Hot in the Cher today and looks like it will last for at least this week.

Hot and clear skies. Ideal for watching the August meteor showers this evening.

Going to hit 30 today in Norwich which is hot enough especially as we're playing badminton this morning.
We've just spent 10 days in the Charente Maritime where friends said they've had the wettest Winter/Spring they can remember, has it really been that bad?

Yes, we are just above the Charente and it rained here non-stop from October until May . Now everything is being burnt by the sun , it was 37 degrees yesterday . Hoping for rain on Tuesday/Wednesday

it was 37 degrees yesterday . Here too .. we had a bit of a breeze in the morning but it wasn't enough to mitigate the 'blast of heat' effect out of doors. Dear daughter (visiting us) wanted to go to a vide-grenier in the nearest town .. it was bedlam, a multitude of cars and huge numbers of people everywhere .. even d.d. thought it was 'busy'. I thought it was hideous and was glad to go back home asap. Quite a few ambulances were rushing hither and thither, blue lights flashing .. such a sad sight. Today is calm but 'heavy' and a mere 21° ..

That's thr problem currently in France, plenty of rain, just not where it's needed. We are desperate for a decent amount of rain down here. We have just gone to Niveau 4 - Crise (the highest alert level). We are using more water than is being produced. Expecting regular cuts in the following days.

We are desperate for a decent amount of rain down here. Here too. The last of my 3 x300 litre water butts is now empty. Earlier in the year we were praying for the rain to stop. Now the opposite is true. This thread has reminded me that I haven't checked watering bans lately.

We actually had a very light shower for a few minutes this morning. It wasn't enough to make any difference to anything though. Our lawn is beginning to look a little patchy with brown areas of dried grass.
