Sun came out, felt really humid in Glasgow.

[Northernlights]

Sun tryed to come  out here  mid afternoonbut very humid and warm at 24c maximum.

Harvest lice and midges in abundance but very little drying up going on with grass still wet from dew this morning.

[Puffy MacCloud]

Sky cleared by teatime sufficiently for me to partake of a couple of beers on the patio in the company of a plethora of flying insects.

The temperature got up to 23.8⁰C at 15:05 and pressure has now risen to 1031.0hPa and still rising.

Back to Aberdeenshire Permagloom™ today, but that rarer form with high humidity and a remarkable high of 21.3c considering the sun never broke through.

Thick fog overnight, that clinging to the local hills for a good part of the day.

[mardatha]

Turned nice here too, I see the East Lothian FB groups are going mad about those wee harvest mite beasties, everybody moaning about bites. I haven't seen them down here so far, we just seem to have an awful lot of wasps.

21.2C yesterday. Went up high:

 

[Puffy MacCloud]

Some nice, big, well broken clouds are about but plenty of blue sky and sunshine as well, and we must be right under the high pressure here as there's absolutely not a breath of wind. Nice and warm too. Heading up to Eaglesham for a bit of lunch now and then a wander round some gardens somewhere, apparently.

Temperature now up to 23.6⁰C from a minimum of 10.7⁰C at 05:44, humidity is 71%, wind is zero, pressure is 1031.6hPa steady, there’s been 0.2mm of rain overnight and cloud cover is 4/8.

[Northernlights]

Fabulous blue sky day now although barley grains still soft so no combining today . Just been speaking to my wintering sheep man in Skye and he was saying that they have had a better summer than 1976 and I had to say we are the same here. Not often the north of Scotland has the best summer weather.Currently 23c

[Kirkcaldy Weather]

A lot lower the high here of 18.6C tbh I prefer that than 25+.

[Puffy MacCloud]

Yesterday's temperature topped out at 25.2⁰C and, although today started off a wee bit overcast, it soon cleared with wall to wall blue and decent warmth.

Maximum temperature today was 24.4⁰C at 15:02 up from a minimum of 12.1⁰C at 02:54, humidity bottomed out at 67% at 15:07, wind was 0 to 6mph southeasterly, pressure reduced from 1030.4hPa at midnight to 1024.6hPa now, there was no rain in the last 24 hours and cloud cover for most of the day was 0/8.

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Well a heatwave is happening here………

[Norrance]

Not as warm here but very pleasant in the sunshine at max of 20.5C which was a touch down on yesterday. Sun looked huge at it went down to the West this evening through a slight haze tho photo doesn't do it justice.

[Halfamilefromnowhere]

Yet another glorious day here, we have now had weeks of fantastic weather and apart from one exceptionally wet name when the thunderstorms hit depositing 1.75 inches of rain in 18 hours it has been very very dry.  Just home from visiting family in Northern France and they, like southern England have had regular huge dumplings of rain all the way through summer.

[Puffy MacCloud]

Much like yesterday, today started off completely overcast and chilly but by lunchtime the sky was clear blue and a satisfying degree of degrees had set in. The only difference was that today saw a short period of light rain falling just before sunrise.

Maximum temperature was 23.6⁰C at 17:06 up from a minimum of 12.8⁰C at 04:33, humidity bottomed out at 45% at 16:58, wind was 0 to 7mph northerly to north-northwesterly, pressure has been pretty constant around 1023.4hPa, there was 0.2mm of rain in the early hours and cloud cover went from 8/8 in the morning to 0/8 in the afternoon and evening.

[Quinach]

Gorgeous day.

Max temperature of 16.5c, but it felt a lot warmer than that in the strong sunshine and generally light winds.

Sound of combines all around today.  Plus the House Martins are looking very unsettled, noisy and flocking in large groups - another sign that summer is coming to a close.

[mardatha]

Slight change here as in cool misty grey mornings but the cloud always breaks away late morning and ends up hot   Wee apple tree going great guns, freezer full of apple crumble and neighbours the same - amazing how many apples you can get off one tree just 6ft tall.

[Puffy MacCloud]

Groundhog day.

At 9am the sky was completely overcast and the temperature was 12⁰C, now, at noon, the sky has cleared to 2/8 cover and the temperature is up to 18⁰C, humidity is 68%, wind is very light, pressure is 1025hPa steady and there’s been no rain in the last 24 hours.

Last Friday of the month so the team is preparing to put a full shift in at the pub tonight, starting at 16:00, and it looks like a beer garden rendez-vous for at least the first half. Hoorah!

[Northernlights]

Finally lost the misty drizzly nights and today turned into a warm sunny afternoon allowing us to cut the last field of spring barley which was undersown with grass making it very slow to dry. Harvest 2021 is done in August. Maximum 17c

[NUT]

as you we're with the weather here basically  maybe bit more hazy with high cloud today but still lovely

[shuggee]

Glorious at 21.6C. 

[Northernlights]

First geese heard this morning but not seen as they passed overhead in the low cloud. Cool and dull today mostly dry apart from a bit of drizzle now and then.Good day for weeding garden after harvest distraction.

[Puffy MacCloud]

Yesterday started off overcast as it has for the last week it seems, and then, as usual, cleared up in the afternoon to a mere hint of a veil of high-level cloud that allowed the temperature to reach 19.8⁰C at teatime, up from a minimum temperature of 6.8⁰C overnight.

Today started off overcast but, by way of a change, stayed overcast throughout the day pegging the maximum temperature back to 18.0⁰C at 16:21 reducing to a minimum of 10.7⁰C at 21.48, humidity got down to 65% at 17:41, wind has been 0 to 6mph northeasterly, pressure has gone from 1027.3hPa at 05:42 to 1028.8hPa now, still rising slowly, there’s been no rain in the last 48 hours and cloud cover is 8/8, as it has been all day.

[Norrance]

Cloudy this morning and again in the evening here but the sun came out this afternoon and it felt warm enough with a max of 17.8C.

I see Stornoway had its driest Summer (assuming nothing ridiculous tomorrow)  since 1880.

Today has remained overcast all day, like yesterday, rather than clearing to a broad blue sky as has been the way of things for the last couple of weeks. I take this, together with lengthening shadows, a change in the flowers bursting into bloom, a hint of coming coolness, the whiff of moisture in the air and the behaviour of seasonal birds as being signs that Summer is nearly over.

Also, tomorrow is the 31st of August, which is the day before the first day of Autumn; ergo…

Maximum temperature today was 15.1⁰C at 13:03 up from a minimum of 11.7⁰C at 05:27, humidity has been 71% to 75%, wind 0 to 10mph northeasterly, pressure has hovered a couple of points either side of 1030hPa and remains steady, there’s been no rain in the last 24 hours and cloud cover has been 8/8 throughout.
