So, this heatwave

[terrier]

The heatwave should arrive in Staffordshire on the 25 July and last until the 8 August as that's when we'll be away on holiday.

That'll do me as long as it stretches to the north west. I'm going to spend some time on Anglesey and it gets a bit bleak there when the weather is on a downer. Roll on Summer

here we are saying roll on summer and yet reading about 'planning your garden for the winter' (thanks GYO )

Can I order a mini heatwave for weekend of 7th August please, I am going camping in the New Forest with a bunch of pals

"feels and looks like autumn out there"

That's exactly what OH said when he'd been to feed the chickens last night.

Had 7.9mm of rain yesterday, put plenty of water into the water butts, i need the sun on my Sweetcorn.!!

I have a jumper on standby here.!

On a plus point, today was forecast as being bobbins but has actually been quite nice and I needed my sunglasses on at the lottie this afternoon. Hopefully tomorrow will be better than forecast also as I need to do some digging before I plant out some brassicas.

I think our weather may be about to turn....
But we have had a long warm and dry spell (apart from storm thurs eve) and it has been great along the beach road and glorious views (I love living here)
But as its the school holidays, things are bound to change!

sorry folks, but the paper said it'll dry up a little this week before another cool wet front comes along ... so the predicted "barbecue summer" really was just a ruse to get us all to stay in the UK this year to boost the economy

[HeyWayne]

I will still be mostly wearing my 3/4 shorts until November.

I remember Claire Nasir (GMTV weather lady) looking all smug when one of the presenters said to her (during the wee hot spell we had some weeks ago) "and well done Claire, because you predicted that we'd have a long hot summer...."

Don't mind the temperature so much, enjoying the long days - but it was quite dark last night.

[HeyWayne]

S'pretty Les Miserables out their today - grey, raining, cool. Last night was quite fresh too.

I'm sure I saw a tree shedding leaves on my way in this morning!

[kiwirach]

dont worry, it'll all dry up soon.....i'm about to put up the shed on the lottie with attached butts....the rain will stop then!.

[Glutton4...]

Dull and grey here today, but warm. All my holiday laundry just had another good rinse! It's perking up a bit, and everything's grown like mad whilst we were away, and I now have an addiction to home-grown Peas - gonna grow half an acre of 'em next year lol!

[BumbleB]

Sorry folks, its still warm and sunny here. So far a good summer for us :-)
I am sure we will get our grey skies sometime - probably bang in the middle of August!

[lainey lou]

Sure sign the weather is crappolla, my house is spotless, ironing is done (yeah! I know!!!) AND I'm defrosting the freezer.
Wot a good girl am I!!

[Pumpkin Becki]

Sorry folks, its still warm and sunny here. So far a good summer for us :-)

I must be a total wuss then - coz I had a hot water bottle last night!!

[MaureenHall]

I feel like wearing socks today!! I don't mind cool feet, in fact I hate having hot feet, but this is just getting way beyond a joke!!!
