Now that gap I was talking about has grown from earlier

And the edge of the cloud has yet to venture that much further

Back to the painting..

Be interesting to see if it springs into life again when it reaches land

Meanwhile, enjoying the breezes that are  keeping it bearable!

Well, at least somebody in the area received some rain (even a little too much in a short time)

I knew it would all break up before it got any where near me. Just brings cloud to ruin my sun!!

20! Brrr!! That's cold lol

Well, I'm glad I picked today to paint the shed and ignored the forecasts, 16 drops of rain later, one half the shed done with two coats of wood paint. Tomorrow is hedge hacking time, as I'll ignore the forecast for tomorrow too. Maxed out at 26.6°C at: 12:37..

Beka, you'd be Ok in our house, it's still Current Indoor Temp. 27.6°C, and the windows are still open but the temperature isnt falling away..

Certainly is compared to yesterday, although it was warmer when the sun was out earlier. 

[Dean E]

Thought I'd had at least an hour after work in the sun this afternoon, sadly its clouded over now with a keen SE'ly breeze.

Radar really picking up over the IOW in the last 30 minutes. Can hear the first distant rumbles from those cells!

[Frosty hollows]

Peaked at 29C but wind kept it pleasant enough. Lots of high cloud now

[Rich_Clements]

Feeling humid here, cloud increasing.....

[Frosty hollows]

Just heard thunder....

[Dorsetbred]

Thunder & heavy rain to the west of us this morning

Thunder & heavy rain to the east of us tonight

Thunder & heavy rain to the North of us tonight

Meanwhile in the middle we sit, with 16drops of rain and nothing else....Grr....

And currently 17.7°C outside with Current Indoor Temp. 26.7°C, another hot sweltering night ahead, could we have some strong breeze and clouds so I can get the temperature down...please...

Santa ..please take note, I'd like one of these for Christmas pleeze..

A pretty boring day here. A lot of cloud, some sunny spells, and extremely windy for a time. Temp only reached 23.8°C

18th consecutive day without rain, too.

Been up around that in here too Although hubby is a fatty and wants all the windows open. This skinny mini wants them closed to keep the warm in lol. It'll gradually drop over the coming days ...

Although it is hot for sleeping!

After yet another failed thunderstorm warning for my area yesterday. Today looks to be heading the same way.

Still, looks like we will actually get some welcome rain. 

[knocker]

Currently Stratus and slight rain

[MP-R]

First proper rain in just over a month this morning. Very  welcome!
