At this very moment:- Howling gale; heavy rain and 12C outside. just got back home from a couple of days of mum-in-law sitting and the journey down the M5, when we got just south of Bristol all the way home, was horrendous. A boat would have been a better option!

This is July, isn't it? ::)

David we had all that weather last night  :o my path was like a river but this morning there wasn't a breath of air, it was so calm...I suppose the calm before the next storm. I thought July was going to be a great month as we have had some nice weather.

Hans...Hope you and your plants aren't suffering to much with all that heat that you are having.

How hot Hans?  I believe Germany's climate is not too different than where I am.

We too in Northeastern USA (and much of the USA) are having VERY HOT weather, and so dry that no amount of watering can salvage the lawns, they are crunchy-crispy under foot.  Had two days reprieve, some welcome rain one of those two days ago at long last, today sunny, moderate, but starting to get hot, and tomorrow and the rest of the week are looking HOT HOT HOT again, in the low to mid 90s F (32-35 C).

Hans,

You're starting to sound more like my climate in summer, although we get those sorts of temperatures for a couple of months in the middle of summer. ;D

Cheers.

Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.

The recent rain in parts of the UK and Ireland is making up for the lovely sunny weather we had from late May until two weeks ago

Wow, 40 C (104 F).  Many parts of mid-Atlantic US States, just a few hundreds miles to the south, have had a number of days above 100 F this year, and certainly down in Southeastern USA, such temps are frequent.  I melt in this weather... I'm a cool-weather person.  Is it humid heat you have?

Paul, two months of such heat... oh my!  Is it dry heat or humid.  We've been in what I call "pea soup" weather, the air so thick, humid and soupy that it takes an hour or two in the morning for the sun to "burn through" the haziness.  Can't wait for fall to arrive :o

Mark, count your blessings with the rain.  If only you could share some with us.  I was thinking about making a "sound recording" of me walking on my lawn... crunch, crunch, crunch.

Mark

to your question

yes it is humid here ( around 70% ) - because we are in the river Rhein valley
The Mais grows in this time like crazy -we have here also Tobacco + Vine + Asperges +Nuits .... :-[

Thanks Hans. I was just going to ask whether you're in a wine producing region.  Can you explain "Nuits" to me, googling it I get several differing results.

I thought it might be "nuts", but when "nuits" came up with wine references (mostly French), among other definitions, then I had my doubts.  Well, I'm nuts about nuts too, or maybe I'm nuts ;D
