It's too hot :(

Where the heck has all this rain in South Wales and approaching the England south coast, suddenly come from?

Very thankful for my AC today (and the whole of next week too, I should imagine)

We had like 20 minute of rain. It's not raining. We need some rain

It's been hot

It absolutely poured down here for about 20 mins, enough to saturate the garden and need a few days to dry out before I can tackle it.

We need some rain

No thanks not yet (unless at night)

Farmers across the country are in desperate need of some rain. Hopefully some will come after this hot week, but it looks to be already causing a lot of issues with crop growth.

My stored garden water is nearly done. Using washing up water and such like. Looking like 1976 all over again.

Driest start to spring for 69 years apparently.

Giggity.

It's probably already too late, the damage has been done. Crops are so far behind around here to where they should be, even if we got rain it wouldn't be able to catch up, and there's still none forecast around here for week(s)

Yields are going to be terrible this year.

That was nice yesterday with most of the day spent in the garden with the roof off the gazebo and only put back on later to watch something on the tablet.

I am using my dehumidifier water, it fills up at least every 2 days, it's something I suppose

We have a bbq in the garden yesterday and the mrs was in Brighton with a mate on Saturday - then rained early this morning. The dry weather has been great.

It does feel like we are being treated in a way with much warmer weather after such a cold and harsh winter.

I just hope it lasts!

I wonder when the Hosepipe Bans will look likely to kick off down South.... It doesnt seem to take much at all for them to happen.

 

[Shadowness]

Not often I say this, as I've been enjoying all the dry weather and getting out on the bike a lot, but I dare say a lot of crops need water ASAP. Thunderstorms and flash flooding on the forecast near us, so maybe that'll help a bit.

I had the best night sleep in a long time yesterday, it wasnt overly hot, a lot cooler and i slept like a log

Cold and harsh winter ? Pretty sure they are becoming milder I think the records back that can't remember when the last time we had good fall of snow

Yeah - cold and harsh had a totally different meaning when I was a kid in the 80s - it was a kind of long winter in terms of quite a long spell of cooler weather but the meat of the winter was nothing like cold and harsh.

Heating your (non double glazed) house did used to be cheaper then, though.

Sewage excess outflow should be reduced with the current heat, but,
wouldn't mind a drop of rain to consolidate (per it's instructions) the moss killing chemical Fes I'm waiting to apply to lawn
