My tomatoes have gone outdoors whether they like it or not. No room in the greenhouse. This is my longed for summer week off to bask in the June sunshine at the allotment. Or to sit in the shed playing on my phone as the rain pours down. This country.

It's currently 31C at 11 in the morning, and getting warmer. It's the first proper spell of heat of the year. It's the first time we've really needed the air con. It's the first time I've jumped in the pool after getting back from the gym.

It's situation Amber now: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48583777
I've had to delay putting the bins out. It's absolute chaos here.

I can remember some cold summer days in the past, and I know we're in the early part of the season, but I can't recall such low temperatures in previous years. Maybe 14-15C yes, but not struggling to get into double figures in the middle of the day.

Fingers crossed the lowering of pressure over Greenland which is now showing on mid-range models is coming through, that way the jet stream can bugger up furher north and give us a chance for better weather...or at least something a tad warmer...

There's a very weird El Nino this year, that's unlike others in the short period we've been recording them. It's a weak El Nino (ENSO only just above 0.5 degrees), but it's been sustaining at the same weakish El Nino signal for a long time and looks like it's going to continue this for a while, possibly all the way into autumn.
Because nobody's seen an El Nino like this before, it's hard to predict what impact it's going to have on the weather. Probably nothing in Northern Europe - your shitty weather is probably just one of those things. But it's almost certainly been part of the driver of the crazy rains in the US over the last few months.

We are experiencing a weather event at the moment with cold air from the polar regions colliding with warm air coming up from Spain. The result is very heavy rain over most of England, now spreading into the Southern Uplands and Wales. I was playing cricket on Sunday when it began to rain. On looking at the rain radar on my phone I saw it was a long very narrow strip of rain maybe only 4 miles wide at the most, but it went about 20 miles in length. This was the start of the collision between the two air masses and although we started playing in lovely bright sunshine and a nice cooling breeze, five hours later we abandoned it under heavy rain but no wind. The rain just did not move and it just got heavier and heavier. Quite something to experience, but what a contrast to last year when we went 8 weeks with no rain and blazing hot sunshine which is all a bit to much for me. I love this sort of weather.
