The colin_p appreciation summer sun and storm thread 2024

We're in the hills above Nerja at the moment and had incredible amounts of rain earlier in the week. We had planned to go to Málaga so we had something to do indoors but thankfully we weren't very efficient getting out so stayed put.

We did spot a yellow weather warning but judging by what's happened the warning was both late and over optimistic.

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.

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.

I moved FROM the UK in 2006. I distinctly remember not seeing the sun for seven months over winter.

Nice frost on the ground this morning. Life is good.

My objection is that summer here usually lasts seven months, as does winter. Yes, it doesn't add up, but that's how it is. This year, summer has been closer to eight months.

First off, commiserations to anyone affected in any way by the terrible floods in Spain. We happily complain when it's breezy enough to blow our bins over but this is another level entirely.

Back in the UK, the weather here in Romford, Essex is just plain dull in every sense of the word. Ok, it was a lovely sunny day last Sunday but apart from that it's been grey and mild. And what has happened to those cold, frosty Autumnal mornings we used to get around this time? It's barely dropped below 10 degrees overnight!

Wow, 14, maybe even 15 month years too! What do you do with the extra time? What shall we call them? Jimuaray is one idea.

That has a certain ring to it.

I think we should call one Puggitober, in honour of our Thread Leader. Glory to The Leader.

I forgot the second line:

Harsh.

Nope

Fair.

I'm reserving Jimtober. It's the month between October and November, where the weather could literally do bloody anything.

It's also either 3 or 93 days long.

8c in Macc tonight. Getting colder thankfully. I can't bear this mild murk at all.

Snowed for the second time this year. Autumn is over. I think it lasted a week this year.

Over to the winter thread.

Don’t worry - we’ll be joining you regularly over there really quite soon. We’re just making the most of ‘another’ last hurrah!
