We've had six weeks of sunny and hot weather. It hasn't dipped below 30 degrees plus three weeks in Italy before that means today is the first time I've seen prolonged rain in about ten weeks. My garden looks burnt! The joys of living in mainland Europe.
Its not been as nice as last year, but nowhere near as grim as the one before (where we had so much rain the trails never dried out)
More than anything, its just been dull. Not cold, or wet, nothing dramatic, just overcast and grey

Jeez do some folk go on and on. Stop procrastinating and come to the point.
Yeah, rubbish summer.

I was at a farm near Perth this AM finishing off a big boiler install on a grain/chip dryer and the farm manager was bemoaning the fact that this is the first spell of decent weather he's had but the crops are so far behind (2 1/2 weeks) that his combine is sitting idle with nothing to cut.
July average rainfall: 47mm this year 167mm.
no, not a good summer.
That's all folks.. The forecast is......
Rain, gales for the next week...
Time for what light? , how to waterproof my feet? My feet are cold! What waterproof gloves.. threads,
When autumn comes I'm greeted by spiders webs across my face as I go to get my bike out of the shed.
I had a spiders web this morning.
Far too early for that sort of thing.
I think it's been ok around the Tay estuary and north east Fife.

Makes mental not to look for commuters that look like a fast haggis
Not been to bad this year in the South east not blazing sunshine every day but generally dry a couple of spots on my local loop very rarely compleatly dry out but they have this year and were still dry last weekend not sure what they will be like tomorrow night as just had our first full day of rain 🙁
Poor a few wet days overall dry but not very hot up here. Today though it's bloody awful and quite cool tonight.
Here in East Anglia I've experienced a prolonged spring, rather than what I'd call a summer. It didn't properly warm up until end of June and then alternate days were dry sun or cooler with cloud.
It has been dry though.
And as mentioned earlier, it's been a windy one, I've not shaken the reef out all season so far and I've been spending lots of time on the Broads and rivers.
It's been feeling distinctly autumnal too over the past few days.
2/10, must try harder or I'll be writing a very stern letter.
What summer? 😯
