Yet another scorcher here too. BrummieSimon's prediction of a 'dismal July' was as laughable as Michael Fish's 'no hurricane' in 1987. Thank goodness!

Sorry! I was out sunning myself with some friends. In fact, I've only just got back - but then, the sun sets much later here at this time of the year.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostGosh!

You must all be outside, sunning yourselves.

I'm just wondering where the lady forecaster at BBC London was just now when she predicted one or two "heavy showers breaking out, possibly thundery, later on today" when right now she would see the one we are in the middle of by just looking out through one of their lovely big windows at Langham Place. Our regular gardening team, here to cut the grass, have been marooned inside their van for the past half an hour - just as well I advised them not to stay out in it, given that lightning hit a couple of nearby trees a few minutes ago.
Oh, one of them seems to have decided after all to risk it out there with the rotary!

Another 30 degree scorcher up here. More or less wall to wall sunshine the whole day. Forecast is for it to cool down a touch tomorrow and Sunday and then start picking up again. Looks like it could be the second Summer in a row when it's better in the Midlands and North than in London."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Clouds of flying ants overhead about 10 minutes ago !! Bloody things are everywhere !!!!!

The good ole BBC has released timelapsed footage of the first of the violent thunderstorms that crossed here in S London this afternoon. Unfortunately the speeding up has obliterated the cloud-to-ground lightning strikes, of which there were many, but the intensity of the rain is apparent from the curtain's obscuring the horizon 9 miles distant. As the rain curtain moves away south-west (to the right) the Crystal Palace TV mast together with the other one a couple of miles further south comes into view. About three quarters of the way across the shot from the left you can also see, just to the right of the two cranes in the foreground, the round skyscraper on the south bank which I've unaffectionately nicknamed the thermos flask.
Enjoy!

Oh! You mean the weather!
Around 10 to 3 this afternoon, it was basically sleeting outside my office. It was too heavy and thick to be just rain.
And was I supposed to cycle off for a 3pm meeting? Yes
Actually we postponed till 3.15 and it was a dry ride past St Paul's at that point!"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Sleeting, Cali? Goodness! In July!! We just had a few specks of rain, nowt much, unfortunately have to admit, not doing the ground much good? Playing havoc with my chest, breathing probs etc. Having
double my inhalers, and if it persists
STEROIDS!!
What? No beer????Don’t cry for me

Another blisteringly hot morning here. If it continues like this it must surely be one of the finest July's for years."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Those of us from the apparently meteorologically-challenged South remember July 2012 as the month of the Olympics ... and what a fine July & August that was, in the South (cue Sir Edward!Originally posted by Petrushka View Post

And what a wonderfully sunny and warm start to the Glasgow Games it's been, showing Glasgow at its best (not that I've ever been there but I'm sure it's a beautiful city and even more beautiful when the sun shines) I watched the swimming and wished I could glide into a cool pool .... Incidentally I hadn't realised Tunnock's Tea Cakes were so iconic! But hasn't there been a fallout between them and Mr. Salmond?
Here, since Sunday at over 26° it's gradually got hotter day by day, only rain we've seen was an hour on Sunday evening so (I'm not complaining about having a proper Summer) I'm looking forward to it being cooler tomorrow as I need to spend a couple of hours gardening in some degree of comfort.Comment
