Glad the hurricane calmed down before it got to you, Morgan!

Now it's September the northern English weather seems to have decided it's summer. No rain for 2 or 3 days. Mostly sunny today with max 23C. Forecast for the next week mostly sunny with max 24-26C.

I think this says it al for the next week or so.

First this

Then this but not necessarily in the same places.





There is a couple of fires upwind from us abt 8 and 14km away. They are not a threat to us as they are in deep bush and mountain areas (but they are hard to get to to fire fight.)
We are expecting a Southerly buster this afternoon which should help both the firefighters and our gardens after a few day in the 30s..

Hang in there, Stuart!

Yes. You have certainly had a couple bad weeks. Hang in there as Michael says.

Sorry, I should have made it a bit clearer.
Those pics were from events in other places in the state over the last few days.
Thanks for your thoughts.

The fires near us are being brought under control.
The expected rain in our area did arrive overnight but not much. 1730 -> 0030 only 11.2mm
There is a 46% chance of rain on Friday night

Rain, rain, glorious rain!
Nothing quite like it for clearing the brain.
So follow your muddles, down to the puddles...
and there we can huddle in glorious rain!

Raining (well more like drizzle) since 0900 hrs 26th. Only 23.4mm but I can hear my garden cheering from inside.
Amended rain fall, at 0900 27th the downfall was 48.8mm

Just started again as I type.
