Autumn’s here – it’s turned chilly
The weather had to eventually turn cooler. After above average temperatures throughout July and August and a mild start to September, it was a bit of a shock to the system when a bit of chilly weather arrived this week. The breeze moved into a cold northerly to make it feel even cooler.

A very dry summer as we still wait for rain
After a very dry summer, we have now moved into Meteorological autumn and we are still awaiting some proper rain. We haven’t had a good wet day since February. At home, two photos taken from the same spot show the difference between watering and not watering.

A hot and dry August
It has been a couple of weeks since my last blog post and, during that time some parts of the country have had some wet weather, albeit in the form of heavy showers rather than prolonged spells of heavy rain. That’s not the case here where we’ve missed any heavy showers.

A proper heatwave
We’re just coming to the end of a proper heatwave unlike the one in July that lasted just a couple of days. This one has been a proper heat wave with six days in a row having a temperature above 30° C or 86.0°F. It’s the first time I’ve recorded such a heatwave in August since I installed my weather station in 2010. On the 10th and 11th of August, the temperature reached 33° C or 91.4° F which is my record for August. I’ve added my weather station summary for August below.

How did our allotment fair in the red alert heatwave
I thought I’d do a bit of a blog about our hottest ever weather. After a very hot Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday the temperature on Wednesday returned to normal.

A cold start to June
It’s the first time in 10 years that the average temperature for the first 5 days of June has been colour-coded blue on my monthly chart. However, it’s not the coldest start to the month as that record is still held by 2012. The average temperature after 5 days of June in 2012 was a very chilly 10.8°C (51.4°F) compared with 12.4°C (54.3°F) this year.
