Storm in a tea cup: The weather thread

[ursus arctos]

That's very good to hear

And there are plenty of world class players who only used one foot

[Evariste Euler Gauss]

Thanks Ursus! Op was mainly a success apparently, though the impact on the sciatic nerve in my left thigh (which one of the excised tumours abutted) may mean I never get full mobility of my left foot back, too early to know yet.

[ursus arctos]

You are a good father

And it is great to see you back

All well?

The Richmond (SW London) Marathon is this Sunday, current forecast 31C. One of my grown-up daughters is due to run in it. Very concerning.

I’m in Walthamstow this weekend visiting my children and I see it’s getting up to thirty degrees while I’m there. I need to do a few underground trips and I fear it’ll be unbearably hot.

I do own a pair of white trousers, but alas and alack cannot get in them these days

[Satchmo Distel]

A horrendous year for Greece.

So, as regards what passes for "summer" in England, we had some very nice warm sunny weeks in June, utterly shit chilly and rainy July, not much better August, and now we are in the first day of a forecast last hurrah of 7 gloriously sunny and hottish days before the weather reverts to type for the autumn. As Sod's Law would have it, I will miss 4 of those, from Wednesday inclusive, in hospital, due to having a major operation on Wednesday with 4 days at least in hospital afterwards. Ah well, today, Monday and Tuesday will be nice.

Good luck tomorrow and with the recovery. It must be quite serious if you're in for 4 days minimum.

Very best wishes for a smooth and successful procedure, matey.

I had a lovely 24 hours in the Yorkshire Dales after the weather finally decided to turn decent, got the tent out and found myself a lonely spot. Not a speck of wind overnight, the tent was dripping wet due to condensation and dew but it dried quickly enough.

Hopefully another such weekend coming after the coming week will be wasted at work

[Moonlight Shadow]

Wonderful song!

ha ha, France is known for being the world's top cheese producer!

Thanks DR and ad hoc. The German for “Indian summer” is apparently Altweibersommer, which seems to me to make equally little sense.

[Discordant Resonance]

Best of luck, EEG. Such spells have long been described here as "Indian Summers", though they should now be rebranded as "Native American", as the term originally derives from the US.

[ad hoc]

Good luck EEG

I've finally made it back to Romania where it is currently 38°

(I'm not home yet though. I'm looking at at least 42 hours door to door and I have realised I'm too old for this)

[Evariste Euler Gauss]

Thanks ursus!

[ursus arctos]

Best of luck with that.

We will be thinking of you.

Wow. Been over that bridge dozens of times so I really have a feel for how high that surge is.

[Satchmo Distel]

We are OK here. 25 mph winds. Power still on. Very unlikely to get any worse.

But the Big Bend is going to have a catastrophe, starting in the next hour.
