Roller-coaster weather here...

Sunny patches.... rolling clouds.... warming sun.... howling gale..... torrential rain.....

The joys of the British weather?

I thought we might me in Autumn mode, but it seems we've gone straight to Winter  ::)
Down to 6C overnight in the greenhouse and only 9C now *sigh*

Just looked at the forecast, and the high is only 14C  :( It's a shame for anyone taking a late holiday...

Its been much nicer here than forecast.  No heatwave, but the rain has stayed off and I got a load of tidying and moving done in the garden at home. 

New shed on its way in a few weeks, so that has made me focus a bit on making sure the route is clear  ::)

After a very hefty prolonged down-pour on Saturday complete with what almost looked like hail, today the sun is out.

Generally temperatures are lower than normal for this time of year with chilly nights but 16C today - feels warmer in the sun :)

Just had another downpour with hail!! So much for cloudy all day & rain after 6p.m. Don't think the forecast has been correct for weeks👿

A topsy-turvy day, started off cool and cloudy, then it was sunny and warm at lunchtime  8) then the sky went dark and we've just had a hailstorm. Now we're back to cool and cloudy  :wacko:

Bright and comfortable out this morning - now back to the gloom and grey cotton wool clouds.

Where oh where are the bright orange and red filled autumns or even the last few days of summer clinging on?

It dipped down to 5.6C in the greenhouse overnight  :ohmy: so I'm glad I brought all my squash under cover.

Forecast is to warm up a bit later in the week, but the damage has been done. Time to begin the winter clear up, I think, much earlier than the last few years  :(

I think you're right - I've often managed to keep the greenhouse tomatoes going until November but not this year.

We had a builder coming today to re-do the flat roof on the porch but he's not shown up. Maybe due to the rain and high winds! I'm beginning to wonder if the met office should stop messing around with those super-computers and go back to the fir-cone and strip of seaweed method. As Yoda might say: "Accurate not your forecasts are" :)

Just started a week's holiday just outside Tenby - cottage is superb with views of the sea. Clue to the current weather: we can't actually see the sea! Hopefully it will dry up a bit later.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

We had one of those at about the same time as you. Lift the spirits days like that after grey damp days.  :)
