Now warm enough to eat breakfast muesli and tea-time pizza out of doors - brilliant, when I remember the long frowsty months of indoor crumby telly meals.

Temperatures already 23 C at noon here, with the forecasters hedging their bets on predicting rain this evening with talk of "scattered thunderstorms".

Once again, the BBC forecasters are understating the temperatures. We were promised early morning temperatures of 15 degrees but it was actually 21 degrees at 8.30. by noon the promised 22 degrees had become 27 degrees and felt it. Despite the sudden cloud cover later on it still felt very warm. A few spots of rain this evening - just after I'd watered the plants, but nothing more."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Yes indeed S_A, and it's also thanks to your expert tuition that I now know all about Katabatic flows, the Foehn Effect and lots more weather facts!! You are aOriginally posted by Serial_Apologist View Post
Yesterday here was the hottest day of the month at 24.7°, early evening it became very dark which resulted in a very short but heavy shower around 7pm. However later on from 10.00pm onwards there was constant lightening (horizontal, not forked) but no thunder towards the NE, veering around to NNE, quite a good light show that lasted for about an hour and a half. Today is quite breezy, lots of fluffy white clouds, nearly 21° as I type this, promise of a shower early evening again.
My Raymond Evison patio clematis is in flower, looking very lovely as are my troughs of geraniums. I've planted up 3 hanging baskets and some nemesia (which I didn't realise was so highly perfumed) in a tub and hung a planter on the fence with a variegated nasturtium and something else with small yellow flowers which I've forgotten the name of!! Trouble is, the constant watering .........Comment

Well you will saunter off and live the high life in the south of France!!Originally posted by amateur51 View Post
You must expect to get back to basics with a bit of a bump!!
Welcome back - hope you had an excessively good hol?
How are the temps. here compared with the jolly old Rhône-Alpes?

Weather was wonderful, extremely warm but with pleasant occasional cooling breeze
My basics were sorely depleted by my leaving a new litre of milk out of the fridge
Edit: here's the rain, like stair rods

Perhaps more that you can be both in North Norfolk and in East Anglia simultaneously...Originally posted by amateur51 View PostAaah bit like the mystery that is Middlesex?

The Norfolk reference was purely illustrative, Bbm!
