Weather on the TV and in newspapers was all about heatwave conditions in the UK and abroad but not everywhere in the country was basking in glorious sunshine and near record summer temperatures. We headed to the North Yorkshire Moors on Friday and it rained.
It wasn't the best of mornings for shooting video with cameras that don't really want to get wet. A bit of experimentation from the car was required but the clarity was a bit less than perfect. Never mind though we thought that we'd be getting some similar weather at home and it would be good for the garden and allotment so it wasn't all bad news. The weather did brighten up in the afternoon.
It was noticeable how green the fields and road side verges were compared to the fields of brown around us. Of course there hadn't been any rain at home and there doesn't appear to be any in the forecast for the next week to ten days.

Gardeners World last night highlighted the North/South divide. Like North Yorkshire Edinburgh's drought has definitely ended. Of course my sympathies do go out to those still having to water.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the north south divide went through Yorkshire. Certainly everything looked much greener in the "north" compared to the "south". I'm sure some rain will arrive soon and we can forget about watering for this year.
