Sunny and warm here in Brum. Was working in garden yesterday and when sun came out it was very warm but when it pissed down it dropped to 12 degrees.

It been cold enough overnight for our central heating to fire briefly two mornings on the trot now, and the solar panels have barely fed anything back to the grid in several days.

Just a word of warning, a health alert has been issued from 5pm tomorrow for extremely hot weather with temperatures potentially hitting 30c.
Please make sure you drink plenty of fluids, check on elderly and vulnerable family and neighbours and keep out of the sun all day if possible but particularly between 12 and 5.

We had friends staying from up north last weekend. Our summer's been up and down, but what they were saying made it feel like we've had a Mediterranean summer in comparison - plenty of sunshine at least if not cracking the flags too often
Nor Cornwall. Same old sh1t…

BRRR...bit chilly out in the west country chez Rob this evening.
It’s been lovely in the real west today, but I’ll admit to tweaking the thermostat this morning.

Duvet’s out on the sofa, for evening TV watching. A snug 8 month winter begins.

Mrs CBH turned on the heating last night. It's chilly in Dorsetshire.

Been very warm in Birmingham today hitting 24 degrees this pm and no rain like down there in Sussex. Going to change next week though with highs of around 14 and lows down to 5 or 6 overnight.
Been very chilly in Wiltshireshire too.
No heating on yet, but the electric blanket is on before bedtime.

You're a great disappointment. I'm ten metres higher and still in shorts
I’m a low blood pressure person (I get parky), which helps on the nsc political threads …. where I get to admire the folk generating excess heat.

That reminds me, need to book my boiler service.

I’m fine with it cooling personally. I’m fortunate that I can afford heating in my home, and I like chunky knitwear.
But the main reason is I want it to be either sunny and warm, or cloudy and cool.
I’m no fancy big city meteorologist, but so much of our spring and summer is that awful humid cloudy and muggy (but not sunny) crap. I end up longing for rain or a thunderstorm to relieve the pressure.
So crisp and cool suits me just fine from here until spring.
