UK Severe Weather Warning

Snowing like fuck...

But us Northerners can handle it :laugh:

Rather snowy up on the mountain here, picture courtesy of one of the webcams up there, the mountain road itself is unsurprisingly closed! :)

You can just about see a couple of the electric tram power poles.

I suspect I'll be going over the coast road to work tomorrow.....

In the UK a 'drought' is a sustained rain-free period of 14 days or more in any region. You may recall recently I dropped one of my analogies into a comment about some event on a slot being 'as rare as a drought in Scotland'. Well, talk about egg-on-face as yep, in May many parts of Scotland had lots of sunshine, temperatures of 24-27c and technically a bloody drought....:oops:

May was the warmest on record in the UK, and the sunniest since 1989. There ya go. That is despite some torrential thunderstorms and constant sticky cloudy humidity for the last week before this weekend in most of England. :what:

Thor was not happy with us English last week....

Yeah I was in Ayr a couple of weeks ago and it hit 29 one day, the rest of the week was between 23-27. I've probably been there 100 times in my life, and it was the first time it didn't lash down at least one day. Even by 9am it was 20+ every day!
Came back home, left there at 9.30 on the morning, it was 23, got home at 2.00, was 8 degrees, foggy and raining!

Well I guess that explains the lack of TS2 action on your vids recently mate. You're too busy getting covered in "trouser icing" while you wax lyrical (that's NOT another euphimism, I hasten to add) about that Donuts game in fun mode at the moment to even consider running the risk of complaining to Thor about his feature in case he unleashes his fury upon you, which comes in the form of an other-worldly thunder and lightning attack that speeds up the shrinkage of your aging genitalia, by actually removing them completely with one unholy bolt. :p
 
Well the heat and drought continues, even the Scots are getting some heat with the hottest June day there since 1995, in fact exceeding it at nearly 90f. Even the wet NW of England has moor fires raging!

My lawns now look like Dot Cotton's face and the strawberries have gone limp.

I've recently been sneaking the hose pipe down to the allotment at dusk to water everything and someone has just shopped me :( (Hosepipes are not allowed) I planted new Strawberries this year as you can usually only get 3/4 good years out of original plants and this years yield has been very disappointing. I'm hoping to get more from the runners in a few months time but if not I expect next years to be a bumper crop. The Rasps are slowly coming along beautifully as long as I can be arsed to take the time to drench them daily. I think its going to be a mixed year with the veg and salad stuff because some of it has been got at by critters and the hot dry weathers not doing any favours.
Saying all of that I'm loving the hot weather :)
 
LOL you know it's a hot one when even the Scots get sunburn lol..... 88f in Glasgow, 91f in Porthmadog Wales and in Glasgow the roof melted on their science centre...

Drought is biting now, no rain forecast in foreseeable, was going to be a thundery spell Sunday but it seems not now.

So, everyone enjoying this hair dryer weather today? It's glorious isn't it? Sweltering humidity, unrelenting hot plumes and blinding sunshine! Plus the serene sounds of ambulances every 4 minutes! Hmm!

And even better, tomorrow's gonna be even hotter!! :cheerleader::cheerleader:
 
The hottest official temperature in the UK/Ireland today was 35.1c Bisley Surrey. Real temperature is measured on specialist equipment in a Stevenson screen away from heat sources like traffic, tarmac, concrete and dark surfaces. We've had hotter days than this in 3 of the last 4 years. Nothing to see here.

I could stick a thermometer up my ass and get a temperature of 37c every day, even in December. :rolleyes:

I know there's been days as hot as today in the last few years, what I can't remember in my lifetime is the continuous weeks' worth of sun without respite, culminating in tomorrow's spectacular finale before a brief lapse, and then......getting scorchingly hot for likely all of next month too.

1995? 1983? 1976? 2006?(up until August) 1998 (July/August) 1990?

Love it! Bring it on, if it lasts until October I'll be happy! Plenty of cold, dreary, miserable, grey, dull, damp and depressing months to look forward from November until March or even April.

You just gonna mention any time it was a bit hot :laugh:

The last sizzler of note was 2003, I'm talking actual summers now not little sun blips. Comparisons have been drawn to '76 and '03, this is worse than either!

Jesus, you're enjoying this 'baked alive' feeling? :eek::what:

It ain't pretty up here in SE London, maybe we've been blessed with a special kind of heat :eek2:
 
I remember 2006 that was very hot and led me to buy a portable air conditioner from Argos, the problem was the pipe was too short to reach out the window. This is the first really hot summer since then, me air conditioner has sat unused in its box for 12 years :( and moved home with me twice, Now I can't be arsed to wrestle to the back of the cupboard to get it out and these buggers are too heavy to easily lift out of a huge box. If the global warming cult are correct, it might come in useful in the next 20 years... I paid abot £140, they've gone up since then, so I trick myself to think that its actually an investment :cool:

If you were to take a....erm...."reading" immediately after your latest in a long line of shitty Bonanza features, you wouldn't get a reading of 37c.

You'd get one of 100c instead, albeit temporarily.
