It's so hot down here. My skin has been leaking all day. One minute they forecast rain. You look again and they've updated it for the day after tomorrow😡
This exactly! Got excited about the thunderstorms forecast for tonight (checked mid-morning), only to have the forecast change to say rain at 10pm (checked at about 8pm), but no thunderstorms, only for it to change and say no rain or thunderstorms (checked at 10pm). I keep getting my hopes up for a break in the heat. Now it's being forecast that the temperature isn't actually going down that much anyway, even if by chance we do get rain/thunderstorms.
Really, really need some wet and a break in the heat. And for an actual forecast to be sort of correct, even if it's not telling me what I need to hear!
The nature of thundery outbreaks means they can't be accurately forecast. Only the general area, and the general direction of movement. Same as any other period of showery weather.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Could you send a bit our way. Not a drop in weeks. Anything planted this year is wilting, and even a long standing buddleja on the front is a bit droopy.
Tonight I watched a council planning meeting. Can anyone tell me why Tree protection Orders are put on trees, then when a developer wants to cut them down to cram as many houses on the site as possible, and the locals are up in arms about it, the council just rolls over and lets the developer do what he likes. Sod the trees, sod the wildlife, ignore the voters. Much muttering about brown envelopes and back pockets going on.
I think that these days it's more a case that the council know that the developer will win on appeal, so they are avoiding wasting money chasing a lost cause. The situation is only going to get worse with the recent announcement that housing developments will effectively be waved through automatically.
We have the same problem nearby @fidgetbones Local infant & junior school was redeveloped some years ago. The rest of the site had planning for houses which expired in 2016. Builder has just re-submitted plans now to include 3 blocks of flats as well as houses & almost no parking. 3 weeks ago the site was levelled & trees felled in spite of their new plan not yet being approved. This site is further down our road behind houses on the other side of the road to us. We will suffer with, traffic noise & they will all try to park in our road, new site is to be gated to stop us parking in there- we may have to move-soon.
My fridge freezer still isn't mended and nobody is due until a week next Tuesday. That'll be 5 weeks and 5 days since I reported it not working. British Gas Home Care should be renamed British Gas Don't Care
Robber barons , land grabbers and carpet baggers and there's nothing you can do about it @Allotment Boy.they'll be building bijou residences on the grass in the middle of dual carriageway next I drove past what used to be extensive playing fields before lockdown. The grass has been stripped and there's huge heaps of gravel or whatever . This is in addition to hundreds of bug hutches that were built on adjacent playing fields last year. Is there one more doctor or dentist? I doubt it

Nothing.
