Still very warm in Leicester but it is very windy. Definitely a day for watching the telly.

I just got my nice new autumn jacket delivered and the weather has adjusted itself accordingly.

Judging by how parched the fields have been looking this week, the rain has been a relief. Shame the wind is drying everything off but there we go: that's British weather for you. Never dull!

mostly pi$$ing it down in Lancaster. Hopefully it'll last all evening so there won't be too many shoppers getting in my way for this evening's shift.

Been down in Kent all week and got badly sunburned. Now back in the Armpit of England and its cool and blustery, interspersed with very heavy showers.

Is the motorway shut again tonight?
Meanwhile in the west of Scotland, I know it's hard to believe, but just for a wee change, it's - wet and windy. Just another normal summer I'm afraid. I blame Nicola Sturgeon. As for next week's predicted "heatwave" (again), for us it looks like not applicable (again) :

According to facebook, the works have been cancelled due to the rain so the M6 is open... apparently.

Wet (heavy showers) and windy here today. Otherwise we've had a pretty good run of dry and warm here. Garden is parched and the pond has been very low.

Beautiful day in the north, a bit of haar earlier which soon cleared as the temperature rose in the warm sun. It was a bit uncomfortable standing out without a hat but the afternoon brought in a pleasant easterly off the sea to moderate the land temperature. It's been a long summer, that's four fine days we've had now, I think.
Still waiting for the first midgie of the year.

The east/west split was very pronounced this morning as I was driving up the M74 through south Lanarkshire after sunrise. Looking to the east it was bright with some patchy light cloud cover. Turn your head and look to the west and it was darker than December; an angry sky. Oh and raining, of course, just like it was on the M74..
