Certainly feels that way at the moment.

I'm back needing my cashmere jumper and a jacket again!!

It's July FFS!

11c and raining. Still too hot in the other thread I imagine?

If and when the Gulf Stream fails, we will be even colder. Around 10-15 degrees is predicted. We will end up like northern Canada.

Was nice to have about 2 weeks of solid sunshine this year - looks like summer is done and dusted!

Managed an hours walk with the dog in the gap between showers. Fresh and breezy about 12°C so I didn't sweat until I got into the house.

I don't think I've sweat once in the last 2 weeks. But then again, I only tend to sweat during summer.

It's the keeping up with the dog when he's walking fast that starts it off, I'm fine in this weather when he's just sniffing at everthing

It's not raining here just yet, but it's definitely on the cards for later..

Meanwhile there's no blue sky in sight, it's cooler and the strong wind makes it feel even cooler still.

I had a work thing about 100 miles away, wasn't raining yesterday morning, checked weather, like 30% here, then dry, then 40% chance a little later, similar for this morning.

So thought, ok that's not too bad, I'll risk the motorcycle, might get a bit of drizzle or a short shower here and there, no big deal.

What actually happened is by the time I'd got about 30 miles down, biblical rain for the next 24 hours.

I came home about and hour ago, soaked to the pants, water in boots, freezing, the colour of my knees were a shade of dark purple id never seen before.

FFS.

Has not stopped raining here for nearly 2 days. Cooled the air down and solved the pollen issue! Happy about that

Send some of it down this way would you could do with a bit of that here water butts are in dire need of refilling!

Loads of rain overnight. Glad of it, the lawn was starting to suffer already. 4 water butts should be nicely refilled.
Sun, showers and lots of wind today..

Heating has come on this morning. Ridiculous for this time of year.

Tuppy_Glossop · Sunday at 08:50

Beautiful sunny day yesterday. Got all the hedging trimmed (cut through the cable again, it was 10m when I got it and is now about 3.5m). Today we are expecting rain until mid-afternoon then sunshine. If I can squeeze cutting the lawn in before it starts raining then I can weed later on in the sunshine. Got to squeeze a walk in too.

I can't remember the forecasting ever being this bad. Even the day before /morning of the day can be crazily off.
