oh ye weather gods

[DaGaffer]

It was fucking ridiculously hot in London today, hottest on record apparently. Thank God that a. I don't have to wear a suit for work anymore, b. My hotel room has excellent aircon, and c. I'm going to Reykjavik on Saturday.

It was 36c at Heathrow iirc, hottest ever July temperature in England or something? On July 1st.

 

[Zarjazz]

Yeah, it was unreal the heat in central London today. Walking out of the air-conditioned offices into the street was like opening the door to a sauna. Thank god I avoided the rush hour tube as that would have been nightmarish. Unfortunately we have a lot of young developers in our office, no one seems to have taught them basic hygiene and what antiperspirant is yet.

Worth following TORRO on Twitter and / or Facebook (if you're a weather nerd like me). They're tracking a large cell / possible super cell passing Newcastle just now, chance of a funnel cloud with it. The following link shows you a live rain radar:

Freezing cold this morning gone from ~15C at weekend to 2C today yikes

 

[caLLous]

Bit damp up north isn't it?!

 

[dysfunction]

Yes but it's the North so it doesn't matter.

Pretty sure his high horse has enough clearance to keep him dry....

never floods by us, the entire coastline is just a gentle slope out to sea.
Manchester used to get it bad till they built the Ship canal all the way to the Mersey, just open all the locks and Manchester drains into the sea.

I used to walk along this footbridge pretty much every day when growing up. I don't think many people will be walking that way now, if ever.

I wonder if there's any video of that pub collapsing... I saw a drone video of it on the beeb, only the aftermath though.

 

[Raven]

Lovely here, nice and warm.

Its still miserable up north...but when isn't it?

Storm Katie battering Southern England. Windy and rainy. Horrible. Bring on the summer.

I've had the heating back on two days in a row.

 

[Raven]

Having a BBQ at the weekend. Better take a brolly.

 

[Lakih]

14C and partially cloudy, I feel your pain

 

[fettoken]

7C, rain and snow earlier today.

 

[old.user4556]

Had incredible views along with hail and snow up in Skirtland. Bitterly cold too. Was going to post this in the photos thread, but more appropriate here - just great cloudage all day (7 portrait shots stitched).

Do you actually work? Always random days you seem to be in the middle of nowhere taking awesome pics

 

[old.user4556]

That's my secret, the whole of Scotland looks like the middle of nowhere .

This is about 12 miles up the road from Edinburgh and about 5 minutes from my house.

 

[fettoken]

Lucky bastard.

You should see the view looking the other way at sunset, the image is over in the photography thread.

The weather's a disgrace. It's almost May. Which is practically June. So where's my 34 degrees, blue skies, and long legs wobbly booby cleavage?
