markyo We’re so different, there’s no ‘stench’ in spring or summer for me, I love the smell of the air in these seasons. There’s definitely a smell of decay in autumn, but I enjoy the bonfire scent. Having covid 4 times has really messed up my sense of smell, though. Mainly cloudy here today with more interesting cloudscapes but my area dodged the thunderstorms. Felt pleasantly warm (19°C) despite the cloud.

markyo What wonderful smells are there in autumn? Bonfires? To me, it generally smells of decay and death. Though I quite like the season if it’s misty/foggy with mellow sunshine

Some great cloudscapes today here

Another decent day here in Czechia. More cloud but some good sunny spells with scattered thunderstorms (sadly, none hit my location). A respectable and pleasant 21°C attained.

markyo Isn’t autumn your favourite season, where the ‘stench of death’ is literally everywhere?

Wade Hmm, I didn’t mention any barring of thunderstorms I love them!

A beautiful day here in Czechia, mainly sunny, very light winds and 22°C. Some thunderstorms developed on the horizon but didn’t get close. But great to see

Wade The farming community wouldn’t agree with you, they’re having loads of problems as too much rain is as bad as not enough. And there’s certainly been too much over the last 8 months or so. A nice green landscape is lovely. Plants need sun too.

MP-R Fair enough, it’s been relentlessly wet for so long, a few weeks without rain shouldn’t be an issue at all. Dark Horse Hopefully a pattern change very soon. The trees and flora in general will be using up more moisture now

In Absence of True Seasons It’s raining here in Czechia. After some warm, sunny but stupidly windy days, admittedly. I’m pleased it’s raining here, as the ground was getting very hard and I’m laying a paved path, so it’s a bit softer now, thankfully. Unbelievably, much of Czechia is going into a rainfall deficit, despite lots of rain a few months ago. Definitely feel for you in the UK, it’s been relentless, months and months of wet weather. It doesn’t have to stop completely, just be interspersed by decent periods of sunshine. A very hard ask, it seems Some interesting clouds today in Czechia, but no thunder (as yet)

Heading back to a warm Czechia this morning for 10 days or so, it’s a very gloomy start at Heathrow and feeling chilly

MP-R it was 2007, got my years mixed up!

MP-R Yeah, I do remember quite a long run of fairly sunny days but it only reached around 21°C each day, which to me isn’t overly warm in August. Though with my memory at the moment, I could be mixing years up

Lucked out today in west London, plenty of blue sky and sunshine and a pleasant 19°C, despite that wind

*Stormforce~beka* it’s always blowing a hurricane these days. Both here and in Central Europe. Just the direction changes. Of course, if 30°C is breached, the omnipresent wind magically disappears
