The official 2014 warm sunshine and BBQ thread...

Was lying in bed at 8am when the rain alarm went off on my phone. Looked at the radar and ran out of the door to get the dog out and about and try and get home dry.

Got soaking

What's a phone rain alarm?

[Bill]

It's real time rather than forecast, using the rain radar.

Enjoy today, it is the last warm day. Well, for those of us in the SE, many other parts are already miserable!

Gutted. 12 degrees and rain in Newbury today. Time to dig the jeans out and put the shorts away. Had a very good run this year I reckon. Still, at least the clocks haven't gone back just yet.

Whoa it's chilly out there tonight!

High pressure finally relented this morning, feel a bit sad really, like saying goodbye to an old friend, knowing it'll be a good while before you see it again. Spend a good portion of the day walking our cliffs - first pic shows the front disappearing off over the continent. The rest revealing a fresh north westerly air flow - feeling ok in the sun but decidedly chilly in the shade. Though we were treated to a lovely sunset by the time we got home. Summer makes a very brief return tomorrow - next week not so good...

Snow? what about the flooding thread?

Someone else named it, so I didn't manage to get the flood bit in...

Holy thread resurrection!

20oC possible in the SE today and tomorrow. Nice bit of high pressure over us, while NW Scotland had 3 days of constant rain. How's it up there GetCarter?

Had breakfast outside today, and a bbq planned for this evening.


(It's half term and we have friends staying.)

Now sat at Terminal 5 and off to Germany where it isn't as warm

What a glorious day it is unfortunately I'm stuck inside decorating the dining room!

You are kidding me, it's bloody lovely here at the moment!!!

Fantastic day today, had a nice walk out without a jacket to get some lunch.

I have 3 BBQ's planned for this month, so i'm hoping the weather stays nice.

11 miserable degrees in Frankfurt (day time high)

[Chicken Chaser]

Well it was warm here at 15deg but it was dark all day! Really heavy cloud meant the lights were on in the house early afternoon.

Ah hello from the Southern Hemisphere....

Finally I can contribute to this thread. As your door closes, ours is flung open!

It's warming up nicely here mid-spring, we've had high 20's and low 30's. I don't think it'll change either but may be bit hot this summer.

Anyhow the beach has been brilliant but surf is still a little cold (shorty wetsuit only). The ocean, harbour and rivers warm up around Jan/Feb.

This was Palm Beach (Summer Bay to you Home and Away fans) on Friday:



And looking back towards Sydney from the Blue Mountains on Thursday:
