  1. Cloudy, damp and drizzly, anyone know where’s our summer gone.
  2. Hmm cricket, that’s a thought. only a 10 minutes walk and a good bar although they were probably playing today instead. reached 23c here so hardly the heat of other parts of Europe or even down south but got a sweat on giving what’s still alive of the the grass it’s first cut for nearly a month.
  3. Yeah it's decent here, not overly hot but a decent temperature to be doing a few outside jobs without feeling drained. tomorrow looking warmer though so it could well be a beer garden afternoon. .
  4. Heavy rain until lunchtime and then plenty of showers since. After what we’ve been used to lately, a poor day’s weather but hopefully it’s just a blip before dry and warm returns in a day or two’s time.
  5. It’s been dark all night as well but at least it knew when it was time to sod off
  6. I really need to go to the recycling centre to get shut of a load of old wood which has been filling my car since yesterday but it’s still peeing it down.
  7. Absolutely hammering in it down here. nothing else to say really other than although no doubt it won’t prevent the hose pipe ban, it should at least stop any need for me having to use the damn thing.
  8. Just been stood outside while I let the dog out and it’s certainly a lot cooler tonight than for what seems like months. Poor day overall, especially when the bar has been set so high this summer and Sunday is looking even worse with heavy rain replacing heavy showers but hopefully it dries up again early next week. i just want my summer back.
  9. Peeeing it down and breezy but at least it will freshen things up a bit. just a shame it came in time to ruin a well earned weekend.
  10. Got to 30c here late afternoon, not bad for a mainly cloudy day. dry until about 10 minutes ago when we had a few heavy drops of nice cooling rain but it’s stopped now.
  11. Cloudy start but brighter and a bit of sunshine as the afternoon went on and a decent 26c. These conditions suit me fine and the SE can keep its 33.5 c with their hopes for even record breaking temperatures. i like that type of stuff but only when they are part of a holiday, a pool and an all inclusive drinks package......not when i’m working.
  12. Maybe the hotter than a hot thing heatwave that they are all craving is getting on top of them a bit now. what they need is a good old NW region cloudy spell to cool them down a bit.
  13. This mornings forecast said NW England would see the best of the sunshine today with more cloud on Sunday. after today’s letdown of wall to wall cloud, occasional drizzle and a max temperature of 17c I just hope to god they got it the wrong way round.
  14. Damp cloudy start but the suns coming through again. after yesterdays blip, the return of summer?
  15. Get today out of the way and hopefully several dry and warm days to follow. summer 2018, the gift that keeps on giving.
  16. I hope me being as far east in the North West means my summer carries on. its not often I want to live in Yorkshire but........
  17. Not much rain today but after it looked like brightening up late afternoon it’s a bit heavier at the moment. currently 15c and with a maximum of only 16c one of the lowest temperatures of the summer so far. lets hope the dreaded SE/NW split isn’t about to set up with us looking on tearfully while the summer carries on darn sarf.
  18. Well that lot should put a bit of green back into the grass around these parts.
  19. Same here, we’ve lived in this house for 22 years and the lawns are browner than i’ve ever seen them. heavy showers both Thursday and Friday mornings put down about 5mm of rain between them but it’s hardly made any difference and with today’s heat, the grass has probably dried out even more. i don’t want an end to this fantastic summer but some decent rain would be welcome.
  20. Heavyish shower first thing this morning and I pretty sure our first rain here since 16th June but probably only enough to put a 24 hour halt to the grass browning and nothing to bring the green back. back to cloud with bits of sun and humid since.
  21. Plenty of overcast but nowt from it although i’m sure I saw a spot of rain on the windscreen on the way home from work. its certainly coming to something though when we’re getting excited about the chance of rain but the gardens need it.
  22. Grass fire completely closed the southbound A56 Accrington bypass, a few miles away but maybe that’s where the smell of burning here is coming from.
  23. A few threatening looking clouds over the Pennines this afternoon but another day of wall to wall sunshine, no rain and a 27c + temperature. it’s a bit hazy now though and the air air is full of the stench of burning so there must be a fire somewhere locally.
