What a glorious day. Paddling pool sorted, gazebo up, sunbeds out, peace.

I'm in Porto for the week in 22 degree clouds. Seething.
It’s still about a million degrees upstairs but the rain has just started
It's obscene here tonight. It's gone cloudy and the breeze has disappeared. Melting.
Likewise. Somehow feels worse than before.
Thunderstorms forecast for tommorrow afternoon/evening. Can't come quick enough.
Barely slept the last 2 nights, not holding out too much hope for tonight.
I've tried sleeping in this shit long enough now. Waved the white flag and just sitting out on the balcony until dawn, listening to seagulls slowly realise that they are lost.
That was grim. One more day (and night I presume).
100% humidity this morning.
It's just summer.
Loads of thunder and lightning last night and it was pishing it doon the whole night too.
Looks like never ending showers are due to start around 2pm. Gonna be cutting it fine to cut the grass before then.

I think you’ll find it’s climate change seeing as we’ve never had hot weather before. The same way as the SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO LIFE thunderstorms are climate change because we never had thunderstorms before.
Exactly, it's totally normal weather.
I remember the Sunmer of 1973 when it was 40 degrees every day for 6 months.
The low voltage lightning when I was a young lad was great.
As far as I am aware, they've put the weather warning out because the ground is so hard that heavy rain could lead to flash flooding. I believe flash floods were pretty note worthy even before boomers were booming, so we can probably let this one slide a bit.
Mint. If Durham floods, I can skip being in the office on Wednesday.
Sun's out again and it's as muggy as a Builders Cafe.
It's overcast and a bit cooler here today which is nice. Dunno if we actually had any thunder last night but there has been some rain.
Why does every pattern of weather now have to carry warnings? I've noticed my area has a yellow warning today but the hour by hour forecast has a 50% of light rain between 7pm and 9pm; just cloudy the rest of the day.
Is it one of these things where the Met office has been doing this for decades but now media outlets are aware of it and it's an easy way to fill up space?
So much for that rain.
Well I suppose you want it the right temperature before you bung it up your hooter.
Convicted by the autocorrect.
How’s the wind, @Danny?
Poor bastard drew the short straw.
They named it Ian.
They really should give them more scary names. Nobody is going to underestimate Hurricane Skeletor.
The people that name storms which I assume is the US equivalent of the Met Office.
Just the 1⁰C today. Shorts can't hold out for much longer.
Hoodie and/or a light jacket and you’ll be fine. Legs don’t get cold as long the nips are warm.
Shorts Season ends with British Summer Time.
Only fat cunts wear shorts in the winter.
Anyone who doesn't wear shorts in their house at all times of year is a miserable cunt. It's definitely too cold for them outside now though.
People who lounge around the house in jeans need locking up.
I did a thread once on who knocks about their house in jeans and ready to go out clothes, and it was very much the split you would expect.
Why would you not wear shorts at home?
Because you can.
First thing I do when I get home is to take off my shoes and pants. Why would I add shorts? My underwear is just fine.
Fleecy jammy bottoms, slippers, fleece and dressing gown combo, all with that smell that says I haven't changed or washed in days.
Shorts or trackies.
Prolong the shorts with a hoody as long as practical, but unfortunately by mid November I’ve reverted to trackies.
We all have a blanket for lazing on the sofa though right??
