Why shouldn’t they/we. Everyone has free will and choice.

I met up with a fellow parent with her 3 year old daughter to play with my son at the park today. Pleasant Spring day, fantastic community facility, been waiting all winter for a few dry days to get to the park!
 

Separate to us their were several grandparents there with their grandchildren happily playing. 

Why should you?

Well, because even though you might not care about the risk to your own health, there's a risk you could pass the virus onto other people who could end up seriously ill or dead.

The advice has been given for a reason.

Even in a normal summer today wasn’t great and tomorrow looks grim. 

Nah, after the last few days, tomorrow looks FANTASTIC!

Tomorrow could be the worst day of the entire summer. Which is typical as we were supposed to be going to the beach for my dad’s birthday.

People may moan about tenperatures in the 30s, but they don’t prevent you from fulfilling outdoor plans, as long as you are sensible about it.

Everyone stuck indoors on a summer Sunday - for those who think that’s good weather, I’ll never understand your logic.

Actually, when temperatures and humidity were like they were over the past 48 hours down here, it was impossible to get anything done without breaking into a sweat and feeling ill. It was hell. Not a single person I've spoken to was enjoying it. Perhaps the heat without the humidity but it was a bit overkill!

I'm keeping an eye on the massive storm to the N/NW of Paris, seems to be heading in our general direction! 

Yeah, it looks like the stuff leaving Paris is joining up with the stuff further to the west and heading our way. On the last radar update there were a few showers starting ahead of it too.

I reckon within at most an hour for something to hit the Medway area!

Still waiting....

Looking at the radar, there's some building up in France at the moment which might hit us in Medway a bit later.

Hopefully!

The Met office have just updated their weather warning to include most of the southeast now for storms:

Of course they were ED, they just more polite about it in those days.

And now, with the internet, moaning isn't limited to the next door neighbour, you can do it to an entire website!

Current observation from the backgarden - Blimey! (32.6 currently)

[Who else cant wait for this heatwave to end??]

Not just you!

The minute it starts raining (hopefully for a few good weeks solid, with some decent storms) and the temperature drops by at least 10c won't be a minute too soon.

Roll on Autumn and winter.

Summer 2018 you can disappear now, thanks, you're getting boring.

Hopefully we'll get a breakdown where the rain & storms last as long as the last few boring weeks. Either that or 2 months of snow in winter!

I've been lurking for a week or so but just want to say thanks to everyone for a fun few days! Kind of sad to see the beast departing but quite looking forward to seeing it warm up a little (although not too much as I hate hot weather - apart from when it storms....!)
