These threads are usually always popular during any particular season, especially during the summer and winter and there are certain members of this forum such as Richard from Aberdeen who excel in terms of the content which they post in these threads. For that reason and since we have just entered the start of the meteorological summer, I think that is is now the best time to start this particular summer moaning there although you can also gloat about what is happening if you feel the need to do that for any particular reason.

Bit of a moan from this member of the SE contingent - it's going to be hot, humid and what little wind there is will be blowing from a direction which is utterly useless, as my house doesn't have any windows facing due south. It'll be an air-con day, that's for sure!

(And too unpleasant to mow the lawn, that'll have to wait until Monday by the looks of it. I tend to sweat buckets when mowing even when it's 20C, let alone the mid to high 20s and humid with it. I know I could in theory just mow the lawn now, before it warms up, but I'm not that uncaring to the neighbours!)

The first properly hot day of the year and of course it's a bloody SE thing. Originally it was supposed to be pretty good here, low 20s with some sun but naturally that got gradually downgraded and now it's cloudy with light rain. Pathetic, I hate the NW England climate, especially on days like this when the contrast is very sharp and just a couple of hunded miles away it's hot & sunny.

Sounds lovely - at least you can do the gardening without getting zapped or exploding in a puddle of sweat!

(As predicted, there's only the faintest puff of wind here and the house is an inferno - 29.5C in the back bedroom, for example, which faces east! Not long until the air-con goes on...)

Anyway around 22C today with a breeze. Humidity is not really notable once again - Thursday looks like it will keep the most humid day of the week down here.

Well almost a perfect summer's day here 

At least it was until a short while ago when it clouded over

And now the air is thick with acrid blue smoke and the smell of barbecue lighter fuel 

Well, that sucked. Following a hot day, there wa a sultry, steamy night to follow. This is the reason why I dislike summer so much:

For 5 in the morning, that's just a plain silly indoor temperature - and that's in a room which had the window open all night too.

At least today there should be more of a wind and from a direction which will allow it to enter the house!
