The colin_p appreciation summer sun and storm thread 2024

Sunny, but windy in NE Suffolk.

I'm off to Thorpeness to walk the dog. Then Aldebrugh for a coffee. Though, the latter may well be mobbed by the time I get there.

Your landing could be interesting!

BBC saying it should be nothing but bright sunshine right now in Surbiton, it's nothing but white/grey, not a speck of blue anywhere. Good job catering for 8 this evening was never planned to be a bbq.

Yep, I actually allowed myself to think we were in for rather a pleasant weekend. Fool.

It's so mild. I open the windows every morning to ventilate and usually the temp drops a degree or so. Today after a while the temp had gone up 2 degrees.

Not much sign of the wind that was forecast though.

Our kitchen bifold window is open today for the first time in 2024, so that's something at least.

Currently in Burry Port, bathed in sunshine, although it is a tad breezy.

Here for Battle On The Beach tomorrow, a bicycle race involving a beach strangely, I am looking forward to the long sections of riding at right angles to the prevailing wind, whilst the weather alternates between heavy rain and sun.

Sitting in my tshirt inside due to not being acclimatised to the sudden warm weather. Had to run out and put some emergency screws in the fence though, blowing a hoolie out there now. Just waiting for the inevitable power cut that usually goes with windy weather out in these parts.

High pressure to start nudging in from the South...

Summer? Snow has just appeared on our forecast a week today! I bloody love it here but sometimes wonder at what point will we seek out a warmer climate.
