Summer weather thread 2024

just slightly wet but nice and warm up in the true North of England.

Saw a massive fat slug on my wall, must have been pregnant or something... had to spray it with bleach , belly flop to the floor from about 8-9ft and sent off to the after life with a burial mound of salt.

RIP.

bet it was looking to lay eggs, don't usually see them in the day time.

literally looked like a jelly cocoon on the wall, never seen something so disgusting in my life.

Makes you wonder if people ever ate them hundreds of years ago, I bet the French have tried

Should have picked it off and thrown it out into the verge for another animal/bird to eat.

I can't reach that high easier to spray it.

seemed to be dead after about 5 seconds so not like it struggled.


The kitchen window being open just set off the extractor fan, I guess that explains the slug coming out early in the day.
90% relative humidity according to the weather man.
 
Further North than you :p

Grim buddy!
 
Tell us something we don’t know!

"south and east have had a more typical UK summer" yup sounds about right. Sunny again today at least that overnight heat & humidity of a few days ago has gone can get some sleep now

Raining heavily again today... Saturday was nice but, apart from that, I don't think we've had a dry day in August :(

Same. It's been extremely difficult finding any gap in weather where it's been nice. Usually September is nice. But again, not a sunny day all month so far
 
Fantastic weekend here... Was dull in the morning but then the sun burnt the mist/fog away and it was glorious... Out for a walk in shorts/t-shirt and then sat out the back reading a book in the sun. I had to put the umbrella up to stave off the heat from the direct sun as it was way too warm :eek:
