I think we're forecast 27C today Natasha and our part of Somerset seems to have been in a very dry pocket for a long time. I don't know where you are but it certainly isn't hot and dry everywhere. I'm going to make the best of it as in previous summers we've had too much of the alternative. wink

46th consecutive day of no rain here.  Love this weather but have to be careful with skin damage. 

The solar panels will have been producing well so this quarter should be some kind of record for us.laughing

Loving it 😃😃 23 in the deep shade here. I am in the souteast so it's where the warning applies.

We had a silly amount of rain, made the hard surfaces glisten, last week but it must now be 9 weeks without rain. Could be more I don't note it. We're very used to dry conditions in Essex but this is not like usual 😲.

I missed the winter 😉 blasts but I think this is the follow up to that. Sorry for those of you not getting dry and sunny. But I'm making the most of this last year when the children broke up up for summer it rained persistently even here for the duration. I know when the rain comes it won't know when to stop 😲.

Dry and hot here as well. We are same as you OP, I can't recall last time it rained properly, back in April I believe. Already nearly 28c here, zinging. Way too hot to sit outside without protection. Yorkshire, the southern edges!

The past few weeks have been very warm and dry, but now the temperature here is fairly pleasant and we've had a few rain showers which the garden really needed.  Just fairly average weather for late July.

No rain here in Leicestershire for weeks! Has allowed me to take the roof off a building, take a wall down, put in stronger foundations, rebuild the wall and put the roof back on- not a drop!! That’s never happened before. However, it’s becoming a little waring now and rain would be much appreciated!

We have a 34% chance of rain at 7am on Friday....that is typical of the forecasts we've had lately and the likelihood of it happening doesn't seem to be very realistic. I think the weather forecasters are just trying to be kind and raise our hopes a tiny bit. wink
