Uk were as tolerant as the wasps I have encountered else were like in Greece the wasps were 10x more abundent but they were very docile and you could swat them away with no problem and out of the 7 people we went there with none of us got stung, also Praying Mantids were quite abundent. Maybe because the area was sparsly populated and there was plenty of food? Also in Florida there were loads Bald Faced Hornets but they never seemed to interact with humans, they just stayed up in the fruit trees.  I dont mind insects just as long as they keep to themselves, the european wasps tend to invade your personal space.Back to the weather, its hot 29c at the moment clear blue skies and the works.

I woke up about 7ish this morning to a brilliantly white bedroom, almost like the days you would wake up to fresh snowfall. It was soo foggy that I could hardly see to the end of my garden it was crazy! 

 

My wasp bite from yesterday on the sole of my foot is still simmering unpleasantly:( To be fair, the three times I have been bitten by wasps in this country were all entirely my fault for being barefoot or picking up a pile of garden clippings - in both situations the wasp inhabitants were quick to make their presence known.

 

Just going hazy here now after a lovely blue sky day, car temperature claimed 31 degs at one point, can't be sure on that though. Need to dig out 'sensible' clothes for tomorrow; hoping for some dry/warmth-ish on Saturday for the final of my birthday get-togethers - last bbq of the year anyone?

made to kilburn at long last. sunny intervals and.hot

Ah welcome to the delights of north west London Captain. No North Sea muck and murk here

[Bluebreezer54]

Play Nice chaps, please!

I don't see anything that suggests we are doing otherwise to be honest Jo. Maybe a lot of posts have been deleted or moderated ?

Scandal?

[Summer Sun]

Confirmed hottest September day since 2006 and right within my prediction - http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/77189-autumn-2013-thoughts-prospects-and-forecasts/?p=2781096

 

 

It's reached 30.4 °C in Frittenden, Kent today. This makes it the hottest September day since 2006

[Gowon]

It's turned cloudy here with some big towers bubbling up to the East of me...

An anvil away to the NNW...Maybe heading for somewhere near Naarwich?

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Hefty cell brewed to the SSE of me and drifted NNE.  No Sferics as yet.

[Captain Shortwave]

[frozencanals]

Evening all

 

The sun has disappeared over SE London, replaced by some threatening cloud formations....  might be in for some of the wet stuff a bit later

[Anvils in the Sky]

Evening all.

 

Second consecutive fabulous day here. (And none of that early morning fog which caused the awful mess on the Sheppey Crossing just a few miles away. I knew it was foggy down there though, as you can normally see the bridge from the top of my road. But just a distant bank of grey this morning. Little did I know what had just happened in that fog. Thank goodness nobody was killed.)

 

Anyway, we reached a max of 28.1 today. Not bad going for 5th September! Could see some reasonably impressive convective towers going up on the western horizon earlier. But they've moved away now. I tell you something though - the lengthening shadows were more apparent than ever today. ("Obviously! Seeing as we're getting closer to the autumnal equinox," I hear some of you cry. But I'm sure you know what I mean!

 

Blitzortung suggesting Norwich is pretty electrical at the moment. Nice.

 

P.S. re: spiders.....ANOTHER huge one in the house this morning. Reading what somebody said yesterday about putting them out the window breaking all their bones, this morning's one was placed GENTLY in the back garden. (I'm sure it followed me back into the house though!)

[Methuselah]

It is, indeed...as Carol Kirkwood (in fishnet stockings of course) might say: 

 

[Bluebreezer54]

Still 26c at 7.30pm, I'm liking that

[NorthNorfolkWeather]

Yep, the cell moving north from Norwich towards Aylsham is proper busy!

Yes it was, just arrived back at home with Fish and Chips, before I could bet out of the car the heavens opened.  My grand daughter took one look at me, laughed and said "You're saturated",

 

7.8 mm of rain in 15 minutes, temperature dropped from 25.8 to 17.3 but climbing again now.

 

Just got the grass cut :-)

[HammerJack]

Good evening cyber friends...

Well we maxed out here at 28c today, and some very high cloud started appearing I knew it was game over. Not that I'm complaining though 😄. Woke up this morning, to what I like to call an autumn winter land, bring nice thick fog, then by lunchtime I was basking in summer wonder land.... Just been out for my nightly 10k run, and it feels very sticky and uncomfortable out there. Oh well got me waterproofs, and jumper ready for the morning..... Oh how I love the British weather, but not the midgets and gnats that have seemed to feasted off me whilst out running.. Current temp 24c. Have a great evening guys ðŸ‘

[john pike]

Sorry. I meant to edit. Not quote 😧

[abruzzi spur]

Has it been nice today, then?

 

Been in the office since 7:30 am and am still here and haven't been out all day!  This is not a healthy way to live....

 

I turned round to look out of the window just now and it's quite dark - made me think, and not in a good way, of arriving in the dark and leaving in the dark!  Grrrr

Very technical JP. But in all honesty, with my very very limited knowledge of even trying to attempt to read fax charts, models etc i could of done a hell of a better job. Here goes 'very cloudy, with rain, heavy and also patchy at times. Feeling cooler' and I can also put some symbols in as well 💦💨. Hehehe
