Well, let me put it to you this way:

Michael Fish should not keep stating that the hurricane he was talking about referred to Florida. He did not mention the States and it was clear it was in connection with the UK. Our local newspaper, the Surrey Mirror, carried a headline the day before the storm, warning of "furious gales". It was given by local meteorologist Ian Currie and was probably the only published accurate forecast in the country. Not that anyone did 'batten down the hatches' as a result!

On the radio today we will be up in the 80's on Sunday and by Wednesday over 90's and may top the big 100 and over on Friday!

Strip off and slap on the suncream and work on that tan while drinking freezing cold beer.
Dream on :)

Today they now say the weekend will be 75 and lots of thunder storms heading into the 80's next week peeking at 82. I bet they will downgrade that again tomorrow.

Think the weather people should stick to facts, i.e. "this weekend it will be Saturday and Sunday".:smug: Now that is an accurate forecast.

They should stop the guessing and use a reliable method of forecasting, i.e. "there have been some gulls sighted inland so a storm is expected in the next day".:up:

We've been putting the lights on at home between 5.30-8.00 - normally we'd be in the garden at this time of year, and the wife nearly put the heating on the other day.

Where I'm at it's 10:20 and the tempurature is 84/29. The expected high today is 103/39. Humidity is 30%.

Then I suggest that you get out of the kitchen, too much heat and steam. :)

Our heating is on...the wife is at work and I don't know how the clothes dryer works :)

Plug in, turn on, select heat, set timer, job done...

Now relax with a cold beer...bliss.

Quite cold in Germany now, that 'heat wave' lasted for three days lol.

Now it is around 14 degrees Celsius, and rain.
But the sun tan is still good, it repels the latter.

If only...aint worth the hassle when she gets in what with mixing colours and whites then woollens with cotton :-?

Been pissing it down a bit today and its a bit windy as I nearly got blown off me bike coming home from the toilet (work). So when is this heatwave going to start? I just hope its nice a week today as I am going to watch Yorkshire thrash Lancashire in the T20.

Doing the washing is like Apartheid rules, keep the whites separate. I once made the mistake of letting a red item join the party and ended up with everything pink. Not a good look for tennis whites. :oops: Much easier to leave it to the washing fairy to sort out. The dryer can be risky as well with too much static creating mini lightning storms.
