We did end up getting a short downpour. Could have used a LOT more, but at least we got some.

What a difference a day makes. I guestimate that we had around 7cm rain yesterday (sorry Lori).

As a consequence the weeds are already going mad but equally my broad beans that were struggling to germinate are now starting to come good. The grubs of the Colorado have gone berserk. I found none on the potatoes on Saturday and must have picked off 50 or more this morning.

I've seen someone say on another forum that we're back to a heatwave by the weekend. Anyone long range forecasters?

You might be but we certainly won't be - mid 20s plus but not 30s.

At 0700 its 14C and misty and damp, so Autumn not far away : Our 14 day forecast is storm and rain for a few days starting this PM and temps of mid 20s for the rest.

And we may have this to look forward to.

In the meantime, forecast shows the next 3 days with highs of 27. Chance of a storm tomorrow. Then by Saturday we're at 32, then quickly rising to 35 every day thereafter.

This is what seems to be the trend now. Hot as blazes until around round end of September (or later), then a couple of weeks of blissful weather, then Winter arrives.

It’s a lovely day here in Berkshire; 20C and cloudy and we had a shower until a few minutes ago, heavy but not too heavy, along with one peal of thunder.

You know I clicked on 'thanks' but it shows a thumbs down. No idea what I did. Anyway, just to say thank for your post.

It shows a thumbs down after your thanks has been sent

Mid 20s here and we've just had half a coffee spoonful of rain.
I resolve to be more grateful.
