    At 12.30am this morning I was sitting in the Kitchen, working on the Computer, listening to the Thunder and Lightning and the rain beating against the windows as a Storm broke until around 2am. By 7am the Garden Weather Station had recorded nearly 15mm of rain. Today has been a mixture of Sun and cloud with a top temperature of 72f with a pressure reading of 989hpa.

      Yesterday turned into another uncomfortably hot day. I've been finding it too debilitating to do gardening except before 8 a.m. or after 7 p.m. The humidity has been horrible. We had another few hours of drizzle during the night and the temperature dropped to 61.3F (16C) but it's very sunny now and the mercury is rising.

      The forecast is for sun and showers (the ground needs the rain as we've only had night-time drizzles in the last couple of nights) but the weather map is showing that as the rain progresses across the skies there is a clear gap over Shineyland. :noidea:

        Yes it was hot here as well. Sunny intervals and this afternoon showers with maybe thunder storms.

            We were promised heavy rain for most of the day but as per usual the forecast was wrong. The Jet Stream map was right showing that it would be dry, and apart from a shower early on it remained grey but dry, also a little chilly. 14C/57F

              Yesterday was mainly hot and sunny with rain visible all around us. It then all gathered in one small cloud and dropped almost an inch of rain in five minutes (stopped the traffic). Then there was bright sunshine for the rest of the day.

              It dropped to a chilly 54F overnight but is bright and sunny again this morning.

                We're having the strangest August I can remember - a couple of really hot days then a few really chilly ones when it feels more like March. :crazy: We've had no rain for a good few weeks now, apart from drizzle, so I'm envious of those torrential downpours some of you are having! :peace:

                        Two or three heavy short showers during the day with the sun managing to break through heavy cloud from time to time. 17C/63F

                        Autumn is already starting to show up here with leaves having a tinge of yellow. To early! :doh:

                          This morning began with cloud covered skies from the West but dry. By midday the Sun came out for a short while and the temperature crept upwards from around 59f to 67f and in my South facing garden it almost felt hot!! But by around 3pm the cloud moved in again and by 6pm the temperature was down 59f again and it was raining lightly.
                          At the moment the temperature is 57f, it's cloudy and raining every now and then, with a pressure reading of 100hpa.:coffee::snorky:
