So uncomfortable for sleeping!) - I hate these sticky hot nights!

It's a horrible night for sleeping here in Exeter on the Quayside 19c at 12am. No air coming in and merely a breeze either it's so still.

So close, sticky and muggy!

Can't wait for Autumn or to at least have some cooler nights.

Overcast at present. 

The good thing is that - At least bedroom temp isn't as ridiculously hot like last month when we regularly reached 30c (BY day) and the indoor bedroom/lounge etc temp never cooled off by night or got below 25c or 26c at night due to the extremely hot days.

Indoor room temp is a little more comfortable at 22.5c. - Still uncomfortable though! - Perhaps same for many other southern parts of England?

I'll sleep with a fan on again! - Looks like i'll have a fan again tonight!

Of course, it doesn't actually matter who starts these threads at the end of the day as long as they are being kept up in the manner in which the late Dougie would have wished for and I'm sure that Col (and Caz for that matter) will still be relieved anyway, to be responding to this one rather than actually starting it from what I read from his last comment on the moaning thread. It is also a relief for me to be getting a run of days just now where I have a chance to just comment in these threads, rather than actually starting them.

Anyway, it is rather overcast just now but mild and (for once) dry.

In the end, a total of 2.4 mm of rain fell during yesterday at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 1.4 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile, the temperature at midnight was 15.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 16°C at Edinburgh Airport and 15.8°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

15.0C, min 14.4C.

i think you need to see the Doctor as you seem to have a problem with sleeping even on this weather are not hot anymore and night had been much cooler than lately.   Was Exeter reached 30C or over yesterday otherwise if low 20C and then go down to 19C at night should not make a room inside hot.  I slept fine here at 25C room temps, windows firmly shut, fan off as I don't leave it open at night or fan on only on the heatwave threshold.  I got used to the warmth of sleeping when living in Cyprus before.  

Wind nil

Temp 14C

Anyway, the Sun briefly came out here in Edinburgh but on the whole, we have yet another mostly dull and overcast start to yet another day with nothing in the way of sunshine having been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank, as at 8am this morning.

There was even a little bit of drizzle during the early hours of this morning which has resulted in 0.2 mm of rain being recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 8am, although this hasn't been enough for anything in the way of rainfall to be recorded at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Last night was rather mild and the overnight minimum temperature was 15.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 15°C at Edinburgh Airport and 15.3°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 8am this morning was 17.2°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 17°C at Edinburgh Airport and 17.6°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Yesterday max 24.1c

Min overnight. 14.2c

Dry, overcast.

Temp 18.7C

Humidity 81%

Overcast. Fine Drizzle. 19.3c. Humidity 72% rh.

1002.2 hpa. SW breeze 2 - 9 mph.

While it has been mostly on the cloudy side, some bright spells has been had as well as staying dry and quite mild at 20.6 C despite the moderate west breeze. All making for another easy-going useful type of day.

Dry. Sunny through broken cloud.  21.2c Humiodity 62% rh.

1000.4 hPa. SW Breeze 9.4 mph.

No lay in for me John. I’m usually up before my 4am alarm but it actually woke me this morning, so I was running a little late. 

A warm dry day with sunny spells, although more cloudy now and a little breezy. 24.9c

there was however, a bit more in the way of sunshine during the earlier part of this afternoon with a total of 4.0 hours of sunshine having been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 5pm this afternoon. That still isn't great for this time of year, but it is better than what we have had for quite a number of days now.

In addition to that, there was a shower of rain just before lunchtime. That has increased today's rainfall total so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank to 0.4 mm as at 5pm but once again, that hasn't been picked up at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh where it remains completely dry today so far as at 5pm this afternoon.

Today has been a warm day though and today's maximum temperature was 21.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 21°C at Edinburgh Airport and 21.6°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh which for all three of my local stations, is warmer than what it has been since 6 August 2018.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 5pm this afternoon was 19.5°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 19°C at Edinburgh Airport and 19.6°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Cloudy and windy, light rain/drizzle just started.

Temp 21.0C

No as I said that's the good thing is that is 23c in the room at night indoor temp instead of 26 or 27c but for me that#s still too warmer temp uncomfortable to sleep in. We're all different I guess. My town house is semi detached remember so never really get's cold or cooler. The breeze has not come from a north or north westerly facing direction so even opening the window - there is no air coming in! the mean wind direction this summer has been south or south easterly and or easterly. so there was no cool air coming in the house at night despite how much/far you opened the window etc - basically due to the fact I am on the quay and the direction my town house esp bedroom is facing!

Back to today's weather and current situation - very benign - just overcast 21c max - rain on it;s way later tonight so it seems! Currently 22c outside and 22c indoor as well. Breeze picking up now.

btw I do find your comments irrational - re suggesting for me to see a doctor about my problems with sleeping! - As if I don't have enough issues with sleep already as it is! (before you ask!!) - but you weren't to know. I think you're being crass but thanks for that suggestion anyway!

I don't really agree with that assertion of today being similar to the last three days.

yes, this evening was cloudy and yes, today's sunshine totals in the end, weren't all that great for this time of the year. However, a total of 4.1 hours of sunshine was recorded for today in the end at Edinburgh Gogarbank which is still far better than the previous three days which consisted of two back to back completely sunless days followed by a day with a total of just 42 minutes of sunshine. This shows that although today was mostly cloudy, it wasn't as cloudy overall as the last three days.

As you have said, there was also some rain. However, that amounted to just a little bit of rain during the early part of this evening plus an earlier passing shower. In the end, that has resulted in a total of 0.6 mm of rain being recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 9pm this evening, along with just 0.2 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh. For both of these stations, that doesn't even come close to what we had on any of the previous three days and in both cases, this hasn't even been enough to make today, an official rain day.

This evening's rain was brought about by a cold front which has moved down from the north-west, and which had that warm and humid air ahead of it which resulted in today's maximum temperature getting to 21°C in the this part of the world. Tonight is forecast to be much cooler and fresher as a result of that cold front moving through. At the moment, there is not yet any evidence of it being any cooler than last night as a result, but the air does have a much fresher feel now.

In the meantime though, the temperature at 9pm this evening was 16.5°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 16°C at Edinburgh Airport and 16.5°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

FFS what has happened to this forum with regard to personal opinion and local perspective ?

First the CET thread now and now this !

Get a bloody grip please John !

Ps. A dry and fine day day with rather a lot of cloud and some sunny spells for a short tine between 1-3pm. A max of 22.0c that felt pleasant. 

Are you the latest member who is now trying to drive me away from from this forum?

I ask that question because I was now to leave because of this, I will tell you now that there will definitely be no way back this time.

In any case, there is a difference between attacking a member's posting style and just simply disagreeing with a particular member's opinion.

I have already stated that I don't agree with a member attacking someone's posting style. However, everyone is entitled to agree or disagree with a particular opinion. By doing so, I am not stopping that person from having that opinion as they are entitled to have that opinion whether I agree with that or not. However, this doesn't means that I can't state whether or not I agree with that on any public forum.

In this scenario, I wasn't stopping Jerry from asserting that today was similar to the last three days in this part of the world. That is his opinion and he is entitled to have that opinion. All I was doing, was trying to state that I don't agree with what he was saying.

Surely, even you should see that there is no problems with that because if there is, then this forum is not something which I want to be part of.

As I have said before, I have Asperger Syndrome and on am the Autistic spectrum which makes me very sensitive to the sort of criticisms which you are trying to throw at me. Given what has been happening recently, may I please urge you and all other members to stop nick-picking just about everything that I am posting on this forum.

I am very close to breaking point with that, and can't cope with this any more so if this goes on any longer, I will then have no option other than to leave this forum, never to return.

Hi John - me too (i have a mild form of it (Asperger's!). But as it's a hidden condition and I am higher functioning i wasn't diagnosed until I was 25! (now 34) Such a shame as i had already finished all my edudcation! Had they (School's teachers known pre GCSE/a'level's at school or even when I was a young child etc there would have been the support there for me!

I thought you could be an Aspie too! So I hear you, i sort of worked it out , not just your great attention to detail in your posts, like myself but also the way you perceive things and react to certain members when they comment or say something negative toward you! My advice is not to take in personally. It's hard for us Asperger's (unique) people to read one's tone and understand body language or think what others are feeling let alone communicate on a forum as things can be misunderstood further more we can't see one another's facial expressions either!  PS - I know you are perhaps use to starting the current conditions thread - so if you wish to continue with it you can post the new topic for Thursday's CC thread! - It just happened that I wanted to post and the thread wasn't created yet.

Like you - I take things personally , perhaps what Jiries said earlier on previous page1 about advising me to see doctor (like there is something wrong with me) etc when I already have issues with sleep as well as relaxation due to anxiety). But I guess he wasn;t to know! CBT can help sometimes - feel free to PM me. - You're not the only one out there! 

Back to the here and now - Very muggy and warm outside 19.5c @ 11pm here in Exeter.

Hi John.

I have an 11 year old son high on the ASD spectrum. This is a gift IMO as the world is viewed in a different way. I enjoy your style of posting but please do not question other members opinions of the weather.

This is not a case of trying to force you out of this forum 

Why not?

There are various members of this forum who have more knowledge of the weather than I have and regardless of whether or not that is the case, I would never question that in anyway. However, when it comes to having an opinion on whether or not, someone believes that the weather is good, bad or indifferent that is a different matter because I don't see why I am not able to have an opinion on that, or agree or disagree with someone's opinions on that.

What Jerry appeared to be doing here was to say that today's weather was no better than the past three days, and I have said that I disagree with that. By doing so, I'm not questioning in any way, his actual knowledge of the weather. All I was doing was to say that I didn't agree with his opinion that the weather was no better than the last three days and to be honest, I really can't see why that should be such an issue.

Furthermore, I have even used a few statistics to back up my case there and surely, you can't argue with that.
