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.
  BBC_weather
                      forecast  
  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.
  BBC_weather
                      forecast  
  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.
  BBC_weather
                      forecast  
  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.

  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.
  BBC_weather
                      forecast  
  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.
  BBC_weather
                      forecast  
  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.

  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.
  BBC_weather
                      forecast  
  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.

   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.
  BBC_weather
                      forecast  
  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.

   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.
  BBC_weather
                      forecast  
  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.

   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.
  BBC_weather
                      forecast  
  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.
  BBC_weather
                      forecast  
  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.
  BBC_weather
                      forecast  
  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.
  BBC_weather
                      forecast  
  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.
