My
Electronic Diary For June 2025 |
Thursday 12th June 2025 |
08:52 BST
Yesterday morning started
off quite dull, as per the Met Office forecast, and
completely unlike the BBC weather forecast. It took
until midday before it started to brighten up, but
from about 1pm it was a nice, bright, and sunny
afternoon. It was quite warm too, around 23° C, but
forecast high humidity, which I didn't really notice,
may have made it feel warmer.
There is some sunshine this morning, but much of
the sky looks more white than blue, and the sunshine is
quite intermittent. Maybe the sky will clear to give the
full sunshine forecast, but maybe only until 1pm when
rain is forecast. It is now only shown as light rain,
but I am sure that yesterday it was predicted it might
be heavier - Possibly with one of the BBC's speciality -
thunderstorms that never seem to happen. The temperature
may briefly touch 24° C today, but perhaps only at
4pm. Tomorrow may see 26° C, and there may be
sunny spells or full sunshine all day long. There could
be some rain in the evening tomorrow.![]() Yesterday was a far better day than any recently. For one thing the weather was a lot better, but also because I had some useful achievements, and made new discoveries.....well, sort of. The only negative thing was that I failed to achieve what I hoped for. My day is described, and it was happier than I described it, plus notes about my night, and also the start of this morning, and it can all be read in my complete archived page for today. |

08:26 BST
Yesterday morning was very
dull, and the first half of the afternoon was merely
dull. After that we did get some sunny spells, and it
seemed quite nice after a completely ruined morning.
The afternoon temperature reached 21° C.
This morning was supposed to be sunny, but it is
actually like the Met Office forecast - very dull until
almost mid morning. Both forecasters agree that from
late morning the sun will break through. At first it may
be just sunny spells, but from 4pm there may be full
sunshine. It should raise the temperature up to 23° C.
The TV weather forecast last night did mention today may
feel very humid. Tomorrow should be nice and bright, and
there could be quite a few hours of full sunshine. 1pm
could be an exception when rain is predicted. The
temperature could reach 24° C![]() Yesterday did not get off to a good start, and the dull grey light left me feeling depressed, although maybe not "depressed" in a real clinical way, but who knows ? I did my best to ignore it, and nearly went out for a walk, and of course that was the exact time it started to rain - when the forecast said it wouldn't. My day, such as it was, plus my night and this morning, is all described in my complete archived page for today. |
Tuesday 10th June 2025 |
09:10 BST
There were a few isolated
times when the sun managed to shine a few rays down,
but yesterday was mostly bright grey. It was dry and
fairly mild with an afternoon temperature of 19° C.
There is a 14 to 20% chance of a shower between
11am and 1pm, but the rest of today should be dry even
if the grey sky makes it look like it is about to rain.
Strangely, it is at 11am, when there is a 14% chance of
rain, when it seems it may brighten up from dark grey to
mid, or perhaps even light grey. It is even possible
there could be some sunny spells this evening, but right
now it looks awful outside. It is possible the afternoon
should see 21° C. Update: 11am now shown as dark
grey, and 6pm may see 22° C. Tomorrow is now looking
like it could be very nice. Lots of sunny spells, and
from 4pm there could be non stop strong sunshine. 23° C
is currently expected.![]() Yesterday started with fill vim and vigour, or almost that, but it seemed to burn out by the afternoon. The rest of the day was a bit boring, and rather depressing. I blame it on the weather, but it could also be some underlying medical problem. Time will tell. Any bits of my day worth recording, plus some notes about my night, and of the start of this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page for today. |
Monday 9th June 2025 |
08:58 BST
Yesterday's weather was
rather bland. There was some hazy sunshine for the
first few hours. Maybe an hour of stronger sunshine,
but then it started to cloud over. The afternoon was
usually bright-ish, but with no sunshine. The
temperature was neither hot or cold. By 3pm it reached
17° C, and stayed there for maybe 5 hours before
slowly falling again.
So far this morning it has seemed bright, but not
a single ray of sunshine has broken through the cloud -
yet. It seems that most of today could be bright, bit
with no actual sunshine until, maybe, after 7pm. It
should be a bit warmer today with 19° C predicted.
Tomorrow could be another day with almost no sunshine,
and 7 and 8am could be really dull. The possible good
thing is that the afternoon may see 21° C. ![]() Yesterday was a fair day. I managed to do a few useful things, and had a boozy afternoon. I almost managed to control my eating after getting drunk, and that could have been a miracle if I had managed to control it a bit better. There was even good news about my new phone ! My day, and evening, plus my night, and the start of this morning, is all described as best I can, in my complete archived page for today. |
Sunday 8th June 2025 |
08:29 BST
Much rain was forecast for
yesterday, and almost no sign of the sun. Back in the
real world there was a bit of rain around 6am, but
after that there was no rain until maybe 3 or 4pm.
Some of that rain was heavy for a while. There were
also thunderstorms predicted. That was when we had
some nice sunshine/sunny spells ! The forecast high
was only16° C, but I think that un-forecast sunshine
may have added a degree or two.
There should be full sunshine now, but while the
sun is shining, and has been for some time now, it seems
weak and hazy, but maybe it is getting stronger. The sky
will cloud over from 11am, and then it may be dull until
6pm when sunny spells may resume. No rain is forecast
for today, but the forecast does give a 25% chance of
rain at 5pm, and a lesser percentage for the following
few hours. This afternoon should see 17° C.
Tomorrow should see a bit more improvement, and the
build up to weather more suited to summer. Once again
the middle of the day will be dull, but there may be
sunny spells before and after. It should be dry, and the
temperature should reach 19° C.![]() Yesterday was one of those days that was a mix of good, bad and indifferent. It was another day when I got some good enough exercise, although it was not as beneficial as it could have been, and may have even had some negative effects, but it did reveal some positives as well. My day is described more fully, and with some photos, plus there are notes about my night, and this morning, in my complete archived page for today. |
Saturday 7th June 2025 |
08:15 BST
Once again the forecast said
rain, and it did indeed rain yesterday, but there
seemed to be a lot less than forecast. I think we
started to get sunny spells as early as 11am, and from
then on it seemed like an almost sunny day. It was
even a little bit warmer than the previous couple of
days. The afternoon temperature reached 18° C.
There had been some rain when I opened the
curtains this morning, and I have to admit the sky looks
like there could be another shower soon, but at the
moment it seems dry outside. The Met Office forecast for
today is different to the BBC forecast (above). The
significant thing is that it shows no thunderstorms, but
it does show the first rain falling at 1pm, and after
2pm it could get quite heavy at times. By 3pm the sky
may get lighter, but there will still be heavy rain. It
forecasts the rain will stop an hour earlier than the
BBC at 9pm. Both forecasters agree the maximum
temperature today will be just 16° C. Tomorrow could see
17° C. It should start bright and sunny, but the
afternoon will be dull until there are sunny spells in
the evening. After tomorrow the weather should get
warmer and sunnier for a week or more.![]() I find I don't have a lot of good things to say about yesterday. I had quite a few disappointments. A lot of the day was the boring waiting game - waiting for an Amazon delivery. It should have brought a lot of joy, but it actually brought frustration. My day, including the good bits, and the frustrating bits, plus notes about my night, and this morning, can all be read about in my complete archived page for today. |
Friday 6th June 2025 |
09:06 BST
The forecast predicted
rain for every hour (except midnight) yesterday, but
the reality was that instead of what could have been
constant light rain we had a few times when it really
came down, and then an hour or two before the next
rain. Sometimes it even brightened up (although the
sun only broke through a few very brief times). It was
a rather cool day with only 16° C forecast, but maybe
it did get a little higher than that.
7and 8am were dry this morning, but at 9am it
poured. 20 minutes later and it appears to have stopped,
and it is getting bright outside - but sun bright. The
clouds are probably too thick to let the sun through
until maybe 2pm and then for the rest of the day. I
think the best that can be said about this morning is
that it might rain, but maybe it won't. Today should see
a peak of 18° C, and during the sunny spells that may
not feel too bad if it is not too windy. Tomorrow's
forecast shows rain for nearly all the day, and some of
it may be heavy rain. Being a BBC forecast they have
also thrown in a few thunderstorms. It will be a cold
day with only 15° C expected at best.![]() I described all of yesterday morning yesterday, and I don't think I have much to add to that, except, at the risk of repeating myself, but it is worth saying it twice because it was so momentous - Yesterday was the first time any nurse has ever said that my blood pressure may be too low instead of far too high. The rest of yesterday, plus last night, and the start of this morning, is all described in my complete archived page for today. |
Thursday 5th June 2025 |
08:09 BST
There was some weak
and hazy sunshine first thing yesterday morning, but
the majority of the day was rather dull. A single
shower was forecast for 5pm, followed by an hour of
drizzle. I think both happened. It was a generally
cool day with the temperature only reaching 17° C. The
wind was fairly light, but enough to make it feel a
bit cooler when outside.
Today is looking really grim. It was raining well
before I got up, and the rain may last all day long (but
may finish before midnight). The forecast says mostly
light rain, but there have been a few medium heavy
downpours. Today will be cold, or at least rather cool,
with the temperature only reaching 16° C. Tomorrow may
see some sunny spells, but at the moment the forecast
says a mix of drizzle and light rain from 9am to 4pm. It
will be slightly less cool than today with the
temperature reaching 18° C.![]() Yesterday was a fairly good day. It was dry, and rather cool, but I still walked to the pub. The little bit of exercise was enough to improve my health readings even if not my actual health. The rest of the day must have been good because this morning I may not feel it, but all my readings suggest I am in reasonable health. Yesterday. last night, this morning, my appointment with the nurse, and a bit more of this morning, are all described in my full archived page for today. |
Wednesday 4th June 2025 |
07:57 BST
Yesterday was a lot
different to to the weather forecast. After a bright
start it was supposed to rain. It did come across as
quite dull and mirky, but there was no real rain until
around 3pm when it did, indeed, bucket down ! That
rain may have lasted less than half an hour, but there
may have been another light shower or two before the
clouds started to break up in the evening. It was
supposed to be quite a cool day. Just 17° C was
forecast as the maximum temperature, but I am sure I
saw 20 or even 21° C on my thermometers.
I don't recall seeing full sunshine earlier, but
there is some very weak and hazy sunshine as I type
this. It is just enough to cast a very pale shadow.
Earlier forecasts were full of doom and gloom, but now
it seems that it won't rain until 5pm, although it will
be rather dull from mid morning onwards. The afternoon
temperature should reach 17° C, although a lively wind
may make it feel cooler. Tomorrow currently looks like a
terrible day, but that might change overnight, like
today did. The current forecast is for light rain almost
all day, and with the BBC's favourite,
thunderstorms from mid afternoon to early evening.
The temperature may only reach 16° C tomorrow, and will
feel a lot less in rain and strong winds in the
afternoon.![]() It seems I may have made a cock up yesterday, and labelled yesterday as the day before. Hopefully I will correct as much as I can, and get the dates correct from now on. Yesterday was actually a semi good day - good as in the rain held off for long enough to go for a walk in the park. Most of yesterday, plus notes about my night, and this morning, is described in my complete archived page for today. |
Tuesday 3rd June 2025 |
08:46 BST
Yesterday was a
relatively cool day with the temperature only peaking
at 21° C. Most of the day featured sunny spells, and
from around 6pm they turned into almost, but not quite
full sunshine. I think it was around 1pm when we lost
any sunshine for an hour or so as some rather dark,
and threatening clouds drifted over. Fortunately it
stayed dry.
This morning started off nice and bright with
some nice sunshine, but now it is rather cloudy outside,
and the weather forecast says it will soon rain, and
that rain may continue until 6pm. Only light rain is
forecast, and I would not be surprised if there weren't
some dry spells between showers. It is going to be an
even cooler day with just 17° C expected, and that will
be at the start of the evening. It should be a dry
night, and tomorrow may start with strong sunshine, but
most of tomorrow may only feature sunny spells, and even
some completely sunless hours. It may rain for a couple
of hours at the start of the evening. For one single
hour it may be warmer than today when at 3pm it might be
18° C. Of course the chances off anything happening at
the quoted times tomorrow, and probably also today, is
unlikely.
![]() Yesterday was not exactly a good day. I felt zero get up and go, and so I ended up doing very little, but not actually nothing. I think in today's writing I will just skip over all the times when I was doing nothing but reading and resting, and even the occasional snooze. Only 1,732 words today, and you can read them all in my complete archived page for today, and which includes notes about my night and this morning. |
Monday 2nd June 2025 |
09:24 BST
Yesterday started bright but
rather cool compared to what we have been used to
later. The sunny spells were supposed to continue
until 2pm, but I am not sure they did last that long.
The afternoon reached 21° C, but that didn't feel warm
with no sunshine, and a cooling wind.
![]() This morning seems
sunnier than the forecast seemed to make me
expect, but it is still quite cool, and once again
the afternoon may only peak at 21° C. The sunny
spells should continue all day until 6pm when the
sky may clear, and we'll get full sunshine until
sunset, but it will happen too late to increase
the temperature. Tomorrow's weather returns to
something more appropriate to April. Not long
after a dry start it will start to rain, and with
no sunshine from then onwards, it may only reach
17° C by late afternoon. Even worse than that is
the temperature may dip around midday to a very
chilly 14° C after reaching 15° C by mid morning.
It seems like it will be a really horrid day.
Yesterday started out really good, and the afternoon beer tasting session was very enjoyable even if the consequences of it were a total disaster - the amount of disaster was easily measurable this morning, but it had been feeling a disaster by late last night. The good and the bad of my day, night and his morning, is all described, with some photos, in my complete archived page for today. |
Sunday 1st June 2025 |
08:34 BST
After a quite dull start,
yesterday turned into a summers day. That wasn't bad
considering the weather forecasters think that today,
1st June, is the start of summer. The dull start
turned into sunny spells, and they quickly turned into
full sunshine, although there was still an occasional
passing cloud to briefly dim the sun. The temperature
easily reached the forecast 25° C.
![]() Once again the forecast
says a sunny start, and yet it is rather dull
again. Hopefully, like the last few days, the sun
will break through, and the temperature, currently
18° C according to my outside thermometers, will
rise to a maximum of just 21° C, according to the
forecast. I would have hoped for at least a couple
more degrees. Soon after the temperature reaches
21° C the sky will cloud over, and it might be
dull until 8pm. Tomorrow should be a sunny day
with full sunshine for most of the daylight hours.
For all that it may still only peak at 21° C again
(if indeed that really will be the peak today).
Yesterday seemed to be a very good day, and that is surprising because there are a few things that would have made it a less than good day. Maybe the hot sunshine, and rather humid air, as English summers often are, out voted some of the negative things. The ups and downs of my day, illustrated with a lot of pictures, plus some notes about my night, and also this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page for today. |
