Bright at first , then dulled down in forenoon , with a cool breeze- but by lunchtime it was clear and hot again. Got a field of hay baled here - first time in 30 odd years .

Still glorious

It rained!!!




For about 2 minutes, enough to moisten the patio which is now drying off.........

20 deg at 8:30, wonderful

Still dry here, no wet forecast for a while. Too late for some crops, looks like we are going to take a bit of a hiding this year.

My fear about this spell of hot and dry weather is what we get when it ends. Usually get thunder,downpours and hail, not what is needed with thousands of acres of especially OSR in the fields.

It can happen. Hear Japan got 23 inches in 24 hours!

Quite agree, historically thunderstorms normally follow a hot spell in this country. Our oilseed rape is variable and wee are not due to desiccate (if necessary) for 10 days or so. Winter barley and rape will all need to be cut at same time.

Hot one today, still beats horizontal sleet in Jan

For me either we need a bit of rain now or it can stop like this till early sept.

Yup, rain the week after next and onwards would be the worst thing possible.

Father says getting the combine out will bring on the rain.

We are going to Kendal Calling last week of July so that's bound to make it rain

9.46am and 30oc !

 

[Wombat]

Bit fresher and cloudier here today

 

[Tigger]

Last night was horrible, at 7 p.m it was 30 deg C, by 10 p.m it was still 23 deg C, minimum was 17 deg C at 4 a.m this morning when I started work. Being on early shifts and going to bed (or trying to) at 6-7 p.m in these conditions is no fun.

Back up to about 25 deg C now but as above it does feel slightly fresher.

 

[Cowcalf]

3.5mm of drizzle last night temp 19 c today
