sunny day with no humidity, temps in the 70's near 80
I guess where I am the weather is about the same. Maybe a little cooler. We have fires again because of thunderstorms. We had a strong thunderstorm last night and fortunately, a lot of rain came with it. I hope that means no more fires. The fires I know about are far away, burning up the forest.It has been a strange week here. Rainy and cloudy all week with highs only in the upper 90's. It has been a nice break from the sun and the heat and we desperately needed the rain. The weather has given me "Autumn Fever".
Much the same here, I saw my first rain in 67 days yesterday. The temp even dropped off but now are back to those 100 degree days. I can't wait for fall and winter, fall now comes later and winter is shorter. This global warming is hard to believe but it is so true!95 deg today... and Today the South and East have officially been declared 'Drought Stricken''... and forcing water companies to bring in tougher restrictions on the use of water..

we're still going through that unreasonably sweltering summer and with NO AC ... 94 todayNothing to whine about today - a perfect summer day. Sunny, comfortable temp and humidity level. We deserve it after an unseasonably sweltering summer.

There's now a water shortage in some parts of England...
People are having to queue to have water bottles filled ..after one of the Major water suppliers..literally
texted customers in north London, Oxfordshire and Surrey warning them of low pressure, dry taps and rationed bottled water if they need it.
After a string of major leaks in the capital and Kent this week, a new burst pipe is currently hitting homes and businesses in the Cricklewood and Kilburn areas of north London. Another major leak also caused problems in a large area between Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire and Oxford.

Another fire in a London Flatland area..![]()
Where do you live ? what makes it worse for us is that we have no AC in our homes...Things are much the same here. Grass fires, every where, taking homes with them. I have a lawn of gold, if only, no it is just due to lack of rain and the high temperatures. I can't pay for enough water to keep the lawn green, I just gave up. I decided to just do a slow soak around my trees and the foundation of the house. I think this is the worst I have ever seen in my area. We did get a little rain couple of days ago. Won't change the grass but hope the trees got a little of that.
Sorry hit the wrong key, I am in Texas, looks like the same things are going on there. We have not bottled water limits but most towns have set rules about watering outside. The AC thing is horrible, we have older folks that die from heat related problems. I have full house central air conditioning and don't use it as much to keep costs down and to prevent power outages. I feel so bad for all of you there. You are not used to have this kind of heat and can't do much about it but try to keep cool the best way possible.@Blessed , why did you quote my post ?![]()
well we've been having very high temps for the last 3 years here in the south, but no-one has taken notice of it in the UK because no-one other than the South was having it.. Now in the 4th year..3/4's of the UK are now feeling something near what we're having.. people are taking notice now in the rest of the country..Sorry hit the wrong key, I am in Texas, looks like the same things are going on there.
