Biggles87 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Lucky s*d they're still managing to avoid us, but there is something building just north of Limoges at the moment which may be heading our way. Fingers crossed. Read this morning that Haute Vienne has gone critical on water shortage, but the carwash in the local supermarket was still open this morning. I've seen several people using them lately, irresponsible persons ( or words to that effect ), don't they realise that if it hasn't rained here for a couple of months then there might be a shortage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car wash should be recycled water. Maybe you could try the same? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
593jones Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Only around 24o today, but yesterday it hit 35o, not my idea of fun. I was in my local ASDA and all the chilled food cabinets were empty, apparently u/s due to the weather conditions. Not sure how that works. Roll on Autumn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 They were right, a drop in temperature of more than 20deg in 48hrs. Only 19C at 0600 and forecast not to go any higher with showers/rain all day. Tonight’s low 13C, better get the duvet out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Had all of the windows open all day yesterday (with the obligatory fly screens in place), and managed to reduce the temperature inside the house down by 5 degrees, so that last night it was only 26c. Outside temp today a beautiful 22c. Bliss!! John. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairystick Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Well, The Land of the Long White Cloud has had an exceptionally warm autumn and winter, with proper cold only arriving now. The skifields have had minimal coverage, which also affects the hydro-lakes later in the year. Presumably we'll see all the coal-fired power stations put on line to keep all the "eco-friendly" electric cars powered up... A nice high of 14 degrees today, with 2 deg overnight.

It cools down the body temperature and makes sleep a little easier. Well, at least that works for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick4350 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Twenty-two degree's, feels like eleven outside . Wind gusting at thirty-five knots, no rain. Edited August 8, 2019 by Mick4350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Currently residing in deepest Essex, and according to the forecast, it's going to be bloo awful over the weekend, so it looks like it's going to be kit building with my Grandson, instead of kicking a football about.

Biggles87 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 It's been raining here since 0700, from drizzle to medium. It's forecast to last all day, I hope it does because we really need it. The downside is that the temperature has fallen quite dramatically in the last 48hrs, I had to wear trousers this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Back up to the mid 30s again here, but rain forecast for tomorrow. I’ll believe it when I feel it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 My garden weather station showed a maximum temperature of 37 degrees C, in Farnborough😎☀️ I spent all day yesterday working on a model at my garden table. It was lovely and relaxing and I might repeat the experience again today. I know that there are plenty of "practical" jobs I should be doing around the house but I've been so busy of late that having quiet days just pleasing myself seems like a good idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Still hot here ( 30+ ) and very dry. There has been a stiff breeze for the last couple of days which has probably contributed to some large fires in the forests. There were water bombers in operation yesterday about 20km north of us, and one of our friends who is a pompier ( fireman ) says they’re working 15 hour shifts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, just the same up the road here John. I'm glad to say that the wind has died down now, because everything was being covered in dust as the farmers whipped up a dust storm with their tractors and equipment. My next door neighbours are due here tomorrow for a week, and the forecast is showing the next seven days with rain. Wind some, lose some.

Bullbasket Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Yep, same here. According to the forecast, 75% of France is on yellow alert for thunderstorms.....with not a single one in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
