[Coopsy]

Just been out  - doesn't feel as hot as yesterday. Whether that's me getting used to it, lower humidity or lower temps I couldn't tell you

[Norfolk Sheep]

One word - soupy.

Utterly glorious summers day here in Bexleyheath. Hot, not a cloud in the sky. It can go like this all summer if it wants.

Yesterday was unbelievably hot and humid. It doesn't feel as oppressive today though. Just perfect!

No I’m still here in France but have come out of hibernation! Certainly been an interesting few months for the UK.

Reverse here, yesterday I was able to work outside in 30c temps because there was a strong onshore breeze. Today? Not even a sparrow's fart moving the trees....

[interested & confused]

Much breezier here today, makes it much more bearable, with a strong draught between front and back doors

Torrential rain here @05:30 cleared the air  capping our local temps to ~ 32/33c today

Huge potential tonight - Things starting to develop over NW france nicely...

[95 Degrees]

Another stunning day of many in Summer '18, 27c. was 33C were I was in Guildford yesterday, made for a great day out.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Now completely clouded over.. Finally made inroads here... 

[southbank]

We had the beast from the east and low 850 

then we had the thunder streamer in may with the most continuous lighting I have ever encountered

 

and this summer one of the best and may go with a bang today regarding the heat rather then the summer itself

 

 

if carlsberg did weather for us nuts then 2018 has made up for some real boring years of nothingness

Those showers coming out of North France are on an absolute mission.. The speed they are moving at..
