A heat wave round the corner
« on: June 29, 2013, 07:43:27 pm »
I do think that we will have a heat wave for next friday im saying 30 c could be beat i havent seen this set up since 2009 i do hope things warm up for you folk ..................This was said this afternoon paid forcast farmers up date Just a very quick post today because the message is simple and over analysing the situation isn’t the best use of time on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The key message is the first half of next week looks iffy, especially in the north. During the second half and into the following week there are indications of high pressure building strongly and cutting off the westerly flow. This would give the potential for heatwave conditions to develop.

Forecasting 35 degrees here (in the shade) next week. So may need to damp down the chicken runs. Got thunderstorms and rain first though.

Well, everybody else seems to have had the heat wave - it's our turn now.

(Can't cope with heat - guess why I live in Scotland! It's too hot for me when it gets up to 20 degree - Celsius, that is, of course...)

I so remember the last summer we lived in England, I was so hot I had to visit a drug dealer and beg for a glass of water. (I was going to visit them as part of my job :innocent: )

Hehe - that reminds me of the last time I wore a bikini... '84, I think it was. An ancient bikini (50s style, jumble sale!), plus wellies, and me on the tractor in Australia. Oh dear...  ;D My colleague's eyes nearly popped out!

Hot days ! no fun really as the afternoons are usually spent indoors then its all go of an evening. I guess there is no pleasing me unless we have no wind, no rain and a nice 20-25.
i just can not imagine being in the west coast of the USA with such hgh temperatures. Not sure that there are any smallholders  there but imagine having to look after animals out there - as it is I have topped up water 3 times today.
