Stormy Weather II

[cloughie]

As Randy Newman wrote ‘I think its gonna rain today’.

Persisting with shorts still but somewhat chilly on bike just now, but worth the trip for some fresh fish and local asparagus from weekly market.

Somewhat cooler today. Sunny intervals, and breezy.. 15C.

It's lovely and fresh now; the temperature in the flat is now warmer than outside, whereas for a few days it was the other way around!

[DracoM]

Precisely as here.

The forecast change didn't happen as quickly as thought so the gardening stint yesterday was rather more uncomfortable than expected, but the temperature suddenly dropped early evening, and today is 10 degrees cooler. The possibility of rain seems to be in 'next day' mode(ie moving from forecast day to the next along), so watering may still be needed. Pleasant enough in the sun but shaded spots exposed to the breeze(such as the town's new(ish) shopping centre - why do such places never take any account of the effects of weather conditions?) are a tad fresh.

Must be a very high pollen count in my area at the moment. I have a very bad case of it! Yuk! Cataract ops and hay fever don't mix!

Someone has been mowing the lawn as well!!

Either lawn order, or cuts in the public sector, Bbm! There are quite a few conventional colds around right now - like me, you might have caught one of these.

The "experts" don't seem too sure about the weekend weather. That front out to the west is expected to cross tomorrow, bringing more rain to northern areas as it passes than the south, but they're not sure what wil happen to it on Sunday: will it stall along the east coast, and if so, be re-invigorated by that hot air streaming up to its east from the Med, thus bringing the strong likelihood of thunderstorms, travelling north from a line roughly from Brighton through London and up through E Anglia to Lincs and Yorks. It all hinges on whether or not the blocking high over E Europe remains strong or gives way - if the latter then we'll be free of that pesky front and all be in coolish weather, with showers here and there.

Rain since before 10am here.

Indeed SA.

Yes, SA, they used several models and each one was inconclusive. We will wait and see, although we should be getting some rain later on today.

Cleared up around 4.00pm yesterday, looks good for today!

[DracoM]

Garden [ and me] a bit taken aback by a snap of frost overnight - not huge, but with young plants outside...............!!?
Yesterday up here was so cold that arounf 7 p.m-ish central heating turned itself on in self-defence

[BBMmk2]

Rain! On The Weather Channel app, with the radar, the rain my goodness!

[cloughie]

Rain again!

Today, in the Land of the Loch Ness Monster, has been the first day of summer. We have actually had our meals outside and have had to keep covered to avoid sunburn. Long may it continue.
