Necessity is the mammy of invention Other half has just started painting the house between showers - it needed doing last year, but there was no 'between showers'' here. I need a giant one of those parasols.

Lol - brains here decided to beat you to it & paint porch & halldoor last week. Problem was sun is on front in morning so it took for days for the 1st coat of gloss to stop being sticky.. Couldnt leave the porch open to ventilate as on a hill so the rain was gushing down & the heat was building in it like a greenhouse. Wont be doing that in between showers ever again lol

I dunno about 'heatwave' but the weather is looking like it will be warmer and drier from the weekend into next week. :pac:

I don't care too much for the heat, so I hope we don't have a heat wave, but I would welcome some dry fresh weather.

Same as. I hate temperatures in the high twenties. 20- 22c would be grand. those of you who like such heat spare a thought for your redhead comrades- i'm not a redhead just sparing a thought for them!:p

I like the low 20's too, high 20's with humidity makes it very hard to work outside.

Some red-heads tan very nicely! All of my family are red-heads and they all tan well. My mother tans better than anyone else I know!

I'm the only brunette - and I burn in a few minutes.

I'd love some dry weather about 22C though.

I have spared plenty of thoughts for the trees, plants, rivers, lakes, grass, babies, the elderly, puppies and kittens, the gingers can go put a bag on their head I need some sun!

Everytime I look at 9 day charts at night they show intense highs but in the morning they show less high. Wonder will this pattern continue on tomorrows run

Same here mate. It was actually going the brown colour im used to seeing from my garden in London. Mind you, one downpour and it changed back to green. Its having to cut 30 yards then empty the cuttings from the back that makes it such a mare of a job.

Naw i'm sick of 22c i've had that soo many times this summer and i had it yesterday and the day before, i'd like 27/28c thank you. Though we'll barely make 18c today in this rain, that wasn't even forecast!

Remember sitting in a cab in Bangkok while the driver got some petrol. He tooks ages to pay. Ive never been so hot in my life melting in his cab. I love heat and i even like humidity, but Thailand and Hong Kong... too much!

nice to see you have come back all chilled out following your day or two away from the weather forum Owen.

By the way, Coleraine will be lucky to see 17 or 18c today.

I just said that, and sorry but i was here yesterday and the day before.:P As for this heatwave well your boy mt cranim has said that 27c will be possible but the netweather graphs show 21c for most places in this island and the south east barely getting that so i wouldn't expect that, i will only beleive when i see, i don't know were he got that from.

The devil of a site www.wetterzentrale.de are showing high pressure becoming plonked over us for the end of july.


If they are going to change their minds again and put it South in the next run I just ask why do they bother making us excited and then take it all away FFS

KittyeeTrix

Would love a heatwave but would quite happily settle for some dry settled weather!!:)

Well done official weather people. Youve got our hopes up for a 4th Summer in a row and grasped it away. I hope yer proud of yourselves. Up boards!:p
