Hayley Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 We had quite a long thunderstorm yesterday evening and there are more forecast for this afternoon. It only cooled down very slightly though, so I’m still very hot 🥲. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 It did get very humid and threatening, but nothing happened. Very warm today, not sure if it will storm or not as the forecast was a bit vague for the south east. I did water the garden last night in case it didn't rain.

lunababymoonchild Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 We are warm but very, very wet I'm glad to say. Nobody can accuse us of being short of water this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Was meant to have rained heavily overnight but didn't, so might have to water the plants if it doesn't rain during the day. It's quite warm too at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunababymoonchild Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 We had torrential rain this morning, just before we had to go out. I just love rain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Has rained a bit, but just drizzle. I do love the sound of heavy rain on the trees though, that lovely pattering sound.☔ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmeagain Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Humid, close. Grey, wet, ten minutes after the storm, it's boiling again. Windy and grey overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Had a couple of brief showers but nothing much, had to water a few plants which were wilting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunababymoonchild Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 We had more torrential rain this morning. I only just managed to get back inside after pulling some weeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Still no rain to speak of, very cloudy and a few drops now and again, but I had to water one of my plants earlier as it was drooping. Meant to be heavy rain coming but so far none this week. I've only been watering where I've had to, ie if a plant is wilting or looks very dried out. Tomatoes are coming along nicely though.

Madeleine Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Well the rain is finally here, has barely stopped all day though did manage to get into the garden for a brief dry patch and did some dead-heading. Looking very soggy though!☔ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
France Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 37°C this afternoon and we're getting all of 0.1 mm of rain during the night. It will be cooler though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Barely broken 20 here, the weather forecasters said it's more like autumn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmeagain Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) In yesterday's torrential rain, I watched a couple of young men in the park, with no shirt on, playing table tennis in the pouring rain. A young Chinese couple, smitten, caressing, bowing, heavy snogging. by the swings.I believe his marriage proposal was accepted. All really interesting in the rain.

Madeleine Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 We just had loads of snails outside! They seem to like one plant in particular, counted nearly 10 of them on the plant, though they don't seem to be doing any damage as it's still growing and flowering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Well after the burst of late summer it's all changed, we had lots of weather on Sunday, rained a bit in the afternoon, then at 12.45 at night I was woken up by rain absolutely hammering down, lots of lightning and thunder rumbling in the distance. Since then it's rained a bit more but has mainly been incredibly windy. I've cut down my sunflowers, which were pretty much finished anyway, and agapanthus (also finished) to stop them blowing over.

Madeleine Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Absolutely torrential rain last night, for the best part of an hour, I wonder how much fell, must have been several cm/inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 We just got back from a four-day cruise that left out of Miami, Florida. The trip out was dreary, with storms and dreary. That was going from Columbia, South Carolina, to Charlotte, North Carolina. By the time we got to Florida it was sweltering. The ship was sunny, almost like a separate country. But the third day out was rainy and cloudy out in the Atlantic, then it cleared up when we reached Nassau. When we caught our flight it was dreary yet again! The temps are now more typical for our location, it's cool in the morning, warming by afternoon but we can feel the change. I'm so glad! Today will be sunny and a bit warm but I won't complain. Just a few more days and then our "cool streak" will be here for good I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Nice yesterday and not bad today, tomorrow looks ok but more wind and heavy rain and storms too come! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It was very nice outside today so I made sure I got some fresh air before the rain arrives tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Very wet and windy last night but nice today, still windy but sunny, so like Brian I've been getting as much sun as possible, even managed an ice cream as well! Currently on hols in Dorset so have managed some beach walks, but think it will change after today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 While it's warm, we can feel the difference. I went out and picked up a few fall decorations and put them out. The yard is coming along, thanks to my mom. Cool/cold cant get here fast enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 So, here it is, almost the 1st of November and it's 86 degrees here in the southern parts of the US. TOMORROW, on the other hand, will be in the low 60s with a 40% chance of rain. It'll be the perfect day to cuddle up with a good book. My ankle is swollen so I won't be able to walk my boy on this gorgeous day so I'll sit on my patio or front porch to soak it all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Wet and windy here,and in the low to mid teens. Hope the ankle gets better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it's still the same. I'm not ready for temps in the teens!😬 After enjoying unseasonably warm temps for the past three/four days, it is now FALL. It's in the low 60s today, grey and breezy with a slight chance for rain. I plan to stay put. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
