Some welcome rain overnight and much cooler today - and tomorrow is forecast to be positively chilly as well as wet. I can get the last of my veg plants out now but will need to watch out for slimy munchers who will be hungry after the heat and dry.

Yes, it was just visible from this distance: we just had the heavy rain. Today it's post-storm clagginess, outside feeling like a shower cublcle just used. Can't say I'm not looking forward to the cooler weather coming next week.Originally posted by BBMmk2 View PostComment

After a little overnight rain, it feels very warm again here with the temperature rapidly climbing upwards. It feels very close with barely a breath of wind. Indoor temperature at midnight in my listening room was 26.7 degrees. Some don't like it but I feel perfectly fine with it! Once had a night-time temperature of 29 degrees in there after a prolonged heatwave and have to admit that it brought me out in a sweat while all the time I was willing it to reach 30."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

I'm not good with very high temperatures: the only way I was able to sleep when we had such a heatwave a few years ago was by having a nearly cold bath each night before going to bed. This time the really high temperatures did not last long enough to counteract my strategies for keeping indoors cool for as long as possible. I would have been hopeless living in a tropical country.Originally posted by Petrushka View PostComment

Despite dire warnings just modest rain and lightning in our neck of the woods; enough humidity however to raise the real possibility of potato blight.Comment

Rain aplenty over our location on the northward-shifting boundary edge between hot air over eastern Europe and cool air stretching south from Iceland to Portugal, and notwithstanding the colder surface temperatures under the rain band spiral this looks likely to continue until Monday. One whopper of a thunderstorm is now firing off over northern Holland and Belgium; it will be interesting to see of this moves west in the next couple of hours - already there's been thunder on the Essex and Kent sides of the M25.Comment

It has been very wet here, and also chilly. The temperature isn't due to improve but with luck it shouldn't rain today. The garden is looking shell-shocked and the tomatoes aren't very happy - fingers crossed blight will stay away, but I'll be out with the seaweed spray just in case; even if it doesn't prevent the blight it provides a boost for the plants which is always a good thing.Comment

No rain here today (thus far) following yesterday's continuous precipitations, but cold, more October-like than two days from midsummer, with featureless leaden grey sky all day. It doesn't look like improving until the middle of next week.
