Scots Set For "French Frazzle" To End July ... Yet Coldest Summer For Last 5 Years

"Loose Talk, Chat, etc.," this Section might be, but most certainly "ISN'T "Off Topic" here ... where it's been non-stop the entire day!

If the past month is anything to go by, Summer 2020 - North of the Border at least - will've definitely lived up to its reputation in having the lowest seasonal temperatures for 5 years.

It's not just North of the border, South of the border is fairly chilly as well.

A blazing heatwave has been forecast for some while, it just never happens.

I was so cold last week that I ordered a new oil radiator, it arrived this morning, thank goodness.

Blimey.

34C today, and some rain this afternoon.

About the norm here really.

Scots Set For "French Frazzle" To End July ...

I don't know about the Scots, or the French.

Here in Leeds we have better weather than the Philippines today.

Yes ... there was lots of up here as well, yesterday. Although nothing like the temperatures you had in Leeds. And, as you're aware ... ... British weather can rarely be relied upon.

Y'know, I used to fondly imagine the *weather often seemed to change at the turn of the month, ... but that clearly wasn't the case on this occasion, given *it's stayed dry & mainly bright from 31st July thru 2nd August.

Not had much rain this past few days here Arthur, but 30+ degrees and humid, as per normal.

Funeral of my brother-in-law today too, so I'm glad it's been dry for the family.

(Though having said that, I can see clouds gathering. At least it's after lunch now, and the church service and internment should be finished).

I didn't attend, due to worries about this Covid thing.
