Stormy Weather

[Petrushka]

Started out great, then gradually became muggy! Yuk!

What's wrong with muggy? I know I'm probably in a minority but I don't mind muggy at all. Beats cold every time.

It's been a most pleasant weekend so far, very nice late-Spring weather. The outlook for June http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635167#outlook doesn't look at all bad but is hedged around with so many 'ifs' 'buts' and 'maybes' as to be virtually useless.

Ooh, no - if it's cold, you can put a jumper on or notch up the central heating. If it's muggy, nothing cools you down (except standing in a running shower/lying in a cold bath for two months).

Glad to say, warm and sunny here in the Pennines today, without a hint of mug.

I know I'm in a minority but I've always felt quite comfortable in muggy conditions and like those hot, sticky nights we can get in the summer. Perhaps I live in the wrong country?

And here too: sunny, warm, gorgeous on fells, but at street level made noisy as usual on such summer Sundays by geriatric biker-wannabeboys [ahem] and intensified for a week or so by Appleby Horse Fair traffic.

Singapore was bad. But Douala was far worse....

Yes, from the location I can see why.

Remember the time when they had a great jazz festival at Appleby every year? They probably stopped that to make way for... more entertaining things.

The temperature here has not managed to exceed 12 degrees celsius today, with the sky obscured by an amorphous grey blanket of stratus accompanied by drizzle and the odd heavier burst of rain, borne on a cutting north wind. In the flat it has dropped to 15 degrees C, and I have just now put the central heating on - the first time ever that I can ever remember needing to do this in the month of June!

The lightning map is illuminated like the South Bank on New Year's Eve right now, along the border between the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg, but I don't envisage any of those storms coming further west to affect us here - maybe just the odd heavier burst of rain emanating therefrom.

Sorry to hear that, S_A. It's been lovely here all week - "lashing aff us", in fact. 22° today when I left work.

Heating on here too I associate this weather with the anxiety of trying to organise outdoor knees-ups in May Week when a student (in a place where May Week happens in June.... )
