How's your weather?

My 'metered' water bill is roughly £240 a year.
(Includes sewerage)

Only two of us in the house though.

Mine was too, metered before moving here. It's all those tourists coming down here... OTOH council tax is 1/3 of what it was.

NW Wales is like a crisp!

SE Cornwall ditto.

Never ever seen it so dry here. Not just hot sunshine - had that before in May - 2010 was a hot May - but we have a dry atmosphere and it's desiccating everything out.

Now's your chance to install a bottling plant and sell "Cully Spring" to all those tourists.

Too many trees around my garden, they make great wind blockers...
Mind you they also provide shade, so there's always somewhere to go.
Swings and roundabouts.

If the dry weather keeps up I'm not sure how many will die. Lost 3 or 4 in the last drought, there's a silver birch on my front lawn that barely recovered last time and isn't looking great.
30 feet from it though is a fairly large oak that's looking pretty happy - must have deep roots.

This awful sunny hot weather kills people too, in trumpland for example many people who have no air-conditioning at home seek refuge in libraries
Summer or winter, which is worse?

Expecting a UPS delivery of pens.....

Apparently delayed by weather or natural disaster

Looks OK outside to me, a normal warm evening

Weather forecasting is one thing, but the temperature inside is another

I have a couple of indicators:
butter, not in the fridge, how hard is it?
I buy one banana at a time, put it by the window to ripen, takes weeks in winter, a couple of days in summer

No weather at all at the minute
0°
Zero degrees, minusplus

Had an absolute rain storm last night. Only it wasn't just rain but what it was I really couldn't work out. Heavy rain but there looked like both hail and snow falling as sleet. At one point car windscreens got a bit of white on them but it was snow and hail in the white stuff as far as I could see through the window. Upstairs it sounded like the rain was falling straight onto the ceiling above like there was no roof there. I don't like extremes of weather types like that. Very heavy rain or wind always make me worried about the roof leaking or being damaged.

My gran always marked strong wind days on her calendar just in case she later on spotted issues with the roof. It allowed her to put a date to the damage so the insurance company couldn't worm its way out of paying up due to the weather not being bad the day you think the damage was done.

Yes it snowed last night here & has snowed for several hours from late morning into the afternoon. It is tending to melt once on the ground though as the ground isn't frozen. Here are a couple of images from a walk this morning. Quite a few walkers & mountainbikers out.

Snow on Dartmoor, but cold and frosty here most mornings.
Cloudless sky out there this morning.

Off into the wood shortly to collect the logs I cut the other day. Fire lit every afternoon now and stays in until the early hours.

Hi,
Snow on Haytor yesterday, can see from home.
Gone today, first frost this morning.

Today’s forecast as of yesterday was for 3 centigrade here. By this morning that had been revised to 8 centigrade. Having been out at 8:45am I don’t know why they changed it. It must have been very close to freezing all morning as I could feel the chill penetrating my gloves and shoes.
Some amazing views with very clear air. This is above Redruth looking towards St Ives some 10 miles distant.
