Would have been nice to have a full-blown heatwave for my week off but I'll take this intermittent sun. Looks like back up to 15 degrees sunshine from next week onwards
Bike ride tomorrow. Pray for clear skies and a hen do at the pub beer garden.

Is anyone else experiencing minor storm conditions? Absoutley dreadful.
It's been torrential all day and, I shit you not, snow's forecast.
The weather has been utter shite this year. Fucking frost in May? And now a storm comes rolling through like it's October. Fuck off.
20 by the weekend, have faith.
We'll get 12. Curse our cleaner air and greener fields.
Wind here has uprooted a small tree in our garden which is now lying flat on the ground and triggering the garden light sensors.
Load of hail here now.
Got the barbecue out today. It's not really warm enough, but I've never made it through to May without having one before. This Weather is a disgrace.
God is annoyed that we crushed his virus.
Currently 21 degrees.
This weather is amazing but the night times need to fuck off. British houses weren't designed for this weather.
Our bedroom having massive, west facing, bay windows is a particular pain in the cunt. The sun pours in from 2pm until gone 9pm at this time of year. It's easily 30+ in here even with the windows open and the curtains shut all day.
Stfu.
I guess you could say it's like a sauna in here.
Yep, every day at the moment I'm coming home to a sweatbox and there is no way to alleviate it as the windows don't open properly.
Great in the winter, mind.
Yeah, my landing's the hottest spot in the house and it's the one window I can't open.
My cunt neighbour (of solo firework display fame) has lit a bonfire just in time for the rain to turn up. This has caused an unreal amount of smoke and we've now got to have the windows shut.
It was meant to be thunderstorms and rain here. Instead it decided to be 29c.
It's coming. Shitting it down here.
It's here now but not too much.
Is it going going to stop pissing it down at some point? My weather app says no.
Anyone got a spare boat?
We got 25* at midday today which makes up for sub 10* just before sunrise.
I'd be pissed but between work and Euros, there ain't no real purpose to sun so as long as it stays muggy and I can mince about in shorts we good. Get this shit out the way for some record-breaking August highs hopefully.
I hope you cunts who complained because the heat made you softer than you already were are happy now. 14 fucking degrees on the summer solstice. Fucking fuck the fuck off.
Going to smell all the beautiful flowers that are in bloom?
While I'm riding the moaning horse, this weather has now reached ludicrously shit levels. It's fucking July next week.
Back into the 20s next week. I was actually chuffed to see rain for the first time in what felt like weeks.

I drove home through a couple of these earlier. Absolutely mental. Went from dry to completely flooded in the space of 200-300 yards. At one point I lost all visibility for about ten seconds as the wake from cars travelling in the opposite direction was washing over the windscreen. Then went for about a mile in first gear trying to chop my way through the standing water as it continued to lash it down. After crawling over my Thames crossing of choice, I saw why it had been so slow, as on the other side of the bridge the 'landing' area was completely submerged, and a Suzuki saloon seemed to have capsized. At that point it was every man for himself trying to cut a route through about two feet of water around the stricken Japanese chugger. Next thing I know, there's an ambulance car behind me with the blues and twos on, I pull aside to let it past, only for the damn thing to plough into a huge body of water at high speed and end up almost beached.
Low gears and low speed are your friend.
I'm sure there must have been worse summers than this, but I'm struggling to recall one. Absolutely shit weather for 6 months now, bar a few days here and there.

Oddly enough it should turn as this week goes on. Weekend glorious.
Yeah and I’m at a fucking baptism on Sunday. 27 degrees of glorious sunshine and I’ve gotta wear a shirt and tie in a sweaty church.

The weather in May was just rain but it’s been good for June and this next week is just sun and 24/25c which is lovely. Always feels warmer too as no wind now I’m not on the coast
March and April were top drawer, and most of May seemed to be as well. Maybe that was our lot.
What a day today is. The sun is BLAZING, the tunes are BANGING and the beers are BELTING. Have a good one boys. If you don’t finish today without sunburn/tan you’ve gone wrong somewhere between waking up and going to bed.

Sweltering. Get me in the Rhine.
I’m hoping to have contracted sun stroke by 3pm so I don’t begrudge going inside to watch rugby.

27 degrees. The breeze does nothing
It's not that hot you tarts
Look, we take what we can get up north.
This weekend has been amazing, but tonight can fuck off.
It's not that hot you tart.
Yeah, it's gonna be an every window and door open and all fans on kind of night.
We are reaching peak scorch on the tart-o-meter.
I'm melting. I can't handle this.
