Rain forecast here from late morning, so I took my brolly and a mac with me on my travels into darkest Leeds - where it was a lovely, sunny day! Practically as soon as I got back home, at 4:00 pm, the rain started - and how! An impressive thunderstorm right overhead (fortissimo at last!) for about half-an-hour. Just cloudy since.

Don"t know Rab, but one of the beauties of this kind of festival is its age inclusiveness. A rare and lovely thing which the Proms also manages, to a point at least.
Tent pegs should go in a bit more easily after this weekend.
Was in the Cotswolds today where the weather was overcast and warm.
Back home, a couple of hours of rain this evening which is easing off now.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Not a spot of rain all day in the Metrollops, and my decision to travel by bike was vindicated.... but as I scuttled back to my work bunker with some food before the final 2 hour stint, there was a distinct massing of dirty great black clouds, and a gusting of wind, and the faintest hint of drizzle. I fancy I shall get a soaking on the way home. Tant pis, weekend + washing machine + hot shower = no problem

The heavy downpours forecast for here never materialised, mostly sunny and warm all day until after 6pm when it turned drizzly."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

), and it covered a large area.
Clouds puffing up considerably here now, notwithstanding an officially dry forecast for the SE. And it's much fresher - feels more like September.Comment

Tomorrow looks set to be a very wet and windy day courtesy of the remnants of Hurricane Bertha.

Same here greenilex - much insect munching I suspect. I'm hoping it's just a lull before Bertha tomorrow and then back to warm for at least another month to six weeks.Originally posted by greenilex View Post
Well if you don't ask ....
