Here in the midlands, a high of 19c.
Drizzle, cloudy, breezy, feels about 3-4c cooler than it actually is, and I've just discovered that cosy feeling again, being in a room not feeling like I'm struggling to breathe.
I wish it stays like this from now on until September, but I predict a smallish patch of maybe 27-29c for 3 days beginning of Sept and that'll be it due to the daylight hours.
Hopefully the first of many during a cold Autumn and Winter!!
I swear over the last 3 days we've been forecast hours of rain, including a thunderstorm today. There was a bit of rain overnight and maybe a few drops this afternoon but otherwise still dry as a bone. And no thunder.
How is it the forecasts keep getting this so wrong?
Where is the rain that was promised? The once and future weather?
There’s another golden dusk over the Thames (very pretty) but honestly, I was excited for a bit of rain today. Not a drop.
Did we use our allocation over winter?
I’m sorry I have no idea what’s going on!
I guess it’s probably lightning but there’s no thunder and it’s been in the same place for about half hour. Anyone know what it is?
Feels like we need to reconsider our building methods, many of our houses were built to shelter people from icy winters but basically become large pizza ovens in modern heatwaves
Been saying rain everyday for 3 days now and 5 minutes before it is meant to rain they change it back to cloud, the weather forecast never used to be like this it was almost very accurate before the heatwave.. what is going on lol
Genuinely so excited for the next few weeks, of colder weather ❣️❤️
Been like this since as long as you guys have had it sunny
I spent the night in my campervan along the south coast. I’ve hardly spent any time in it this summer, it’s been too hot and I’ve been too depressed.
It’s just gone 5am and I have been woken up by a wet patch on the sheets… I was very confused…
IT’S RAINING!!!
I left the hatch above my bed wide open and it’s dripped onto my bedding. I’ve never been happier about this! It’s really proper rain and the weather radar on Windy shows it’s gonna keep raining! REJOICE!
Nothing better than the sound of rain on the roof of the van. Great timing. Things are finally looking up.
And yeah I left my washing out at home. Also totally OK with that. Finally the garden gets rained on.
For those that experienced it; what was it like?
My seven year old twins were so happy; they both exclaimed about it (on waking up). Even they had become aware of the lack of rain.
