Raven Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Solar eclipse today! So, of course, it's currently 100% cloud cover... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Yes I read about the eclipse, should be at it's peak around now, will go outside and have a look, but very cloudy, maybe that's why the weather is weird, sort of cool breeze but muggy at the same time. just went outside and the only thing which covered the sun was a great big cloud.

Raven Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Getting to be a little too hot for me; my flat doesn't cool down when we have this kind of weather, but it looks like it is going to break by the end of the week. I've only used my oven once in the last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Yes it's been sweltering the last few days, also quite uncomfortable at night. It was a bit cooler this morning but not sure what it's like now, meant to break after tomorrow I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Clear blue skies and very warm when I walked into work, but the cloud cover has now rolled in and the temperature has dropped noticeably. There is also a nice breeze flowing through the office, which we didn't have yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunababymoonchild Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 We are on dull and a little windy. As it was yesterday. I don't like the searing heat and we managed to get out and about yesterday. It's taking time to get used to that again, I have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
France Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 It's 33°C (91°F) and still. All garden work has halted, I'm staying in the shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie H Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Sunny, 24°C, but that’s too hot for me, so I’m avoiding the sunshine. Then it’s very enjoyable in the shade. A chilled glass of Pinot Grigio Blush also helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yesterday was quite a bit cooler, but went out in the garden at 9.00 and it was already baking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 31 °C predicted here today (here = in the south of the Netherlands), 32 °C tomorrow.. ugh. It's been hot the past while, it's hot inside the house and both my partner and I have trouble sleeping because it is so hot. I hope it will cool down next week here with some rain.

Chrissy Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hot with an oppressive edge, only alleviated this morning with a hint of a breeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie H Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Thankfully it’s been breezy and fresh, so 25°C was pleasant today. Need the rain soon, some of the waterbutts are nearly empty. Some of the vegs need a drink. Though don’t want thunder and torrential downpour either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megustaleer Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Steady rain here for the past 4 hours, gradually getting heavier. From the noise it is making I think it has now moved into the torrential category. The perennial flower border I planted in the spring is just about to burst into flower - or was. I hope it is not all flattened by the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I was worried about my plants too, so far they look a bit soggy but are surviving... we escaped the worst of it last night, it did rain quite heavily until about 11.00 but no storms, yet anyway. Much fresher but still quite muggy out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie H Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 By Met Office forecasts, it looks we won't have any thunderstorms until Saturday, in Shropshire. Haven't had a drop of rain, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timebug Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 It rained during the night here, following a week of glorious sunshine and high temperatures. It is now overcast, but very warm and incredibly humid in our area. Possible rain given for later today,and tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 We had rain last night, but no lightening - that seemed to pass to the east of me. Very muggy through the night, though, and only slightly fresher this morning. Got caught in a very heavy shower on my way into work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Lots and lots of rain overnight, grumblings of thunder but not lightning. Low cloud this morning, grey skies and showers. Everything is green and shiny and the massive weeds in my garden are going to be humongous by the time I get to deal with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 tried to rain a bit today, still muggy and dull. My garden is like a jungle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie H Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Sitting in my armchair, with a fleece rug over my knees, as it’s not that warm this afternoon! And I refuse to put the heating on at the middle of summer! At least it’s raining steadily for a few hours now, and the garden are needing a good drink.

Madeleine Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 We had that pleasure on Monday.... it's been dry since, and getting a bit warmer, but meant to rain again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
