Good morning all, clear sky and light winds temp 10c to 20c Precipitation 0% Sunrise 5.58 Sunset 20.23
Gosh @Logan that is scarily nippy!! The sun is dodging in and out of the clouds but thankfully still relatively mild here, currently 18C.
@Oreti yes it was cold at 6am this morning, had to have my coat on to do the walks. But I'm not wearing my trousers yet still have my long denim skirt Now it's thick cloud and a moderate breeze from the south south west temp 19c feels like 19c
Too depressing for words isn't it...not only the daily news but also the thought of Autumn and Winter!! I'm dreading ditching my shorts for my cropped trousers then skirts and finally.... trousers!! Currently 20C ( fee!s like 22C)
Orieti I forgot to ask if you bring in your dahlias inside over the winter or pop a layer of hay as a cage around them to prevent from freezing and rain . Curious what US planting zone the UK is in?
Hi @Pacnorwest , I leave them all in situ ....but...if I have been able to accidentally knock a bit of tuber off from a plant then I nurture it undercover for the 1st Winter. I also still have couple in pots so they will go into the greenhouse too, hopefully I'll find them their ' forever homes' in a border next Spring. Our zone here on the south coast is 8b/ 9a It's now overcast and we have rain on the horizon for later on......which we are in need of. However it's a shame as tonight we are to have a Blue Moon but now very unlikely to see it. This morning we had a very orangey sky first thing said to have been caused by the wild fires from North America.
Good morning all, partly cloudy with a moderate breeze temp 14c to 19c Precipitation 16% Sunrise 6.00 Sunset 20.21 Some rain showers later. @Oreti i don't get depressed about the weather or time of year, i just go with the flow.
No worries @Logan, I'm no more depressed at the thought of the approaching Winter than most people if you ask them. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I seem to recall you sayIng that you don't have a set of outdoor furniture because you never sit out in your garden, we literally live all day out in ours when at home during the Spring and Summer...so the thought of not being able to is not something we look forward to very much. We're not indoorsy people really I suppose. Lovely sunny start to our day, the promised and much needed rain never materialised last night.
You're right we don't sit outside at all, if it's sunny I'd rather be inside and don't like the heat, but some people do like it.
At 9am it started raining, it's 11.08 am and just stopped. Still cloudy with a gentle breeze from the west temp 18c feels like 18cc
Oreti thanks for getting back to my zone questions. Your zone 8b is same. Except we do get snow and ice storms. The past few days internet has been wacky , off and on due to the storms. Many of the plants we have in our gardens are same of similar. Weather has changed drastically a lot cooler strange happening for August. We may break a record for the coolest weather in August.
In a cooler trend next few days Currently Partly Cloudy 64°F 18°C Humidity 56% Wind Speed NW 9 G 17 mph Barometer 29.90 in Dewpoint 48°F (9°C) Visibility 10.00 mi Today Partly sunny, with a high near 72. Northwest wind around 11 mph.
