Once again the media hyping up England beyond real expectations. The draw really opened up for them and they were beaten by the only two decent teams they faced. Still, you can only beat what's in front of you and the semi finals were a great achievement.

Indeed Pom. A welcome bit of rain tomorrow but not enough before HP builds back in.

Apparently I'll get some rain tomorrow!! This is crazy talk, surely?

Looks that way. Drought continues this week, then flood next week.

Never seen my garden like this after 13 years living in Norn Iron. Yellow and scorched.

The feature of the modelling this drought filled Summer is that the models keep putting back any breakdown. I really thought that a breakdown was coming after next weekend, now I'm not so sure.

NI water is still nationalised. No water meters here, Scotland's the same I think.

Next two weeks....zero rain and scorchio to continue

It's not lack of water, it's the lack of 'treated' water. The treatment plants cannot cope with the demand hence the hosepipe ban.

Showing 34 degress at Auchtermuchty now, that reading cannot be right.

32.3 at Auchtermuchty at 12.43pm, surely will break the record of 32.8 in the next couple of hours?.. https://www.metcheck.com/WEATHER/now_and_next.asp?zipcode=Auchtermuchty

That 30.8 would match the record if confirmed.

Keep an eye on those thermometers. A chance that the NI temp record may go later this afternoon.

Yeeeeeesssssss !!!!! Greatest Scottish cricket victory ever.

Doesn't look promising for storms in the North East now. Received very little from the cell that moved up the North channel. Storms breaking our widely in the West though.
