We've succumbed. Mid June!
It's not so much the cold, more like meteorological miserableness.

Yeh, I think so. When we lived in Ampleforth, near Thisk, many moons ago, on sunny days we would sometimes take the kids to Scarborough only to find it shrouded in cool wet mist.

Yes, it was always Scarborough.

Is "mizzle" what we used to call a sea fret here in Yorkshire?

While the rest of the country basks in a heat wave spare a thought for us down here on the north coast of West Cornwall socked in under cool mizzle for another day.

Six or seven miles away on south coast it was warm sunshine yesterday.

Take care QW that does sound bad.

[quanglewangle]

Turned nasty about lunchtime: blowing F8 and heavy horizontal rain. Southeastly too, a direction from which we hsve little shelter.
Forecast to ease about 19h so lets hope....

[quanglewangle]

Gaining 4 minutes of daylight each day now. Even on overcast days there is still enought brightness and warmth in the sun for plants to notice.

My greenhouse air temperature gained 6°C this morning between 07:00 and 11:00 undet thick cloud cover and only 1°C rise in outside air temperature.

Actually feels spring-like for first time this morning although you wouldn't guess it from the figures: 10°C, 80% RH, very light NW breeze, 6 octas broken cloud.

We had hail stones and a pair of rainbow ends but no middle.

It was really windy last night,the Christmas tree on the lawn (needs chopping) was laying on top of my onion sets,I worried for a second but when I removed the tree,the onions still weren’t growing or visible at all

[quanglewangle]

Quite bright sunshine after days of gloom. About a quarter of summer noon intensity, not bad for January

[Bren In Pots]

A frosty start then the Sun came out so a good day to be out and about.

We have been having hazy sunshine after a frosty start.
