Stormy Weather

[cloughie]

I said yesterday was "chilly" - deteriorated into "parky" overnight: I gave up the struggle and made a hot water bottle at around 1:00am, AND the Central Heating came on briefly this morning, which means the temperature must have dipped below 5 degrees! In July!!!!

Not that cold here but very wet and windy.

Central heating and pullover today. Usually sunny Malvern looking very soggy at the moment.

Finally reached for the pullover and heater switch here as well. A truly terrible day, beyond belief dire. Temperatures have never exceeded 15 degrees and been raining for much of the day.

It must be the coldest end of July day I can remember. Unbelievable.

Even though it's a Friday, everyone in the office has felt glum.

Not a drop of rain 'oop 'ere all day, hazy moon tonight, coolish outside, but walkable.

Rain finally ceased here after a final downpour at around 7.30. The strong winds forecast haven't yet materialised.

It poured everywhere I went in London today.
the thought of a late night drive home through lots of standing water and rain , and the non existent high winds put me off tonights Prom.
Mind you, leaving at the interval might have worked.....

Just your luck, TS - the first time it's rained properly in London for weeks!

A meeting meant I missed tonight's Prom, which looked interesting, but will give it a go tomorrow. TBH these days I prefer the Cadogan Hall afternoon ones. I never book ahead, just chance it (if I'm up to going) by turning up an hour beforehand. If it's fully booked there's normally a queue of hopefuls outside, which takes about half an hour to reach the front, where with any luck one can step into any lapsed bookings.

44 mm rain here today - more than half of the month's total so far. WOMAD is just a few miles down the road from us and must have had a good drenching. Just listening to it on R3. It doesn't seem to have dampened their enthusiasm. We were in Cologne midweek for a birthday party and it was stiflingly muggy with 23C at night.
