Silent Sunday… Stormy Weather…

How has the weather been in your neck of the woods?

I wonder why they call it filthy weather when all hell breaks loose and the rain pours down?

After yesterday’s torrential downpour, we must be pretty clean by now… we were promised some colossal thunderstorms, but as usual, they have missed us. I sometimes wish we weren’t protected so much by the South Downs, as we really like a bit of thunder and lightning.

The weekend has been a bit of a mixed bag, work and health-wise, but I might have some exciting news to share tomorrow…

I hope the sun is smiling on all of you, and all is right with your world… XXX

We could use a little rain over here, Jaye. But not too much. Lol. I hope you get some sunshine and beautiful temps for August. And I look forward to your news!

Crappy weather here since early July. Sticky, hot, humid, with hazy, smokey grey skies and intermittent rain. Depressing really. x

  I am finding everything a bit depressing these days, especially all those annoying changes that keep turning up…

lol – not sure I share your liking for thunder and storms! I’d be happy with a gentle rain between the hours of midnight and dawn. ;)
By the way…who draws your avatars? They’re fabulous.

Our bit of N E Wales usually seems to get but a side-swipe of someone else’s really bad weather. It just rained a lot in Wrexham on Saturday. Now we have sunshine and a calm.
(Our drama was November 2021 when a storm knocked our power out for three days)

    It was. The trouble was we didn’t prepare that much because of the headlines in papers such as the Mail and Express which had been over-hyping natural events all year. (Thus the ‘if the Mail says it, it must be wrong mentality’)
    Trees went down near by and cut power lines.
    By good chance the gas supply was still working so we were quite ‘inventive’ with saucepans of boiling water and steam as sources of heat.
    These days I pay special attention to the Met Office reports.

      Yes, most of the time we don’t know who to believe as they all get it wrong…

        At least the serious metrologists will point out weather forecasting is not an exact business. Apparently thunderstorms are very difficult to be certain about.
        
        What did annoy me was the tendency for the tabloid press to pick up on news of Solar Activity and turn it into something approaching an apocalyptic SF scenario.
        Go to the NASA site and there is the mild comment about solar activity which may affect various satellite and communications fields for a short time, with the undercurrent that the outfits running these should be aware there may be problems for that short time.
        Meanwhile some poor folk who will insisting on listening to tabloid headlines are in a state of nervous panic.

        To be honest, I think that is their intent…

Cats and dogs, Jaye! Unspeakable summer – apart from May and June, when it was gorgeous. Let’s hope for a sunny autumn! 😃
