Typical English summer or is it going to improve? What does everyone's sea
weed say?

At 18:45 CET
It's currently 28C in Groningen way up north in NL.
In Zuid Holland it's 21C and thunderstorms are heading this way.
It's been a lovely sunny summer day.

There is no justice.......... ;-)

I can't say we're having a "typical" summer in the west of Scotland, but
it's a *very* nice one. I can't see how it can improve :-)

May rainfall was less than a third of average and June has started the
same way - glorious warm sunshine yesterday and today, necessitating
lots of watering of the garden :-)

Good job you're not my Christmas card list......... ;-))

Since forecasting last week, that Saturday in the West Midlands would be
heavy rain, the day turned out mild but mainly overcast, Sunday gave us a
few drops late in the day but otherwise warm and dry, Monday has been warm
overcast and dry so far, earlier was forecasting very heavy rain, but this
evening forecast suggests rain belt will be more to the East.
The impending weather front has obviously slowed its progress, and veered
eastwards more than it was.
Thats nature for you.
warm and cloudy at present will see what overnight brings.

OOOOPS sorry for top post

On late Saturday afternoon, the forecast 'showers' fell as torrential
cloudbursts on Bovey Tracey, Newton Abbot and surrounding areas
causing some serious short term flooding. Here in Torbay, just a few
miles further south on the coast, it remained sunny and stickily warm
throughout the weekend with temperatures a good 5C or 6C above those
forecast for the region. Apparently, this current, unusually wet
continental weather will give way to Atlantic (normally wet) weather
towards the end of the week. In other words, another UK summer!

Our butcher lives about 2 miles from here, if that, as the crow flies. He
said his lawn was so water logged that his dogs (Springer Spaniels) were up
to their stomachs in water. Here, we had stair rods for about 15 minutes
and then it stopped.

We had thunderstorms and torrential rain all night.

We had quite a lot of rain but no thunder - or if there was we slept through
it!

Call in if you come up the A38 - you can have a *Devon* cream tea! Now I
know it's going to be perfect weather, I'll order more strawberries, too.

Actually, today is lovely. We had lunch with friends in Salcombe whose
house overlooks the sea and they have a fantastic garden of just under an
acre. They are really terrific gardeners. It is a mass of colour and you
look down into a canopy of tree ferns from the balcony as it's an upside
down house. Lampranthus and Lychnis were flowering wildly and we were pale
green with envy to see the Aeoniums flourishing outside. But it was very
hard - for me - to beat the sea sparkling away and lots of little boats with
sails set, flying along at a cracking pace.
