Madeleine Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Yesterday was lovely after a rainy start. I did a walk with my walking group in the River Chelmer area, near Chelmsford in Essex, and it brightened up and was lovely for most of it, with a nice breeze, except towards the end when it got very warm and when I went to bed the thunder was rumbling around, and at 1.00 I got woken up by a thunderclap and torrential rain. Today was very warm and thunder was rumbling around earlier, bit it seems to have cleared up for now. Quote
Virginia Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 It's been a pretty wet week. Woke up to torrential rains and a flash flood warning for the surrounding area. No flooding thank goodness. The rain is much needed. Our lake has been needing the water level to rise enough so that the dam can be opened. The ducks and geese are more than happy! We've got a few more days of it and then the sun will shine. Quote
Madeleine Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 No storm last night and today was also very hot, weather broke a bit around 1830 when it started raining and we had a storm, bit cooler now and quiet, hope it doesn't storm again tonight! Quote
Madeleine Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 Now torrential rain and thunderstorms since about mid-day, and it's windy too. I went out at lunchtime and got soaked (had to take something back to M & S) still thundering now. Quote
Nollaig Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 There's more moisture in the air than air. I.e. 10000% humidity. Quote
chesilbeach Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Lots of rain storms over the last few days, but it's been a bit cooler too, so around the 17/18ºC mark most of the day. I love it when it rains and it's warm enough not to have to wear a coat and just carry an umbrella. Quote
Madeleine Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Very muggy yesterday, thought it was going to storm again but it didn't in the end. Not sure what today will be like! Quote
chesilbeach Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I've just driven through a torrential downpour with lots of standing water even on the motorway. It doesn't seem to have reached home yet, but it sounds like it might just be arriving now. Batten down the hatches! Quote
Madeleine Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 We missed the storms thankfully and it didn't rain, was very muggy though and looked quite foggy at around 2200. Dull and muggy again this morning. Quote
frankie Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 It's been unseasonably hot over here in Finland over the past three or so weeks, it's been record-breaking! I wish it rained, because pollen is a b*tch. It's not rained in I don't know how long! And it was reported that hedgehogs and little birdies are suffering because it's too hot Quote
Madeleine Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 After a muggy start it turned out quite warm, more of the same tomorrow, I agree about the pollen though! Quote
frankie Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 Pollen is so very annoying! It's crazy this year: people who have had no symptoms before, have had them this year. And as an allergic person, I've taken my meds as a good girl and the previous years they've worked like a charm, but this year being as bad as it is, even I have been suffering! Quote
Athena Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 We've had some bad pollen here too. My hayfever is usually not that bad, but I felt horrible for a few days! Quote
Madeleine Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 And June is usually the worst month, good luck everyone! Quote
Athena Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Thanks Frankie and Madeleine ! Yesterday my sister came by for dinner, so we had a family dinner with my parents, my sister, Michael and I. It was nice to spend some time with my family . Quote
itsmeagain Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Sweaty, muggy, grey sky, oppressive, pre thunderstorm type heat. Windy at times. Quote
Madeleine Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Dull and muggy today, the sort of weather which makes the flying ants swarm Quote
Virginia Posted June 7, 2018 Author Posted June 7, 2018 It appears to be full on summer time. I'm wanting to get out and do some planting but its so HOT! I've got to get it done though because we have a family get together next weekend. After two weeks of rain we are no in the dry spell. Oh well, it tis what it is! Quote
Athena Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 It's been hot and humid, and we've been having heavy rainshowers. Quote
Madeleine Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Just muggy here again, bit brighter today, and also a chilly wind. Quote
Madeleine Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Just back from lunch, and it's quite sunny although still a bit windy and chilly in the shade. Quote
Madeleine Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 We had a mixed bag over the weekend, Saturday was cloudy and alternated between warm and sunny and then cloudy, had a bit of rain in the evening. Yesterday was much nicer, quite hot and sunny and turned into a nice evening. This morning it was chilly first thing, quite warm now but the breeze is keeping the heat off. Definitely not as hot as they forecast. Quote
Madeleine Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Much colder today, so much for the heatwave! Quote
