The official summer sun, optimism and thunder thread 2022

[Puggit]

I swear this thread gets earlier every year...

20.2 in Kinlochewe today. Scotland often sees these early warm temps.

High pressure to linger for much of spring, next week sees temps cranking up a bit down south.

Turned the heating off yesterday.
Was 26 degrees in the living room late afternoon.

For clarity, gets the sun from midday or so and being a warehouse conversion (albeit large rooms) is very well insulated.

Plus 1C this afternoon, working outside in shirt enjoying the sunshine , it’s a start lol

What constitutes an "official" thread and why is this one so called?

[JakeT]

In for the summer!

That said it will probably cool down again.

We have guidelines for when we can start the weather threads. 20 degrees was recorded in Scotland yesterday so it was officially time to 'go go go'

Well, the housing and financial markets are going to collapse, so we can all be "levelled" together. Something to look forward to...

[Digger]

Anyone seen my favourite pair of shorts?

Plus Puggit is the only person allowed to start this and the winter thread. It's in the rules https://www.pistonheads.com/rules-of-posting

It might not actually be in the rules

Yes, it's officially time to start skimming the scum off all those sex ponds hot tubs and go looking for Digger's favourite shorts.

Someone has to beat me to it - I was a few hours late on this one. Always first on the snow thread - I'm such a child.


Meanwhile Porthmadog 20.7C today and Northolt 20.5

I've been in Israel since Thursday. It was cold and drizzly over there. Pleased to get home to boiling Suffolk

[magpie215]

Well I'm in.....here's hoping for a warm dry day or 2 :-)

Chesterfield'ish -

A beautiful, sunny but hazy, spring day. Car showed 17c earlier.

[Bill]

Spring is definitely sprung down here!

Lovely isn’t it

Anyone claiming to still put their heating on either is seriously sick or doesn’t really have any issue with affordability.
