The colin_p appreciation summer sun and storm thread 2024

[Puggit]

Well we are finally there - 20 degrees is forecast in London tomorrow.

We don't know where Colin is, he's disappeared before for long periods - but I thought naming the thread like this was a pleasant nod to Colin without drawing a line under him.

Of course, Colin would hate the warmth the rest of us are craving

Here's to a great summer...

Thread title reads like it's posthumous.

Anyway feels warm for the first time in Macc, a rather heady 14c.

We very well might be there, but we don't know - hence why it's not the colin_p memorial thread

I'd venture that colin may have got binned for being a bit righty-tighty in another thread...

Uh oh!

Well, the thread is still missing him

Also...

High pressure to start nudging in from the South...

High pressure to the south... https://x.com/metoffice/status/1777022995581542496

Partial eclipse will be visible for western areas tonight, but the forecast is not good...



(do I really need to tell you not to look at the sun?)

[Puggit]

I missed the 40 degrees as I was enjoying 36 degrees in Corfu

Thanks to high pressure in the south, the weekend is looking good. Of course, if high pressure is south of the UK, there'll be areas in the north on the boundary that could get washed out.

Oh well

So long as that north is northerer than Oxford, job's a good 'un. Not too hot though, please.

20 in the south, and without that wind

This thread needs to be closed. It's jinxed the weather for the whole country.

I blame Puggit.

You just have to hold on until the weekend (in the south).

Meanwhile, I'm off on a work jolly to Ljubljiana today. 24 degrees and sunny.

Greetings from Slovenia - my hotel room was far too hot

Stupidly beautiful country - amazing.

This is now.

Hopefully, border control won't let Puggit back in when he returns.

Mrs Puggit has just informed me she is turning the heating on. I'd like to point out that the 'not heating after April 1st' is HER rule!

Greetings, fellow Dorkinian.

I've just bought a portable AC unit, therefore guaranteeing the wettest, coldest summer ever.

MC has kindly stepped up to take the blame this year.

Not my fault

[Puggit]

2nd half of April is shaping up much better. Even a chance of high pressure sitting over head.

Greetings from Brussels. Leffe in hand!

No Delerium, I was driving home from Heathrow!

I've mentioned high pressure recently. Signals are getting strongerer.

[Puggit]

Today's weather has reached the 'revolting' threshold!

Looking forward to that high pressure...

[Puggit]

Did I mention high pressure? https://x.com/metoffice/status/1779872393894191301

(note, it will start will a cool northerly!)
