[Hairy Celt]

13C and full sun currently on the north coast, after a thick foggy start. Promise of heavy rain later...

[mistyqueen]

Yesterday, horizontal rain. Today, wall to wall sunshine!   More please!

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Started the day at 3C with a grass frost! Didn't really improve in brightness and feeling pretty cool at 13C now.

[Northernlights]

Sunny start to day not too cool at 6c but tended to cloud over later with some sunny intervals and a top temperature of 16c.Combine back to finish last fields of barley in the afternoon so the gales can come in a few days once everyone else has finished. A few photos

 

Not so obvious in photos but straw  and grain is a much more golden colour than last  year when it was completely bleached by "Bertha"

Pleasent enough day although did cloud over eventually. Maybe less cloud tomorrow who knows

It's an utterly glorious morning here, a cool start at 7am with my weather station reading 4.1ºC but lovely clear blue skies earlier on today (9am-ish out walking the dogs):

 

 

A few more clouds around now but still a gorgeous day. Feels fresh, but nice in the sun and little or no breeze for a change. Massive difference from the pouring drizzle on Monday.

How is this for a cloud?

Absolutely stunning start to the day here, wall to wall sunshine, no wind and 13'C.

+0.4C recorded at Loch Glascarnoch by MO and +1.2C in Borders

I know they're not official but the HighlandWeather stations such as Oykell Bridge have got down to similarly low temperatures over the last week, the slow change very much setting in.

Last but one field of straw baled up this afternoon ,last one grain ripe but straw geen so will have to let it wilt. A nice sunny morning with a high of 16c turned into a cloudy afternoon with a bit of drizzle late pm  followed by steady rain all evening. Currently 11c. Next suitable straw baling day seems to be Sunday afternoon.

Despite how threatning the cloud looked when the sun was going down (those showers we're advancing) we missed all of them

Morning campers! Yet another stunning day ahead up here. The Indian summer has well and truly arrived! Cool at the moment but once the sun gets going I think it will turn out to be a very pleasant day.

Same here in the capital - stunning weather"

Really not been that bad a week at all infact on the wider scale of things August wasn't that bad here and September pretty much the same so far. Sun poking through the clouds today too

[Zenarcher]

Nice warm sunny day with 18°C being recorded here.

[NUT]

Foggy out there currently but should clear

[Hawesy]

Beautiful morning with clear blue sunny skies. Currently 14c.

It was a stunning walk with the dogs this morning, the altocumulus (?) was clearing south-east leaving a gorgeous sunny morning.

 

 

That last pic is more or less the view from our house, I've started enjoying living out in the countryside again. When we came home last night from work at about half ten I got out of the car, looked up and said a proper "WAW!" at the stars

First Image there is a cracker Catch, having that for some new wallpaper

 

How is everyone - hope you are enjoying this rather settled September period.

 

Apologies for not being on often over the summer, been rather busy with home life. Out of hibernation now for our Autumn and usual winter shenanigans.

 

Hope everyone is well, have a great weekend !

Fog's gone but the cloud is sticking. Looked like it might be quite warm and sunny today but not quite I guess

[Northernlights]

Great day here too sunny calm and warm although cool with heavy dew first thing. Starting to get a new calf every day .Will try to post a photo later.

[SW Saltire]

Dry but cloudy and uninspiring. Rare spells of sunshine. Max of 16.8c so fairly decent

[Hawesy]

Sunny skies pretty much all day, managed a very respectable 18c.

[SW Saltire]

EDIT: nonsense. My sensor broke just after 11am it would appear (from my computer).

Was very cloudy up in Northern Ayrshire where I was today so I assumed (wrongly) that it was similar here (cloudy apron return).

Apparently it was a great day and very warm, reaching over 19c (apparently).

Sensor fixed for tomorrow, should be a nice day judging by forecasts

[Norrance]

Sunny spells here with a max of 16.7C but feeling warmer in the light SW breeze.
