Trouble is with the UK, we don't get enough summer,
perhaps if we did, we would think differently.
Anyway it looks as if today is one more summers day to the collection.
I would trade weather patterns with you anytime if I had the power to do so? ;-)) Rain and less heat bothers me not.
we are going down to 2 tonight which really means we will be having zero and i have to get up for work in the morning oh what joy (not) wishing summer was here now will gladly swop temps with some one for some hot weather lol
See my reply above this one :-)))
HA, TAKE IT BACK!!, it has just started pouring down of rain!!
Rub it in!!!!!!!!!! :-))
Same here, just watched the women's olympic cycle race with thunder and lightning going on! Pouring here now, thankfully everyone is still out and about enjoying themselves.
WHAT'S Thunder? 
Stopped raining cold fresh breeze. A day of sunshine and rain. If it stayed dry long enough I may get the bright green ever growing grass cut!!!
Boy, I am ready for winter. Or at least something else in the weather. We have not seen any rain at my house for over two weeks. Well, not completely true, we've have a few and I mean a few drops of rain. It did no good. And I must say that was not the case around town or for that fact in my neighborhood. Last weekend it rain a few hundred feet from my house from the east very hard, while we got a sprinkle that didn't get the patio wet. And the next day, it rained very hard next door from the north, while we got a sprinkle that didn't get the patio wet. My next door neighbor got maybe a tenth of an inch before the storm moved north. I feel I was robbed.
And to make matters worse, we are now in a dry spell and have been in the upper 90's and high humidity to get the heat index up to 115. At least give us rain. The rain gauge has been around a half an inch since June 11.
Now relief in sight. Temps suppose to get to 100+ with heat index over 120 most of the week. I think we are in the desert. Everything is so brown/gray outside. Lost most flowering plants, grass, and a couple of trees and three bushes. But we are looking forward to cool nights. We get down to around 80 with heat index of 95.
Need my jacket for that.

Well we're back to where we started the rain is back, but not quite so much

Sadly, ditto to everything you say above is the same here.
the last two days and nights is rain and rain.
Raining again, just like two weeks ago.
How is it that you all in the U.K. get ALL the rain?
after a drissly morning the sun came out,the first time in 2 weeks
Nice afternoon in the end
Something funny happened yesterday. We got rain! A good amount of the wet stuff. About an inch and a half. It was a good slow and steady rain. Had to dodge lightning, but it was a welcome site. The high was only around 86.
Now back to reality. We are back in the upper 90's and very sticky and maybe like that for the rest of the week. A little chance of rain. It is the dog days of August.
Cheers Hondo

Nothing but pouring rain all night and it's still raining this morning
Nothing but oven-baking heat with about 75% humidity, zero breeze and few clouds even though earlier today we had a threat of rain--for all of about 15 minutes. >:-((((
