Weather where you are?

Saw a knotted hankie on a head in a Monty Python sketch and that wasn't the fifties ::).
For God sack buy a proper hat with a wide brim, don't rely on a base-ball cap, only good for having some place to put advertising ;)

Being a baldie / slap head / spam head / chrome dome. I have to confess that the knotted hankie has come out on occasion. Without factor 50 or a proper hat on the bonce I'm fooked. Burn time 5 mins.
 
After over 2 months of hot and dry weather the end has finally come in spectacular fashion!
Clear, hot and still conditions gave way to a sudden wind storm and then thunderstorms last night.
There are images of people laying out in the rain to cool down!

Our house still is toasty inside now, even with the windows open.
You can feel the warm air blowing out, there is just too much energy stored up!

A local man Niko Miaoulis took this great shot of the approaching storm at the Pilot pub - Dungeness last night (allegedly the UK's only desert):

That is an awesome photo Simon,

I know the Pilot, cousins ran a cafe which then became their sons windsurfing club in Sandgate , now live in Saltwood.

Sadly no red moon  or Mars in Devon last night,what a night to finally get cloud cloud cover! >:(

Not that sort of Pilot Jim  :P A maritime pilot I'm afraid.

Dungeness is a popular spot for artists, film crews, music video production, motorcyclists and er perhaps air pilots.

The view is somewhat spoiled by a couple of nuclear power stations.
 
deg. cel for 13 weeks in a row. No rain what so ever. Terrible, I'm afraid to say.
My garden died.
And the heat is rather unpleasant to ride a motorcycle in, wearing leathers etc.

Kind regards,
Jacques
 
More hot weather and big fires in Northern California. Sonoma where I am currently OK, it's further north in Shasta County. Hats off to firefighters, volunteers, inmates, National Guard and anyone and everyone who is helping put up there. From having gone through all this here a few months ago I know it is not pleasant.
 
Scientists say it could be a 100,000 Ice Age year cycle in spite of Human Green House Shit. Greenland is melting, so is the Arctic and Antarctic - All or major cities will be under water by 2050 wiping out Monopoly, Greed and Slavery.

Just STOP WAR and we are capable of infecting the MilkyWay.

I'm 70 and don't think I've never watered a Bear or 2 with a  2.5" hose on top of a mountain. Both of us fighting for our lives - That Bear trusted me - All I wanted is that Guy below me to keep the pump running and I don't run out of O2 and the heat keeps you dancing from one spot to another.

Life can't fight Fires and it looks we're loosing.

Ground Fighters didn't have radio communicate with a Water Bomber back then - You didn't want to be hit by Helicopter Jim dropping his load or a loaded PBY.

PS: Any clothing including your boots and skin simply fell apart after fighting Forest Fires. Still reaping the aftermath on my lungs.

All O2 can be sucked out within a 1/2 mile around a mountain on fire but there is a envelope of O2 at the Top - It called the Candle.

I've been there at the top of a Mountian after a Fire Kill with just about every animal around me. Smoldering Bears, Moose, Deers, Lynx, Skunks, Foxes, Coyets, Wolves, Porky Pines, Squirrels, Racoons and hundreds of smouldering Rabbits... etc. No Beaver, Muskrat, Otters or Fish - LOL - But I did have a 1935 FN P35 9mm Herstal Belgium Browning in my belt - Thankfully I never had to use that gun in my forest.

Gun Laws are insane - Why can't a bushmen carry a descent pistol in the bush? Probably because there is no Bush, Wildlife, Forest or clean Water left - Firearms have always been a Monopoly Game for the rich and Powerful. You life isn't worth a penny to them.

My Mother beat a rabbit fox to death with her broom after it took over our water spanials dog house - Our family went through months of rabbi shots - I know a rabbi animal when I see one now. Give me 9 in the bush for injury, Rabbi's or a Mamma Bear attack. Cell phones don't work all that well in Northern Ontario. Things like that are life threatening in unless you live in Toronto where illegal guns are the street.

At least with a Breganzie you know damn well when you have dived into a corner too hard and have do something - That's your fault ;o)
 
Crazy weather everywhere! Rain and storms again here in western Australia, hope for clearing later!

No such thing as climate change  :(
 
Aussie weather is our UK news today - the bad drought in NSW. 10mm of rain in a month. Sounds bad.
 
The draught extends into Queensland, South Australia and Victoria as well.

It's horrendous - winter is the time when those rural areas need - and normally get - their rain. The irony is that many of the pollies representing the 'people on the land' are climate change sceptics ... even our discarded conservative  PM, Tony Abbott. Still churning out the same old BS from the backbench - sad but true.
