Scotland - North 2007

[JennieAtkinson]

Another scorcher here today - well 16 degrees! After yesterdays wind and rain we all thought that the summer had been and gone. But blue skies, sunshine and a light breeze. Oh just bliss! Sun still shining now and last night it was light until 9.15 pm.

[JennieAtkinson]

Yet another glorious day! Temps only making 17 degrees but it feels wonderful with blue skies and a gentle wind. Driving home earlier in the half light, the sky was completley blue, not a cloud, but temperature still maintaining 10 degrees. Had a wander around the garden in a lovely blue light.

Apparently we have the same forecast for the next four days. Yippeee!

Apparently Shetland was the sunniest place in the UK today

Wall to wall sunshine all day. Pity that it never made it over 9 degrees.

Possible frost tomorrow night

Gale force winds easing and should be nice and bright and still, but sadly with frost.

Last week has been warm and dry but with fresh to strong winds. Had a full days rain yesterday, but it didn't penetrate more than 5mm - wind saw to that. Everything is being dessicated !
Forecast for weekend is sun and showers with temps down to just above freezing at night and climbing no higher than 12 during the day.
I WANT RAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want warmer overnight temps and a few more degrees during the day. Of water, I have plenty.

[Birdie Wife]

More showers today, and feeling cold. Echo what Alice says, but then we did have a wonderful spring so I'm not complaining too much! bugs still not out in any force, not even had to go picking slugs yet.

Snowy showers for us tomorrow - eeek ....

Me and my big mouth !!! Not only did I get rain (timed to perfection as I had just planted out my winter cabbages), it was followed by hailstones (pretty big 'uns at that) then finally by a shower of sleet !!
Still, at least the soil got wet !!

We had hail the size of garden peas ~ 11AM

[Nicos]

Sorry about that!- my daughter and her boyfriend are wildcamping up with you lot for 10 days so it should start to improve by the time they return

[JennieAtkinson]

Thankfully only went down to 2 degrees last night and although a cold northerly wind, its brilliant sunshine! Yay! But horrendous black clouds everywhere, so at some point I think we may have some stormy weather.

[JennieAtkinson]

Six days of either strong or gale force winds - the garden is just laid flat! Yesterday the winds were so strong and from such a weird direction that even the broad beans INSIDE the polytunnel were laid flat!

Calmer today, but more forecast

[JennieAtkinson]

WARM sunshine, wall to wall blue skies, no rain and NO WIND!!!!!!

Its an absolutely fantastic day - so lets hope June will continue like this.

[JennieAtkinson]

Well that was shortlived By seven o'clock last night the wind was up again at gale force and has been like it all day! Been overcast, and grey too.
