Three minutes of stair rods - Was so nice.--

Did you stand out in it and recreate the scene from Shawshank when Andy escapes into the river?

Love it, enjoy it while it last and then back to miserable rain and windy cold weather.

Went from a server room to outside around 2pm and nearly died.

True story.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly atm

Unfortunately no - but Ronnie did it for me.

Just been out and surveyed the estate - nice to see damp earth rather than dust.

Would make sense to buy an AC unit for that surely

I also live above a shop which produces a lot of heat

Same with caving in this weather - its generally down to like 10-11C but feels more like 3C - when you emerge into this kind of weather after a few hours it really hits you - literally feels like your lungs stop working.

IIRC the last server room I worked in was temperature controlled to 14C. (EDIT: reads 20C in there at the moment).

(Temperatures when I ran my gaming PC in there http://www.aten-hosted.com/images/1250c.jpg ).

I love the smell when the ground gets rain for the first time in weeks.

It's only for 2 months of the year if that

I use mine about 6 or 7 months of the year, but I do like it cold. Even for just 2 months, I would have thought a £350 investment to assure no more lost sleep to the heat for years to come would be a good investment?

80+ chance of heavy rain between 1900 and 2000 it said. Ha!
Not even one drop.
I’m actaully starting to enjoy the hot weather now I’m getting used to it, but we really could do with rain.
Garden looks very

Just had a storm here and a very welcome one at that. Extremely heavy rain, strong winds out of nowhere. Just what the doctor ordered. :cool:

The heavens seem to be opening up in Tyne and Wear, welcome change.

robfosters · 17 Jul 2018 at 01:17

No point even trying to sleep

Minusorange · 17 Jul 2018 at 01:21

14 degrees here it's getting closer to winter temps now than summer temps

Well, looks like yet another day of this.

Yay......

edit: You'd think it was closing in on 9pm with how dark it is!

robj20 · 17 Jul 2018 at 12:19

Just had an email hosepipe ban on the 5th Aug for the North West. Have to get the car cleaned on the 4th then and make sure the garden is well watered.

It's funny looking at the forecast we have more rain days than dry days, seems silly to start the ban when the weather is finally changing
