It looks positively balmy down there but it’s grim up here on the Border.

Sorry, I didnt think to mention, its just over the hill from the University, where the SSi party was last year. So its a new road dropping back down from the Uni to the Cattle Market and Show ground on the road to St Clears.

Dim diolch! Is that normal weather or unusual for where you are? :sweat:

By contrast, right now it is 23F/-3C, with 20-25 mph (32-40 kph) winds, so it feels like 8F/-13C :cold_face: It’s going to be this windy all day :wind_face:

Wow. Where are you, Sean?

And here it is just COLD. Not as bad as last week, but today about 14F (-10C) with a wind chill about 3F (-16C), but since we had freezing rain a few days ago, the trees have been really pretty in the sunlight!

It’s becoming what seems to be regular new summer patterns, according to the meteorologists.
Did anyone see this article last year?

That was a frightening read! Stay cool and be careful!

diolch.
Today is a lovely 25c/77f in comparison to last week. There are raging floods and fires eldewhere.

Glad the weather is better now…stay away from the rest! Too bad the raging floods can’t be used to put out the fires!

Part of the problem in two states is that the fires are threatening the drinking-water storage by way of run-off carrying ash and debris. We are awaiting delivery of a Royal Doulton water filtration system :+1:
