Stormy Weather II

[BBMmk2]

The weather is slightly cooler today. Thankfully. Today, going to be much the same, with a shower thrown in as well!

Glad I did my trip yesteray as it's cloudier and more humid today. Remains to be seen if it does turn thundery - the signs are there in the clouds, but not really coming together as yet - we may be too much on the edge of the action!

Didn’t have any in the end! I think it’s going to be ok today though.

Stunning day out there today - brilliant sunshine, barely a cloud, clear atmosphere (at last!), light winds, and temperatures just at the right levels. None of that stuffy London summer feel. With any luck weather should hold for the weekend, apart from the NW/Scotland.

I’m hoping for a great day today! Especially on Horse Guards!

Hot, sultry, sun, still.
Feels like thunder not too far away. And garden sure needs rain.


................and at 5.28, boy, do we have it!

Ah yes - the cooping of the trollers! I understand Her Maj was to be mounted on duty, but without the Duke, so to speak.

Yes. I think a new era has dawned in the Royal House of Windsor. There’s a new Royal Colonel for the Grenadiers, Prince Andrew. So we had Charles, Ann, Andrew and the Duke of Kent riding. I was wondering whether HM would be taking her usual place, as Prince Charles represented her at last year’s Remembrance Parade.

Amazing to note how OLD Prince Andrew now looks - more like his brother, who looks as old as the Duke; but for his considerable physical build I wouldn't have recognised him.

On the weather front, it's all change from Wednesday onwards, with a return to what until the recent past had always been our "typical" westerly pattern, and an end to the blocked, north-easterly type that has dominated for the past fortnight and indeed much of the year. It'll make a nice, refreshing change for all but the extreme NW of Scotland (no change there), and eventually (probably) bring much-needed rain to parched areas.

Lovely here now, warm and sunny.
The BBC forecast was for cloud all day, so that was wrong again.

That may be because the storms over France of the past week or so have not massed into one big system today, and so there is less upper cloud outflow crossing the Channel. I've noticed what upper cloud there has been dissolving away here over London this afternoon. The forecasters have managed to get the bit right about storms developing across Scotland and the NE; it's been rumbling away east of the Pennines and north of a line E-W through Preston for much of the day.

That’ll be the one that goes out through Blackburn and Burnley to Colne. The old L&Y!

The sun finally triumphed here at midday, so a pleasant summer afternoon - at last! It will be good if the current cold quarter weather shifts; it's bad enough being cold but when there's no sun or even blue sky for much of the time either it all gets a bit tiresome. There was some light rain during the night which has cleared the air and laid the dust(all over the cars thanks to our unmade road...), but some more would not go amiss.

Lovely day yesterday. Couldn’t fault it.

Perfect down here just now.
