The clocks have changed so time for the summer edition of weather chat
Hope alls goodA great start to the summer season here - Ive come down with Covid. Its been nice sitting in the sun the last couple of days to ease the chills in my bones tho.
Im a bit woozy & very tired. Its not hit me too hard though.Hope alls good
A most disappointing spring up here - its been almost exclusively grey chilly & VERY windy. Loads of our spring plants are really struggling in the conditions, and quite a few of the sunflowers for the King Of The Sunflowers competition have died.
Your experience in SE Scotland would appear to be not too different from the west of Northern Ireland. Looking at the records of a weather station I have in the back garden, it has so far broken the 20 degrees C barrier only twice so far this year, with April & May usually the driest months being wetter than average (May significantly so, nearly double of what is locally expected). Being outdoors this evening meant zipping up a jacket and putting a cap on - definitely not summer-like weather even by local standards!
In saying that, even with some rather tepid conditions the grass is growing as quick as usual, the plants I have in the front garden are blooming fine (not planted by me, they were chosen by a relative - apparently they enjoy wet soil as the gadren slopes down on to the plants so the last few weeks have seen them shoot up out of near nothing!) and the local trees are leafing well. We just need a little bit of heat - not too much though, we're not built for the 31C heat we had last July!
Yes a substation in my village has one of those fitted recently too, LNB was chunky and VSAT/IP looking.
