When will the rain end? Feels like we had the wettest summer in years then a brief sunny start to September and rain ever since. I've never known London to be so consistently wet. Is this our life now?

Amazing how outside of summer months, this doesn't seem to bother me. When the rain is ruining what should be outside/BBQ weather, I get so annoyed about it, as soon as it's widely accepted it's not longer outdoor/bbq season, I couldn't really care less that it's wet and miserable, I just know that's what we're in for!

High for this week in Colorado is 25c.

Fortunately, next week should be about 15 degrees cooler.

Current high pressure in the south gives way to a messy low Fri/Sat. Then high pressure returns - probably sticking around for the festival of spooky candy

Grrr. I just wany a dry weekend to do all the outdoor jobs that need doing and put everything to bed for winter.

[jimmyjimjim]

Move here, forecast for Sunday is 27c. I'm going to wash the car again.

Very pleasant day here in the Channel, light winds and 15c, and a half decent sunset too.

Robin Hood Bay, Yesterday. Relatively clear on the coast. However, pea soup fog up on the moors, mixed with controlled burn smoke.

No fun..

[jimmyjimjim]

Amusingly, I've just received a frost advisory and red flag warning for tomorrow morning - it's going to freeze and burn at the same time.

Colorado. Never dull.

It’s coming Jimmy, we’re hovering around 10c highs now , occasionally 15 or 2 , frosts overnight and a few hours of white crap on Tuesday , darn it .

[jimmyjimjim]

It better be. I'm utterly sick of summer. 27c today, mid 20's over the weekend, 27 again on Monday. Admittedly the rest of the week is about 15 degrees cooler...hopefully.

[jimmyjimjim]

Monday, 28c. Currently snowing. Thank God

Move to the UK

Having said that my part of SE England is about to have a warm (18C), sunny week as we go into November. The weather seems to get weirder and weirder.

I am in Surrey and the weather is mild and the forecast is for temps around 15/16 degrees.

In November 2006 I was working in a London rehab hospital.

I distinctly remember that for several days the weather was so sunny and warm that some groups were facilitated outside, in the hospital grounds.

Whether (Weather?!) it's actually gonna be correct or not is another matter entirely!

Hi neighbour!
I drive through Leigh most days.

[Hereward]

Ha! Please pop in for a cuppa if you ever fancy a car/life natter. I am near the cricket pitch.

That looks a horrific mess. Were the warnings adequate? Or, was everything just overwhelmed?
