Toast 16,137 Posted July 19, 2022 Dog was out on the lawn just now, but it's quite breezy here so I decided to allow him to stay there as long as he had his cool coat on. So coat duly dunked in cold water and dog dressed. Then of course he followed me indoors and upstairs. I'd pulled the duvet down to the foot of the bed to air it. Dog ensconced himself, still dripping, across both pillows. He's still up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 302 Posted July 19, 2022 Ladies and gentlemen, we have Britain's first 40 - at Heathrow Airport, often the hottest part of the country. However, planes have not as yet started dropping out of the sky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyfiona 2,577 Posted July 19, 2022 In Berkshire for me it is 37c at 2pm. My dad shut all the windows and closed all the curtains this morning and left the loft hatch open and so the house is quite cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,387 Posted August 10, 2022 Temps back up in the 30s where I am for the next several days. Might have to fuck back off to the Highlands. 18 degrees and overcast at summer’s height; it’s so underrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,137 Posted September 8, 2022 Not so much the weather as the weather forecast. Today is the third day that my roofers haven't come to finish the job ... well, they did come yesterday but left after half an hour as it started to rain. And then didn't rain again all day. It has been dry enough every day but the forecast has said otherwise. Infuriating. Update! all done. Thank goodness I can go back to being an owl rather than a lark.

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 31, 2023 There is the potential for an exceptionally bad severe weather outbreak over a large swath of the U.S. today. National Weather Service has issued Level 5 warnings for the first time in two years (when an EF4 tornado hit Georgia), and for parts of Illinois for the first time in a decade (when an EF4 hit as well). This could get ugly... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 28, 2023 It’s no haze, no fog, nae rain. It’s a blanket of smoke over Michigan. Thanks, Canada. That is a photo of the sunrise 28 June. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 29, 2023 Additional reading: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/06/27/us/canada-wildfire-smoke-great-lakes/index.html - In Michigan, the Mackinac Bridge was shrouded in smoke Tuesday. Motorists were asked to drive slowly and with caution due to the reduced visibility on the bridge. (See photo below) - Chicago and Detroit had the worst air quality in the world Tuesday night, with Detroit’s air at one point reaching a “very unhealthy” Air Quality Index of 205 (SirC posted 258!). - A small area east and north of Detroit (right where we live) reached hazardous levels Wednesday morning – that’s considered a “health warning of emergency conditions,” according to the federal government’s Air Quality Index. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilham 752 Posted July 1, 2023 That crappy Canadian air has drifted into Boston; air quality index is 148. We already dealt with this a couple weeks ago and I was supposed to see fireworks tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

None since. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
