Scotland /Alba weather discussion 2020

[shuggee]

Same type of day here. Sheltered under trees during one of those showers:

[Sanserit]

Decent day here apart from the ninja shower that popped up early afternoon. Apart from that it was a reasonably warm wind that was blowing with temperatures reaching 22c just after 5 though it plummeted fairly sharpish after that.

I'm quick to gurn when the weather is bad so only fair to jump on here when it's great outside! Lovely day. Calm, blue sky and pleasantly warm. Perfect autumn day. More please

[mardatha]

Lovely day here too - for once!

[NUT]

Yep a useable day here too. Mix of sun/cloud and wind's a lot lighter than it has been last couple of days

Same here, the breeze has a chill to it but it's mostly light and in the sun it feels warm. Not a day you could complain about at all. 

Whilst I was out tidying the garden my wife jarred up the honey we took off the beehives last weekend, and which we spun out of the comb during the week. 

Roughly 60lbs and there's some in a bowl, from a hive we only took it from yesterday. We'll jar that up later and  keep it for ourselves, probably another 4-5lbs? The rest will get labelled ready for sale as the wife already has several orders from her school. 

Added to maybe 25-30lbs we took off late spring (were very bad at keeping records) it's not a bad haul overall, especially since it wasn't exactly a great summer.

@Ravelin how much do you charge for a jar and can you deliver to Ellon??

[snowidea]

@Ravelin the honey looks impressive. Nice day here today, I'm enjoying seeing the start of Autumn in the trees, just a few leaves turning at the moment. Find of the week for me was a buzzard feather which is now in a frame by my desk.

Lovely mellow Autumn day.

Actual weather not that different from previous days, dry with variable amounts of cloud/sunshine.

The key difference, no wind!  Calm conditions allowing temperatures to get up to 16c and a toasty 28c in the greenhouse.

[101_North]

Back to pish today! Cold, grey, windy with heavy showers. Lovely stuff! 

[Mair Snaw]

Same here today.. the heating even came on over night for the first time since we moved in so I've been round and turned the individual thermostats down.. heating in September not in my house. Pop another pair of socks on and a jumper.

[Ravelin]

Maybe not today, but for the last few days the farmers around here have been going full speed with the harvest.

 

[NUT]

Had a pretty wet night now it's turned drizzly breezy but pretty humid

[Sanserit]

Damp start on Deeside but it turned into a pretty good day with a high of 23.6c, a bit of sunshine to end the afternoon and ground dry enough to cut the grass which was desperately needing it. Even now, the temperature's still sitting up at 18.5c which is better that most days in August at this time of day.

[Quinach]

Welcome to summer redux.

Max of 21c, bit wet first thing but soon drying up to leave a bright dry day. 

Light to fresh winds, those very warm feeling so very pleasant outside all day.

[shuggee]

16.3°C max with brightness interspersed with blowy drizzle. Meh. 

[Mair Snaw]

A decent start here this morning. Time to get the kids over the park for some P.E. looks like a good week ahead for this area.

Mrs Snaw keeps going on about weather apps and so i was wondering if others in here use them and if so what ones and are they any good?

[Northernlights]

Fine harvest morning and early afternoon with strong wind, sunshine and a maximum 20c   .Later clouded over with rain becoming heavy in evening.but humid as well at 14c. No harvesting up  in  this area tomorrow. Stored some dried out onions before rain after such a drying day. Even after tonights rain it will probably dry up quickly as ground is just pure dust if you dig it.

[Quinach]

Another cracking day, max of 21c again with light to fresh winds. 

Beautifully sunny in the morning but clouded over by lunchtime to leave bright conditions at best.

Installed the bubble insulation in the greenhouse today in readiness for winter, so probably doomed this lovely spell of weather  

And no house martins to be seen for a second day, get feeling they have left for the year.

[Mair Snaw]

@Quinach still loads of them here.. can wait for them to bugger off.. keep flying in to my patio doors..

Its smashing it down with rain here now after a wonderful day and evening.

We also have an 11 year old Autistic who has nothing more than a cold but is freaking out that he has the killer bug from the news and social media. Its gonna be a very long night..

I've been using WeatherPro by Meteo Group for a number of years and find it to be pretty accurate.

Been another fine day here on Deeside, reaching 23.6c in my garden this afternoon. Was nice to be able to eat lunch outdoors and catch up on some garden chores too.

[Sanserit]

Laptop wouldn't update my photo library so here’s a couple from dusk tonight. 
 

[NUT]

Not gonna last too long but all of a sudden teaming down with rain and wind's really got up too

[Mair Snaw]

Just seen the weather over in Denver.. around freezing and blizzards. By Thursday 28c... thats just mental. How is that even possible??

[101_North]

Turned out a horrible evening! Went up the Pentlands on my bike to face horizontal drizzle and a face on gale! Back home, dry with a whisky in me and listening to the wind and the rain lashing off the window!
