The Weather

[stevewool]

Even living in Marikina City, Manila, it's so easy to find cooler climes within easy reach.

I'm happy, relaxed and slimmer

Thats the way to do it

[Michael Parnham]

Beautiful morning once again, what a lovely summer

[fred]

Two for the price of one!

Beautiful morning once again, what a lovely summer

Alas ... Scotland's share of proper seasonal weather has scarcely begun yet!

[Terpe]

Cooler weather continuing here.
Always looks like a storm is brewing but the threats of the dark clouds often remain just that.

Great weather for longer bike rides.
Some of the mountain roads are very quiet apart from the roadside fruit and veg stands.
Bought a couple of big Marangs yesterday and scoffed one last night. My second favourite fruit after banana.

[Michael Parnham]

Was supposed to have had heavy rainfall during the night according to the weather forecast, hold on, it's suddenly become very overcast so it may still rain, c'mon rain garden is very thirsty

[Terpe]

Having some nice blue skies and some bright warm sunny days just now.
August will see a return to the rainy season and cooler overcast weather and rainstorms so we enjoy our couple of weeks of great weather. Besides it's not too hot, just right. I can still enjoy my bike rides and roaming around.
One of these days I'll start my painting .......... Hopefully

Didn't check on the forecast here; I mean ... ... why bother?

All told, it's been a fairly dismal summer in Scotland. And, true to form, it was last night. Torrential rainfall ... so much so that - propelled by the fierce, gale force wind - it flattened Myrna's prized lupins!

Very surprised Arthur because the past two to three weeks have been glorious in South Yorkshire and Derbyshire. When I used to frequent Scotland during the 70's and early 80's the summers were lovely in your area Arthur, I used to unload canned goods At Cadbury Shhh you know who at Edinburgh then run up to Cadburys Montrose to collect barrels of rasberries and deliver to Cadbuys Histon Nr, Cambridge and I did many of these journeys over the years and the weather was fantastic on almost every trip!

The weather is changing all over the world, those long barmy summer days that went from May to October now go from a weekend in march and another in may then one in December, and yes a few hours in June too,

[Michael Parnham]

Wow, what a beautiful summer its turned out to be, another glorious morning this morning. I've been flooring our loft this week and it was sweltering

[Terpe]

Varying severity of thunderstorms every afternoon/evening.
Sometimes very very heavy tropical rainstorms and sometimes the most fantastic lightning shows

Unpredictable. Just like Bisaya ladies

[stevewool]

Have i missed something here, a few days here and there yes is grand , the great summers of the past have gone i think and how the weather around the globe is changing we will not see them back again

We was having dinner on Alona beach one evening and over the sea on Siquijor island was the most amazing lightning show i have ever seen, flashes every few seconds AMAZING

[Michael Parnham]

Still very warm, could do with some rain really, not had any for quite a while now!

[Terpe]

Here in Davao City the rainy season remains in full swing.
The days are much cooler and the rain is a daily feature.

Send a little rain over here, we need it badly!

[Arthur Little]

Has to be said ... ... the BEST of this year's summer weather in Scotland's been over the past couple of days.

's probably 'cos the wind's dropped at lo~ng last!

[Michael Parnham]

Have you had some rain Graham?

Whatever the weather Arthur, Scotland is a beautiful place to be, you are so fortunate to live there!

Indeed it IS - and I am - Michael ... .

[grahamw48]

Have you had some rain Graham?

Only a little....but enough for me.

Right now the farmers want to harvest their cereals though.

[Michael Parnham]

What a beautiful sunny morning, luckily we had our first rain yesterday for a long time, now the garden looks happy

[Michael Parnham]

Nice sunny morning again, hope it doesn't become to hot

[Terpe]

The past few days have been rain free and the annual Davao Kadayawan fiesta was perfect. Today was perhaps a bit too hot but what a great few days we've had.
Just fabulous

Looks like the rainy season will return next week

[grahamw48]

Massive and prolonged thunderstorm yesterday evening.

That's going to make my grass grow !

[Arthur Little]

That's going to make my grass grow !

Ah ... you've a lot on your mind at the mo, Graham. Remember ... "grass doesn't grow on a busy field!"

[grahamw48]

Ha...very good Arthur.

I just don't want it looking untidy while I'm away.

[Michael Parnham]

Been perfect for gardens this year.
