The half Mauritian in me decided to go and top up the tan today to get some vitamin D before I go for my 2nd Pfizer vaccine at 3.30. Loving this weather warm but not too hot IMO perfect for outdoors activities

Recorded a few hours timelapse today, Phone cameras a bit broken but just looks like I have a filter over it lol.

Morning all..

Amazing growing weather now this year..  sun rain sun rain I've never quite seen the rodies with so many flowers and the growth on trees and shrubs is incredible.. in the nursery some of our bamboo is doing 2-4 inches a day! We haven't even  had to water that much...

Wall to wall blue skies here... the front cleared us late yesterday.. with a top temp of 21c still not bad despite the cloud cover 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Same old same old picking out the worst charts every time because they don't personally enjoy summer weather... for me it's the best time of year.. everyone is happy and everything looks so green and healthy...

Judging by the gfs 00z plenty more summer weather to come and hotting up!

The growing rate is astonishing - my clematis Betty Corning is always a quick grower but this year it seems to have mated with your bamboo.....

[Blazerblue]

Started with blue skies, clouds are slowly building, see some rising up to the west of here, will we get any thunder?? Probably not  Temp 21c already.

just cloud here. Not worried too tried to worry if the heat will keep me awake or not later 

[Atmogenic]

Had a walk around the fields close to Godinton house yesterday

Dark cloud behind me

Phone cameras gone though think water got into the picture bit.

Been there before for a beavers/cubs trip when I was about 7 don't have great memories though as there was a Thunderstorm which was fine in itself but a dinner lady got struck by lightning and I don't know what happened to her to this day, there was an ambulance and everything, was probably a negative CG and maybe only slightly hit her because the trip continued when it probably wouldn't have if she'd have died.

Sitting in the sun it feels really warm. No sign of any showers yet although a few darkish clouds about....

[Wimbledon88]

Ominous clouds above the new sky pool in London. 

[Blazerblue]

Cloudy afternoon after a high of 22c at lunch, very very light rain for about 5 minutes this afternoon, so that was boring. Allegedly some heavier rain showers tomorrow aft/evening that may (or most likely may not) have some thunder/lightening. 

[Captain Shortwave]

Not too bad, quite a bit of cloud and a couple of showers, but warm when the sun came out. A high of around 22c with barely a breath of wind.

[Crepuscular Ray]

Lovely afternoon in Hailsham, not far from the Sussex coast, with a spread of mackerel sky at one point.

The view from the train window out of points south of London Bridge of the shower clouds to the north helped me to calm down from my first encounter with "Mind the gap between the train and the platform" in over a year.

Lovely day here today, and now a low lying sea fog coming in.

 

[Captain Shortwave]

There was a brief shower this morning that was unexpected (especially due to the lack of significant cloud cover). Lots of sunshine with some patchy cloud and it feels humid outside.

[Freeze]

Chillier today under the cloud, 15c

[Timmytour]

Bit taken aback by the rain late last night.   I thought we'd esCAPEd the thunderstorms mentioned as possible for late afternoon, but ti seems they decided to arrive a lot later instead!  

[suffolk lady]

Been wall to wall sunshine all day here, looks like we have hit the jackpot for a change as even the breeze is pleasant

[Blazerblue]

Cloud burnt off by 11am and been blue skies since, up to 23c and doesn’t look like any chance of a storm today, NE looks in sweet spot. 

[Freeze]

Reached 18c once the cloud cleared early afternoon, with a nice breeze. Currently 17c

[Captain Shortwave]

Plenty of sunshine here this morning, the temperatures are rising nicely and we should hit the mid-twenties again.

 

A high of 24c today with fairly low humidity.

had a lovely one here but breeze picking up so taking the edge off earlier very warm temps.

[Freeze]

19c reached, was quite humid too.

[lottiekent]

Funny old day round here - woke in the night at 4:50 (already light of course) and it was thick fog. 
Got up at 7am and it was sunny. By 8:30 it was misty again but that burnt away by 10ish. 
Then a drive across town on my lunch took me through patches of fog, mostly near to the sea so I guess it was rolling in from there.

Clear and calm again now, temp down to 12.9c after a high of 20.7c mid-afternoon.
