The weather TODAY in... (Part 2)

[taurus]

Hammering it down at the moment.  We've had thunder, lightening and sunshine.  IF? the weather reports correct for tomorrow will be planting in the morning. Fingers crossed.

Beautiful gardening  weather on the north east coast today. But didn't manage to get potatoes in, so hoping the weather forecast is wrong -heavy rain sweeping up the country from the south :(

Blowing a hoolie here. Had to go to the allotment to check that the shed was alright as I only put it up yesterday and never anchored it down. Got some stakes in and screwed through so it should be alright. Broad beans have taken a battering, i've  put extra strings around them so should save most of them.

The winds have been proper blowing here all day, worse than the great storms of Shanklin when Ace overdosed on JA's.

Gale caused some damage here, not so good

Windier than yesterday, I got caught in what I think must have been a mini tornado, one minute I was digging away on the allotment, the wind all of a sudden got really fierce, netting, plastic sheets bin lids flying about all around me, then a small branch fell out of the sky and cracked me on the head. Ran into the shed for shelter until it stopped, I thought the shed was going to take off it was shaking like mad.

Jumped in the motor when I was ready to come home, checked the mirror, then I noticed that there was quite a bit of claret on my face and in my beard. Good job I did not meet anybody they would have thought I was a mass murderer on the loose.

Oh well,  there I am like Dorothy beaten and bruised and nearly on my way to the Land of Oz and somebody 'likes' it.

Must be the Wicked Witch of the East

Heavy downpours and winds yesterday, settled down today with Sunny spells with dark cloud inbetween.   

[Robert_Brenchley]

Pleasant this afternoon, except that I was too shattered to do much after two marathon advice sessions on consecutive days!

[cornykev]

Nice and Sunny today.   

[cornykev]

A cooler damper start today but like yesterday getting nice and Sunny in the afternoon a bit windy today though.      

[cornykev]

Another hot Sunny one today, the Sun was breaking through on my way to work and still beaming away outside now.        

[Jayb]

Lovely sunny day yesterday, today it's chucking down the wet stuff!

[goodlife]

Earlier on the week it was promised that we would get rain today...it was supposed to be real downpour day
BUT....it is sunny with bit of occasional overcast... We NEED the rain...things have just started to grow nicely after last lot of rain, but all this nice weather and wind is drying the land already

[Jayb]

[cornykev]

Sunburn yesterday   
Soaked today   
Like two different seasons in two days      
The worlds coming to an end.     

[ACE]

What a difference a rain makes. Nice and dry today with a nice growing temperature, all the plants looking fresh and standing up after yesterdays 8 hour soaking.

Well, we had a frost warning here in the East Midlands on both Wednesday and Thursday night, but fortunately got nowhere near it.
Been so dry I had to water the parsnip and beetroot drills. Due some rain early next week which is good 'cause I'm off to Madeira next week.
