powerrabbit Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Same here Bill, wal to wall sunshine, outside temperature reading 18.1C and the Swallows are happier as they are well twittering and diving about. Had to go into Exeter late this morning and with the amount of water running on the roads, wheels picking it up and following other vehicles, had to have the windscreen wipers going most of the time. Another 10.8mm of rain fell here before midnight last night. Just totalled up the rainfall here for April = 107.6mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I normally sleep like a log but last night I woke a few times because of the heat. It was 12.5 degrees on the way to work this morning and clear until I reached Marshall Trailers were it was thick fog. It's beginnning to burn off as I type and looks to be another cracking day ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Pretty warm here yesterday but today, 09.10am it's 22.2C outside and will get hotter as the day goes on, winter to high summer in 2 days! There'll be a drought declared by the end of next week I expect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 The last rain we had in Aberdeenshire was early Saturday morning and now 6 days on no rain and around 21 or 22 degrees. Yesterday the past week had been so nice I decided to take a day off the first of this years holiday entitlement which started on 1st April. Although I love my job the weeks pass so much quicker if you can get a 4 day week ever so often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weblet375 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 just saw forecast for the week pretty much the same wet and it may get colder.is this the shape of things to come??. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 They say that it's going to remain in the same pattern for at least several more weeks unless the position of the jet stream changes. The jet stream being so far further South than normal is keeping the air flow around the UK in more or less a continuous and static position which is keeping the low pressure systems we've been having just going around in circles.

BC Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Well I'm praying for a dry weekend Chris....on Saturday to tidy my garden in the morning and the folks one in the afternoon and then on Sunday a day out to the Alford Cavalcade at the Grampian Transport Museum at Alford.I was there a few weeks ago for an event but it was so wet and miserable I even refused an ice cream cone from Brian...so here's hoping it is a nice day. I not even going to look at the weekend forecast and will just take the weekend as it comes ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 As they say in the song I really wonder considering I was just about to jet wash the slabs to my front door and also around the greenhouse / cold frame and tattie plot when this came on followed by a crack of thunder.....the weather annoyed me but that is just an inconvenience for me (there is always tomorrow and if I'm not there I do not care...a quote from my dad..)...having said that I do really feel sorry for the farmers who are earning their living off the land in times like this...."I cannot believe it" as old Victor Meldrum used to say but the sun is now shining from the North...camera on charge ..no photos. But I don't believe it ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLNrLI3OBwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
