Summer 2014 thread

Hopefully it'll cool down quite a bit and we'll see the end of this horrible warm spell. I'll certainly be glad to see the cool, wet and windy conditions back in control...lovely..... We've had the warmth, time for something different.

Hopefully it'll warm up quite a bit and we'll see the continuance of this lovely warm spell. I'll certainly be glad to see the cool, wet and windy conditions stay away...lovely..... We've had the warmth, time for something the same.

Yes of course it does, I hate it and wish I had the money to live somewhere where it is like this all year round, but I don't so am stuck here with this awful weather at least 9 months of the year.

Pity that...maybe you should try and save, or have a whipround...I'll chip in a fiver.

Only a bit of banter....don't take it so seriously....if I offended you I apologise.

... seems very juxtaposed, that does.

It's an oxymoron.

 

Seriously hope a NW/SE split is not developing.

Approaching 27c in the bedroom this morning, how is that fun? The dog doesn't want to go out because he gets too hot and the usual streams and ponds have dried up to nothing, can't open windows to cool the house when the sun goes down because the midges invade, got bitten by a horse fly yesterday. Hayfever still annoying. Bring on the hurricanes and megablizzards.

Yes, I was bitten by a horsefly the other morning while walking the dogs. I had a T-shirt on because it was too warm for a coat or sweater. My arm went red and was swollen for two days. Got to watch it doesn't get infected.

Any outsiders looking into this forum would think its full of typical Brits complaining over a couple of days of heat.

I'm sure the Atlantic will be here soon for all those hiding in a blacked out room in their cellar.

I think I swatted it away before it could bite properly, hurt and made a bite mark though but not the symptoms you have, sounds nasty that.

Lol...I don't want to be in a blacked out cellar...just need it to be a little cooler.

Yeah..it itches like mad but its gone down now...has a couple of little blisters on though..hope there aren't a thousand little horsefly larvae waiting to hatch out.....lol.

I'd have to agree that 27℃in your bedroom is to much, I work as a chef and on the rare occasion that it does get hot outside, the working environment becomes unbearable. Luckily for us folk right on the coast of NE England we rarely exceed the low 20's which is fine by me. On the up-side of being a chef its lovely and warm in the winter months...

 

Half an hour ago here in 'sunny shields'...

A bit of trolling going on in this thread at the moment. I dont like winter but dont go invading the winter discussion proclaiming how horrible the cold and dark of winter is. By all means make a summer moaning thread but dont spam this thread with monotonous negativity. Meanwhile, over here its a much better day than yesterday with the low cloud vanished back to the North Sea.

God, I really do feel for the people on the North Sea coasts sometimes. Watching everyone else get sunny skies and pleasantly warm temperatures, while they're stuck with the rubbish cool weather under the sea frets. Must really be frustrating sometimes.

Yeah, it can and does get frustrating, but when the westerly regime resumes everybody starts to complain about falling temperatures when actually they rise here.. Still it would be fun to join in with the rest of the country but that' aint never gonna happen' in an easterly unless we refloat Doggerland..!!

Solent MRSC topping the table at the moment at 27c.

I often go to my favourite,secluded North Sea coastal spot on me mo'bike just for that, and to leave all the heat,the sun,the general hideousness of the season and the hordes of peasants it is so good at extracting from the woodwork behind. And when the missus has done with the parasol and summer has done with us, I'm going to reinforce it with scaffold pole in anticipation of Autumn's delights.

Im sure a rocky outcrop at Flamborough Head would have suited you just fine yesterday

We have this cold and wet weather for 90% of the year anyway. I just don't understand how anyone would want it the same for the last 10% too. Oh well enjoy your vitamin D deficiency.

I'm wondering if there is a chance of a 32C down here today. It was officially 30C just outside of Portsmouth yesterday, and right now my back yard is 2C up on where it was yesterday, with light winds (unlike yesterday), no clouds (again unlike yesterday). Very very nice in the shade, a bit bonkers in direct sunshine!

I'm impressed - that's the very place I go to!  Alas, work prevents me from going this week... or the next,and the one after etc. Must be hot today, even our cats only spent a few minutes outside - up until today they've been happy to mooch around outdoors all day.

25.5c here currently which is almost 2c up on yesterday. If it keeps like this i wouldn't be surprised if we reached 28c possibly even 29c.

No need to apologise, just though it was a poor effort, and had to go out so didn't have time to post properly, I like a bit of banter and take nothing too serious.
