Great summer in Dublin too !

 

[Topper]

Thought you had persuaded her to give that up as a bad idea?

Are SWMBO and the cool bag not one and the same?

 

[2cvbloke]

Not the best weather to be moving house in, that's for sure...

And where's all the smilies gone??

 

[Captain Jack]

I just moved to my new house - way too hot for moving. But better than a cold drizzling rain.

Having had the same hot weather as the UK for the last week (high 20's to low 30's) it's broken tonight with a heavy thunderstorm, hail and torrential rain. The storm cells are heading North so should get over the channel in a couple of hours....

ive been watching the tour for the last few weeks, yes it was great weather, glad I was a spectator though and not a participant :-).

 

[sonnetpete]

Martin, I could have gone along to the Avranches - Mt St Michel time trial, as it was only 25km west of me but it was far too hot to spectate even then. I don't know how the riders coped, especially during this last week.

Yes pete I was glad I was sat indoors watching it I just popped into the garden one day to make a bird table I was only out for around 2 hours and that was enough for me,

the tour will be coming through my city next year Sheffield I would not miss it for the world :-).

Last few days have set the local norwegian high temp. record +34.9 makes up for the mean local winter temp. -20 for 4 months ( dec - mar ).

Just woke up and can hear an awful lot of grumbulation and general devilment outside.

SWMBO brought my Tea and Cucumber Sandwiches and reports Lightning and also that Rain has just started.

 

[sonnetpete]

Yes, it looks like you'll have rumblings pretty well all day (it's eating cucumber sarnies in bed).....

One large storm came over very early in the morning and that was it.

 

[rolfw]

Nothing here at all, seems we slipped between the storm clouds.

 

[Lazarus]

Yay. Some proper rain right now - the steadt stuff that might just soak in to the soil rather than run off.

Champion.

 

[Captain Jack]

Lots and lots of lightning here at 3am last night and a few rumbles of thunder - were more of "heat lightnings" but were very bright indeed. A little rain but now I am sat in sweat again as it's so humid

 

[smoggy07]

Paid a visit to someone in Luton last night and from about 11pm onwards noticed loads of lightning out to the south of us but heard no thunder at all and it was dry as a bone all night until we left at around 3am ish

Didn't get any real rain until we hit Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire on the M1

I slept most of today but I know its been a dry/warm one

 

[Piltdownpaul]

Last night was awesome here, had the live lightning strike page on the pc watching the storms developing and walloping us in Leicestershire. At 2am i had to go sleep though, work beckoned in the morning.

 

[Archived-1]

The thunder woke me up twice in the night, its been on and off here most of the day, this was about an hour ago.
