Warm and sunny, but with a bit more cloud than yesterday. We have an outside chance of a shower - but we'll probably miss it. Out with the hose again! Some of the plants are gasping - and the ground is very, very dry.
still scorching here.. even perennials are wilting here now.. must admit i put the long handed shower head on the hose pipe and watered tonight.. blooming hard work carrying water cans up top of garden and back.. poor arm was sooooo complaining last night.
No Frank I didn't get any rain what soever, it has been very warm and overcast so wasn't expecting any sunshine at all today but 4.30 ish it managed to burn the low clouds away and out it popped got to 20.6c so not to bad even now at 19.22 it's 19.1c with just a hint of a breeze but the garden is bone dry and the water butts are well down, so, as much as I love the sunshine I do need some rain
The plastic GH came down this evening and I potted up some bulb fennel, hope it's happy to live in modules for a while as I've no room left in the veg beds.Picked my first mangetout, not enough on the plants yet to cook but enough to add to a salad along with radish and Mooli. .
My side of the Tees "Rain" got the sun just after eleven yesterday and apart from the odd dip had it until sunset last night. The sun woke me early today but has now vanished under fairly heavy cloud, I cannot see your side at all. "Memo" do not hang the washing out. Have to clear up a couple of piles of weeds and things, bag them and put all the bags out for the green-waste in the morning, one of my compost boxes is now full and the other box is giving up its beautiful moist sweet smelling gold for the pots and plants, the tomato's love it.
Another glorious but not too hot morning so far. WE have been told on the forecasts that we were to have rain yesterday, today and tomorrow, but so far it has not materialised - good! Still getting the last of the summer planting out, today it is peas which are well late going into their places - long may the sun shine.

Another beautiful day in the Basque Country (that's 6 in a row!) Not too hot, about 26ºC with a light breeze.

Kent has been glorious sunshine all morning but its clouding over this afternoon and might even rain, or not.
I don't mind the rain, just so long as we actually have days of sunshine to go with it.
E Dorset same as Kent, then.
I would like rainy nights and sunny days, if that can be arranged, please.
@FloBear, exactly.
