Re: Weather
It's been a week of +30C here since Monday. At least it's been cooling down in the evening to comfortable levels and nicely made for some very nice sessions in a shirt and shorts well past 2am with really clear skies!... It looks this heat wave will collapse next Monday with a storm and then back to more normal 20 - 23C temps...
No hosepipe ban here so far although I'll be surprised if they don't introduce one in the next week unless get a deluge of water soon... :p

Re: Weather
Beautiful clear night with a full moon to spoil it.
Saw a few meteors.
Temps in the 50s this morning.
I may have to put on actual clothes.

Re: Weather
Feels like a touch of fall in the air, but it's quite warm today and was super humid last night. Hoping for 2 (!) clear nights in a row.

We are getting a mixture of thunderstorms, with not much rain though, then sunny intervals.
Not good for many outdoor activities just yet (day or night)

Yesterday's monsoon has ended. I heard on the radio that the Wisconsin Dept of Transportation is using snowplows to push standing water off an interstate near one of my dark sites. :eek: Supposed to clear by tomorrow night.
