Summer weather thread 2024

[Shadowness]

FFS no that's perfectly fine. Mid 20s is ideal for this country, as long as it cools down nicely at night (sleep comfort).

Bring it on!!

 

[robfosters]

Change that 2 in there for a 1 and it will be ideal

Wrong again, off to the it’s too hot thread with you

I don't want to jinx it, but has anyone else noticed a lack of flies this year so far?

We have a livery here, so the huge mound of horse**** makes things exceptionally bad and the last couple of years at least have been horrific for the amount of flies. I'm talking like 30, 40, 50 at a time continuously in the house.

But so far this year, hardly any, and I've only just brought the zapper out of the cupboard yesterday to keep on top of the odd couple that make their way in (though it did zap ~10 over the day)

We've already got them coming in, no horse **** around either.

Plenty flies here. Loads of those tiny fruit flies around atm. I personally think insect numbers are back on the increase. Definitely seems to be more about the last few years. Possibly the mild winters we're having.

I just got some laser sights for my Bug-A-Salt finally. Looking forward to shooting some blue-bottles with it.

Ah here it is then guys. The "summer" is arriving next week. I count a whole 6 days in a row! I'll take it.

Looks like going to start week good.. But maybe wane towards end. Obviously 10 days out is very much unreliable.

Not best weekend in West though.. So met says.

 

[Junglist]

Enjoying this turn of weather. Bloody glorious

Why is she playing blocks when she's supposed to be doing the weather?

She can play whatever she likes as far as I'm concerned!

It is proper lovely out there now! 24 degrees in the bbq shack.

 

[UTmaniac]

Uncomfortably warm on a 20min walk back from Drs, apparently 28C feels like 27C.

That's decidedly precise that internal thermometer you have.

Like other temps I mention, from Weather Underground app.

I get mine from my left hand, if it's cold it's cool out, if it's cool it's normal out and if it's normal it's too ****** hot.

Eh?

'apparently 28C feels like 27C'

I mean, you 'feel' that one degree of difference?

All from app, it gives a "feels like" temp, just like Met Office app, to account for wind chill.

Ok, gotcha. I was reading it literally as you could feel the smallest variation in temperature, my brain is having a very literal day.

I was suitably impressed and bemused in equal measure for a time
