Scotland Weather discussion

[Norrance]

Just back from a shortish cycle run that had the sweat pouring off me. Triggered my covid cough too unfortunately.

Muggy in hazy sun at 22.6C.

Direct hit  Somehow no thundery activity in it but a beefy looking shelf cloud was setting up on the leading edge 

[Puffy MacCloud]

Sunny this morning but cooler in the breeze induced draught through the ward; cloudier, hotter and more humid this afternoon and now cooler again as the rain starts.

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Some decent downpours in Glasgow this evening.

 

EDIT: It nearly always bloody rains in Glasgow as you all know but this is a different, refreshing, end of summers day rain which is pleasant to listen to.

Third really humid day sunny breezy and currently 19c. Fine if you are washing sheds inside but not good to work in outside. Crops surging on but a bit restricted by lack of moisture.  Should be an early harvest  if weather plays ball.

Glorious but windy in Falkirk 

[dryfie]

Thunderstorm Lockerbie 1450.  One rumble per minute, not that loud.  Violent rain with gusty wind.

[mardatha]

Thunder lightning and tropical cloudburst last night. Street turned into a brown river. Had one or two intense showers today as well, and the sun feels hot.

[NUT]

Just about avoided all the showers here today (last night was quite wet) all in all a very useable and warm day

A mix of sunny and cloudy spells here, feeling pretty warm with occasional blustery blusters. Blistering barnacles but no thundering typhoons.

I felt the soil under the dense potato canopy and it's like slightly damp dust despite me watering every other evening. Must up my game!

[Hawesy]

@Kirkcaldy Weather Rumbles of thunder with the current shower passing over Pittenweem. We’ve only had 10mm of rain this month so nice to catch a shower.

Don't know about any thunder or lightning but I had a tropical cloudburst and I'll raise you a helicopter landing outside the window last night.

Cooler day but dry with a stiff breeze. Much more comfortable in the low teens, temperature-wise.

[Hairy Celt]

Looks rather more like rain incoming this afternoon than it has for several days....

[Northernlights]

Another really diagreeable day with an almost gale force southerly wind.Need it to rain to drop this wind and we may get some showers if they can cross the mountains.Currently 20c

Good we got spring barleys final fungicide spray plus trace element  done yesterday.Cutting another batch of hay  this week to see if  we can make it  rain this week.

I've just had the hose out to try and force the rain to come north. Might be working but it's clutching at straws.

[Kirkcaldy Weather]

One of the clearest warm sector's I've seen modelled in quite a while 

[Ravelin]

Plants are taking a battering again today in a blustery wind. Cooler than of late and certainly feeling so in the wind. 

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Am I right in remembering that the early 2010 mid-summers were mainly like this? 2012 sticks out but possibly 2011/13 as well? Definitely has a similar feel to it. I think late July into August tended to pick up in the main, although one of those years we got a proper big Atlantic storm in August which was quite early. 2011 maybe?

 

[Hairy Celt]

Getting the hose out achieved very little in the way of rain so I'm going to give it another go now.

[Puffy MacCloud]

The temperature was kept down by consistent cloud cover that only let a few sunny spells through but provided several rain showers driven on by a southerly breeze that kept the ward feeling cool and comfortable today.

[mardatha]

Horrible dull blustery day. And ongoing. Bah.

[Quinach]

Very blustery day with some powerful gusts this evening shredding the leaves from the young beech tree in the garden.

No rain so sprinkler has been on for most of the day as ground very dry even with the rain that we had last week.

Kids afternoon made by a US Air force Osprey tiltrotor flying pretty low over the house.  Impressive looking machine and a change from all the bristow et al oilfield support helicopters that normally buzz the area.

Outside it's bright overcast and it's raining proper rain. But I don't care. The leakage rate through my pneumothorax has dropped below 1 litre per minute for the first time since I got here nine weeks ago. I smell progress. I also smell something from next door. Dirty next door...
