Weather 2008

I knew someone would spot my mistake, I meant 1 cubic metre.Still a rip off no matter what.

 

Lovely and sunny in Dunblane today, by a perishingly cold wind.

My garden is so dry the sparrows are using it to dust bathe. The was a very noisey gang present when I woke this morning.

On Tuesday evening the sprinklers was going for four hours yet on my return from the Burren it looks just like it was before I went.

The cathedral graveyard has scorched patches where a sunken gravestone is near the surface of the grass. Can't remember seeing that for many a year!

All your rain is down here with us 

But if it can prevent a few forest fires, I ain't complaining!

It is tipping it down - if they impose a hose ban this summer (whenever that arrives)....

Cloudless sunny day looking across the Antonine wall from my classroom this morning.

Anthony and the rest of the UK people:
It is Chloe and I who should say how great weather we have (teasingly) and You complain about the rain and not the way it is now with rain for us and sun for You. But as Chloe said less forrest fires and my newly planted bed also gets some water so I am only half complaining.

Kind regards
from Portugal where the rain now is always near now

After 46 days of sunshine with no rain the weather broke yesterday but only .5ml fell. The thermometer showed the lowest day time temperature during this time. 10c had people back in trousers and fleeces.

Had another monsoon deluge last night - at least it helps to remove weeds (still recovering from the 3 week holiday.

Drove back from Norwich to Devon today with torrential rain all the way along the M4. Judging by the state of my garden it must have been very windy whilst we have been away.

Here are a few sunset photos from Monday night. Anyone know their clouds and fronts? What's the long thin cloud called?

Looks like cirrus.  I was looking at them from the Argyll coast on Monday on our way home from Arduaine gardens

Well, after a scorching Saturday when I got thoroughly burnt cutting the grass and gardening my weeds, we have a rare dull day. Had to put the sprinkler on last night!

[mark smyth]

We had rain on Wednesday, 10ml, and on Thursday, 3ml, but when I went out to plant bedding yesterday the ground is still hard. 22c yesterday. We usually get the rubbish weather while southern England basks in sun. Now it is the other way round.

Last Saturday May 31st was our hottest day - 26.5c

Torrential rain last night from 1730 to 1830, followed by thunder and an inch of hail. My daughter, who lives 6 miles away had a dry evening!
