Yes - July has (so far) been pretty glorious in the Pennines, too (as witnessed on the "Avez-vous une cuppa" coverage). A couple of heavy showers on Monday morning aside, it's been a sunny, warm week.

It's been a good week here, and the last two days have been amazing, with a temp today of 23º C.
I'm at work today until 8.00, then I'm off on two weeks' leave (yay!) so I confidently expect the rain to start at 20.01 this evening!Comment

Everyone around the UK seems to be getting the best possible weather, excepting us, for a change.

Spent a lovely three days in York.
Currently some 10 miles away from Whitby ...planning an assault on the beach and castle building whenever weather permits...
So far the weather (despite forecasts) has been kind... so we hit the beaches tomorrow !!
(Famous last words or what !!?
)
The past fortnight in Yorkshire has been great - and though an avid fan of South West England - I'm reminded of how beautiful my home county is
Ahem that rose should be white !!!

"Ten miles from Whitby"? Towards Staithes or Ravenscar, Tevvy? Either direction; good call!

Very warm again today, close and muggy and next to no wind. Temperature thingy at the railway station said 26 degrees at 5.30!

Phew, wot a scorcher! A glorious Summer morning up here. Not a cloud in the sky and not a breath of wind. Temp must be about 24 degrees already. The over-cautious weather forecasts are not really telling it how it is, perhaps stung in the past by silly predictions of a 'barbecue summer' and the Michael Fish moment. Dismal July? Let's have more of it!

Where are you off to this time mangerton, and does it involve trains?Originally posted by mangerton View Post
It's due here around 6pm, that's ok, the grass has been cut and the plants could do with it. Seems set fair after that until the 19th when it turns showery for a week. Meanwhile it is indeed a glorious day, not as hot as you are but creeping up to a pleasant 22°, a bit of misty high cloud.Originally posted by Petrushka View PostComment

Oddly enough, yes,Originally posted by Anna View PostWhere are you off to this time mangerton, and does it involve trains? but only to get to my destination - London, where inter alia I am going to see Monty Python at the O2.
OT, my prediction yesterday came to naught. It hasn't rained yet, even although I tried to help things along by washing my car this morning.Comment

Temperatures reached 28 C in central London this afternoon (84 F) and it felt like it! Now the sky is turning a very ugly mixture of orange and dark grey, with winds getting up and a lot of lightning and thunder approaching from the south-west.Comment

Turning grey here too but we need the rain in my part of YorkshireComment
