  1. Another gorgeous day here but some trees really showing signs of stress now under the really dry conditions. Some tree leaves turning an autumnal yellow and red colour. Easy to tell it is water stress though as this occurring at the top of the trees, thus occurring where leaves recieve the maximum light and heat and are obviously also furthest from the root systems and water source. 

    Our front lawn is completely brown now. 

  2. 2nd day of wall to wall sunshine. Hazier today but have avoided most of it here. Very warm too and the BBQ will be lit later on. :D

    cant say this summer has been a bad one. Ok perhaps the best of it hasn't fallen at the weekends but that is always likely when the weekend is only 2 days long of course in a week. June was wet but we avoided the worst of the gloom imo and since July it has been very dry. We have had some very good sunny days and throughout the summer it has generally been warm. 

    Certainly not a summer to remember for long but considering the dross since 2007, one of the better ones. :)

    Yes not a good day here. Not cold but just grey. As usual Cornwall enjoying the sunshine so hoping this theme continues when I get back there next weekend. :)

    Loving the darker mornings now,really making a difference,so much more easy just to roll over and put the snooze button on!! Probably not a good thing!

    Indeed it is more tempting to keep pressing the snooze button. Thankfully for a large majority, we are still some way off proper dark mornings/evenings. I do like the cosyness of dark evenings in winter. Just wish there was more daylight in the morning to help wake me up.

  5. Given the high pressure that looks to set up to our east (and especially if it sits over Scandinavia) seems likely to be a fair deal stronger than the one that brought the July plume, I would be surprised if the Atlantic found it so easy to sweep through this time. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Atlantic attack delayed somewhat - has happened a fair few times before if I am correct. 

    Also looks to be a possible good scope for a rinse and repeat pattern. Even if the Atlantic does break through somewhat, I am not seeing troughs wanting to sit over us. The core of low heights looks to be well to our NW in the upcoming period.

  6. Very pleasant last couple of days here in the far south west. Beaches are busy and best of all, Falmouth Week is just beginning. Lots going on and something for everyone. Very tempted to go to the Wurzels and Cider evening on Sunday! :D
