    Yeah, Dennis Howell was the Sports Minister then appointed Drought Minister, bring him back. I have been seeing so called climate experts comparing the current hot spell to 1976 and dismissing 76 as we had one record breaking temperature this year. Obviously they didn't live through a whole spring and summer drought that touched most of the UK, followed by the plagues of greenfly and the ladybirds swarming over everything. If this drought continues until September it might be comparable but it's not countrywide like back then.

          After yesterday's constant drizzle today has been sunny and warm, with just a few fluffy clouds to prevent it getting too hot :SUNsmile:

              The light rain of yesterday hasn't done much to water the garden, the soil still looks parched. It felt a little autumnal today. Complete cloud cover, no breeze and both humidity and temperature have dropped, just 16C/61F.

                38°C here. That's the shade temp, though. Doesn't take into account the truly fearsome strength of the sun recently. For the first time in my life, I had to go indoors at 17h because it was still too strong to sit in. Even well-watered plants are burning up :yikes:

                        Hi,

                        Nice dry bright morning.

                        This surely isn't the Yorkshire I'm used to; where's the rain? :scratch:

                        Kind regards
