Weather

[edzbird]

Well it was grey & drizzly yesterday - brightening up today and a good period of sunshine is forecast (next week would have been TT practice week - so the good weather is welcomed). Currently 14.9 degrees and it's not even 10am. Here comes summer.

Sunshine here and warm with it at 18 degrees , just perfect for pottering in the garden . Its a case of do a bit, sit down, do a bit more and of course I have helpers

 

[Boogie]

It’s overcast and warm here today - definitely shorts weather.

 

[Jacqui-S]

16 in my summerhouse, warmer outside, much warmer in house. That will reverse later on of course.

Yes - no socks on for the first time this year.

Too hot for Red’s lunchtime walk! We’ve played in the garden instead

It's 7.30am and 11 degrees and sunny....supposed to get to 18 today and at least that arctic wind has stopped. They are still forecasting rain later but no sign whatsoever right now. I'm getting nudged in the elbow - walkies time!

It’s going to be a beautiful day today! 22C and sunny...perfection!
Simba is wanting me to stop lounging around with my tea on the deck and get breakfast going! (It’s 8 AM here).

According to Google it is 19 degrees , it is a glorious day, just right for the garden party kicking off in an hour or so . The fridge is groaning with food , boxes ( plural you note ! ) of wine are cooling xx

I hear there is a heatwave in some parts of the UK? Nice one!

Here not so nice. We had to deploy puffer jackets for the first time and it has been drizzling all day. We do need some rain but ENOUGH already!

We had the most massive storm on Tuesday night. The wind was wild and the rain lashing down harder than I've ever seen here. J was out at the time, and I was running round mopping up puddles where the rain was pouring in some of the holes we still have in the structure (eg around the flue pipe in the wall because we were waiting until we didn't need it to get it 100% sealed. I even grabbed a plastic bag to take outside and shove in the hole to plug it, but I opened the door and thought, "bugger that!". I'd have been blown all the way to Barcelona!

J said all the cars were stopped on the main road because it was impossible to see anything!

Even more amazingly is that, even though it was hot and breezy here yesterday, which normally dries out the top layer of soil really quickly, it all still looks damp even this morning. The weather is wild this year!

A polar blast is hitting Eastern Australia and today is supposed to be the coldest day in 37 years. It was 5 when we went walking and the gardens and oval were practically deserted - apart from a few of us brave dog walkers. Don't the other dogs get walked when it is cold?

It is only going to be a top of 14 degrees today in Sydney. 14! I can't remember the high ever being that low

I'm going to stop complaining as I just saw on the news how dire things are weather-wise in Victoria @Emily

New mum’s miracle delivery amid howling storm

An off-duty paramedic has helped a mother give birth after wild storms blocked all roads out of their town in western Victoria overnight.

They have updated the forecast. Now just 11 degrees max!

 

[VanillaBean]

You are getting what we had a few days ago weather wise. Still some lingering...
I mean I hear Maxx complaining about the weather through Vanilla and Honey, they are giving him some advise or not depending on who is talking. And now you...must be something in the air...

It is ace though how no one is out and we can enjoy piece and quiet. Admittedly you get some funny faces when people are driving by..

 

[Jacqui-S]

Or wet.
Amazing, isn't it?

 

[Lab_adore]

I forgot to mention, we were walking Maxx dressed like Arctic explorers when we saw a bloke in the river doing laps. In just his budgie smugglers and a swimming cap. Nothing else. Crikey

Wild swimming is quite popular in the UK. Apparently.
