The Pointless Page

Glorious blue sky. Breakfast outside. Phone thermometer says 33c 😲. But it's only 15c in the shade. Be pointless if the day turns grey again later, so sitting in it and enjoying as it may not last the day and we may not have many more! Be pointless not to 😇

Seriously off for walk later when I can muster the energy.

Have you got an actual thermometer in your phone - or does an App just connect to the nearest reported weather station?

Or weather station says it's 11.6 outside (in a Stevenson type shelter).

It's warmer inside at the moment as the sun has been pouring through the window. Though rain is due later.

Lovely sunny start to the day in my adopted home county with the promise to be the same for the next 10 days or so.  Hope the predictions of more bad weather from across the Atlantic doesn't materialise otherwise my first prediction could be pointless.

Off to RSPB Minsmere again this morning, taking BIL along, was hoping he would reserve (no pun intended) motorised buggy but he said that was pointless as I'm a big enough lad to wheel him about in his wheelchair.  Think he wants to lord it over me

I have a free app on my phone. Galaxy Sensor. Gives temp,  now 27.9c, but was up to 33 when the sun was out, behind a big cloud now 😔. Also gives pressure,  height above sea level 3.4 here, but we're below the river! Also gives light and humidity. I have a proper indoor/outdoor digital thermometer in the van, always gives outdoor temp in the shade (we always have our door in the sun 😉). 15c in the shade. Sensor is outside the window.

Forgive me if people find this a pointless question but this thread seems to be morphing into What are you up to Today. Do we need two such threads?
