Once again it seemed very chilly first thing this morning, and I doubt the temperature has risen more than a degree since then. The forecast predicts some drizzle at midday, but nothing before, and my barometers just say it will be cloudy, but we have just had a fair shower. I think it has stopped for now, but it was enough to leave the road outside looking wet. This afternoon may see some sunny spells, and the temperature may rise to 23° C. From 6pm the clouds will thicken enough to lose the sunny spells for a few hours, but 8pm may see more sunny spells. By midnight the temperature may be down to 18° C. Tomorrow may start at 16° C, and there could be a couple of hours of full sunshine. The rest of the morning, and up to 4pm may be dull, but it will still warm up to 25° C by 4pm. No rain is forecast for tomorrow.

  Yesterday was only a mildly productive day. There were a few interesting bits, but on the whole it was a rather bland day. Unless I suddenly get verbal diarrhoea this could be quite a short diary today. I ended up writing as much about this morning as for the whole of yesterday, but it can all be read in my complete archived page for today.

  It felt very chilly in my bedroom when I got up. It was only 15° C outside at 7am, and there was enough breeze to push that cool air into my bedroom. It was supposed to be sunny at 7 and 8am, bit it was too cloudy for that, although there were some short sunny spells. The rest of the day will also feature sunny spells. The afternoon temperature may peak at 24° C, but only at 4pm. Before and after that it may be a degree or two cooler. Tonight the temperature may drop to 17° C, and tomorrow may start off very fresh again. The forecast for tomorrow actually says 16° C at 6am. The day will feature almost no sunshine, but it should stay dry, although there is a 10 to 13% chance of rain in the later part of the afternoon.

  Yesterday had a few good moments, but much of it was rather dull, although with a bit of effort I could have made it a bit productive. The highlight was a shopping trip to Aldi, and before that washing my hair and having a shower. Afterwards the highlights were mainly eating. As usual, my whole day, or as much of it as seems worth writing about, is described, along with some notes about this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

  Today is already feeling cooler. The breeze, when it is strong enough to blow through my bedroom window, actually feels very fresh and cool. Very little sunshine is forecast for today, and as I write this it is looking quite dull outside, and it gives the impression that we could get an shower even if the forecast says it will be dry all day long. We have had some sunny spells this morning, and there could be some this afternoon, but the temperature will only peak at 25° C. That might feel fairly cool compared to the 30+ degrees we have had in the last week or so. Tonight the temperature may go down to a chilly 15° C. Tomorrow may feature a lot of sunshine, but not non stop full sunshine. It will help to warm the cool morning up, but may only manage an afternoon temperature of just 24° C.

  Yesterday was another day where very little happened. Maybe only two things of note happened. One was I felt very sweaty after a sticky night, and I had a quick shower, but I couldn't be bothered to wash my hair. The other thing is that I tried to eat in a similar was to the day before in the hope of losing more weight. There was not a lot to add to that except some notes about this morning, and my complete page can be read in my archived version.

  There was some rain in the early hours of this morning, and although none seemed to be local, I saw quite a few flashes of lightning lighting up the sky in the direction of Croydon. The rumbles of thunder seemed to be from far away and maybe that might have been Croydon too. The rain had finished probably earlier than 9am when the last was forecast to fall. Since then we have had some sunny spells, but there is still lots of thin looking cloud in the sky. This afternoon the temperature may peak at 30° C for a single hour at 4pm, although the Met Office forecast says 32° C. No rain is expected tomorrow, and it will be a little cooler with a possible high of just 25° C tomorrow afternoon.

  Yesterday was not a very exciting day, and I didn't really achieve much except losing a surprising amount of weight. One thing about yesterday was that although I spent most of the day doing nothing but reading and some snoozing, the day didn't seem to drag at all. I felt quite OK as I waited for bedtime, but I seemed in no rush for it. All I can remember of the day, plus some notes about this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page for today.

  Once again there is another double weather warning for today - both an amber and a red warning of extreme heat. Today, after non stop sunshine, the afternoon should rise to 34° C for a couple of hours. Tomorrow (Saturday) looked like it might be a cooler day, but apparently it may still reach 30° C in the afternoon. There could be light rain in the morning, and the afternoon, when the temperature peaks, could see drizzle. All that heat could brew up a thunderstorm, although none are shown in the forecast - just light drizzly rain, and presumably fairly hot rain !

  Yesterday was just a tiny bit cooler than the day before, and so not only was I more inclined to do stuff, I actually did it. I washed my hair and had a shower. I did other stuff too, and it is all described in my complete archived page for today, and which also includes a few notes about this morning.

  There is another double weather warning for today - both an amber and a red warning of extreme heat. However, this afternoon may only see a peak of 31° C, and that for only an hour. That is 3° C less than yesterday was supposed to have reached. On the other hand, my thermometers say this morning is around 26 to 27° C, but the forecast says it should only have been 21° C at 6am. It did feel fresh outside, but I am not sure it was that cool. Anyway, today should be dry, and we can expect non stop sunshine. The wind is from the east, and that is usually a cooler direction. Tomorrow may see a return to 34° C, but a respite is on it's way. Saturday may still see 29° C, but most of the day will be dull, and most of the day should see rain. Most of it may be just light rain, but the heat could brew up a thunderstorm, although none are shown on Saturday's forecast - yet !

  Yesterday was another day where it felt too hot to do anything. Once again, and just as surprisingly, that included eating, although I think I ate more than the day before yesterday. All I can recall about my day, yesterday, is described in my complete archived page for today, and which includes some notes about this morning.

  The BBC forecast (in the screen shot above) only says "Weather warnings issued". The Met Office says an Amber warning of heat, and a rather rare RED warning of extreme heat for today. Maybe it will only be a degree higher than yesterday's  33° C, but this morning has started off quite warm enough, and by midnight it may only have cooled to 23° C. So a whole day of heat to endure ! Tomorrow may only peak at 31° C, but that is hot enough to be bothersome. Like today, tomorrow morning and evening will still be quite warm (20° C at 6am and 24° C at midnight).The day after tomorrow may see 34° C again, but the day after that (Saturday) may be cooler, and there could be some rain, albeit warm rain !

  Yesterday felt a bit too warm to do much - so I went into lazy mode and didn't do much at all. What I did end doing is all described, along with some notes about this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

  Today is going to be very warm, but there is hotter to come ! As I write this the sun is shining, but they sky still looks light grey instead of blue. If the forecast is correct it will soon change to pure blue, and the sun will be beating down. It may raise the temperature to 33° C. It is probably going to be quite a sticky night, and then tomorrow there could be non stop sunshine from dawn to dusk, and the afternoon may see 35° C. After tomorrow it may be cooler for the foreseeable future (i.e.  a maximum of two weeks ahead).

  Yesterday was my birthday, but that made no great changes to the day. In some ways it was a lot like a Sunday, but maybe 50% less boring. On such a prestigious day I washed my hair, and had a shower, and I think I slightly tidied my beard as well. The rest of my day, plus some notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  This morning there is enough thin cloud to dim any sunshine, but the forecast says that cloud will soon burn off to leave a very sunny day. Despite the weather warning of extreme heat, today may only see a high of 27° C, or 2° C less than yesterday. The warnings of extreme heat may be more pertinent to tomorrow when the day will feature non stop sunshine, and the afternoon may reach a sizzling 35° C. The day after could see 37° C !!!!

  I had several ideas for yesterday, but most involved rail travel, and that is not always easy on a Sunday.Instead of going out I stayed in. It meant I didn't do much. What I did do is all described, together with some notes about this morning, and it can all be read in my complete archived page for today.

  Today started with full sunshine, but by 9am it was reduced to sunny spells, and they should continue until one glorious burst of full sunshine at 9pm as the sun is setting. This afternoon should see 29° C. Tomorrow will see the first day of the weather warnings for extreme heat. The day may feature non stop sunshine, but curiously the afternoon temperature maybe a degree less than today at just 28° C. It will probably feel a lot hotter in the full sunshine, but today could feel very muggy, and that may feel worse.

  I had several plans for yesterday, or maybe they should just been called pipe dreams because none of them were realised, although I did take in one small parcel delivery. Those unrealised plans and ideas, plus what I actually did do, is all described in my complete archived page for today, and which also includes some notes about this morning.

  This morning has featured a few poor quality sunny spells, but most of today is forecast to be quite dull - except in the Met Office forecast that shows sunny spells all day. It feels slightly warm and a bit muggy even now, and maybe it will get worse. Both forecast predict an afternoon high of 26° C today.  Tomorrow could be quite sunny, and the afternoon temperature could reach 29° C.A "Weather Warning" has been issued for extreme heat. The peculiar thing is it shows the warning for Monday and Tuesday, but only Tuesday looks like it will be extremely hot with temperature reaching 34° C. Wednesday is also shown as reaching 34° C but no warning is shown for that day.

  Yesterday was basically a failure, but more about that further down the page. I did have one little triumph that might have balanced the books, but in one respect it barely made a difference. Most of my day was setting me and things up for the evening - except I did nothing in the evening. The reason for that, and a description of much of the rest of my day, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  The sky is mostly blue, and the sun is shining. It should stay shining, non stop, until sunset. It will push the afternoon temperature up to 29° C, and make for a very hot day.  Most of tomorrow will be dull, but the day should still see a probably very muggy 27° C.

  Yesterday was a good day, but I am not so sure it was a very good day, and some of it was not good at all. Possibly even very slightly bad, although that is mostly true for the evening, and that was particularly bad ! More about that unpleasantness later on, further down the page. My day is described in more detail, including some notes about this morning, and can be read as my complete archived page for today.

  This morning it is quite cloudy, but the sun is filtering through a few gaps. Today should be dry, and from midday there could be sunny spells followed by full sunshine at 7pm. The afternoon may reach a rather warm 26° C. Tomorrow could be very sunny, and the afternoon may reach 29° C.

  Yesterday was a day where so very little happened that I am tempted to write almost nothing about it because there is nothing to write about ! Well, almost nothing..... I still managed to write 1,299 words about it, including some notes about this morning, and all can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  There has been at least one light shower this morning, and together with the dull grey light, it seems like today may not be actually horrible, but it will not be a pleasant day. The afternoon may reach 24° C for a single hour, but 23° C would be more representative for the afternoon. The evening could see some sunny spells, but otherwise it seems like it will be a grey day.....actually, the latest revision shows full sunshine for 8 and 9pm !  Tomorrow should feature a lot more sunshine, or sunny spells, and the afternoon could reach 27° C.

  I don't think I can describe yesterday as a good day, but then again it was not a bad day either. It was probably boringly normal - some good bits, some bad bits, and one infuriating bit ! My day, or as much as I can remember or consider worth recounting, can be read in it's entirety in my complete archived page for today, and which includes some notes about this morning (and a video if you are able to watch it).

  This morning is fairly bright, and now there are some sunny spells to make it seem brighter. Those sunny spells are forecast to be very sparse, and while this afternoon may reach a very nice seeming 25° C, there will be few sunny spells, and I suspect it might be quite muggy feeling. Tonight may be a degree less cool than last night. Tomorrow morning could see a couple of light showers, but most of the day is only shown as cloudy. The afternoon may reach 23° C. There may be sunny spells after 6pm tomorrow.

  Yesterday was not very good day. In fact I seem to remember it as being rather dull (weather wise and otherwise). However, I must have got a few things right during the day. What I somehow got right, and the rest of my day, plaus some notes about this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page for today.

  This morning hasn't got off to a good start. It is dull, and we have have a mix of drizzle and light rain. The light rain may not finish until 1pm, and from 2pm we might get sunny spells until sunset. The afternoon should see a high of 21° C. Warmer days may be on their way. Tomorrow may see 25° C in the afternoon, but it seems the day will be mostly dull with just a scattering of sunny spells. By Thursday we could see 27° C, and 29° C on Friday.

  Yesterday must have been better than I thought when I saw my health readings this morning, but maybe only in one specialist way. I don't recall much of yesterday being all that good, but then again it is hard to list anything bad about it. I guess that made it a fairly typical day for me. All I wrote about yesterday, plus some notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  This morning started with what may have been the only full sunshine today. The rest of today will be just sunny spells, and so the afternoon will only peak at 20° C - warm enough for shorts and t-shirt, but far from baking hot. In fact it may well feel cold in the shade. The whole day should be dry, and that will help. Tomorrow may feature some drizzle at 8am, but the rest of the day may be dry with sunny spells until sunset. Like today, the afternoon may only see 20° C.

  Yesterday was part good, and a lot bad. I think going out shopping broke me. I did not feel good when I got home, but it was useful to experiment on what would make me feel better. I think I did have some success, but it was the last straw for going out in the evening. The full version of my day, including notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  There is a lot of cloud as I write this, but among the cloud are some large islands of blue sky. When the sun can shine through the blue areas it is wonderfully sunny, but since I started writing the sun seems to have gone behind the cloud. The forecast optimistically shows lots of sunny spells until 2pm when there may be full sunshine for the rest of the day (except 7pm !). This afternoon should see 21° C - rather better than the current 14° C. Like yesterday, the temperature will have dropped a lot by midnight, but maybe only to 15° C, although it will continue to drop through the small hours of tomorrow. It should be a nice bright day tomorrow. The morning may start with full sunshine, but after 9am there may only be sunny spells until sunset. Tomorrow afternoon's temperature may only reach 20° C, but that is not too bad.

  Yesterday started with me feeling achey, and there was a hint that it might have been illness rather than the weather. I found that Paracetamol improved how I felt a lot. Like most days, some of it was good, and some bad. I can't really put a figure on it, but maybe it was half of one and half of the other. My day is more fully described, with some notes about this morning, and it can all be read in my complete archived page for today.

  Today may be a dry day, at least no rain is shown in the forecast. There may even be some nice sunshine in the early evening, but most of the day seems like it will be dry. This afternoon should see 21° C for a few hours. Tomorrow may feature sunny spells followed by pure sunshine, but the afternoon temperature may still only rise to  21° C again.

  Yesterday was a good and bad day. It was bad because I felt bad again. I find it hard to describe the symptoms because it was nearly everything the hurt, felt stiff, felt creaky, and my guts felt funny (mostly the return of the side effect of Mounjaro where the contents of the stomach don't empty, and start to ferment). The good was probably the late afternoon beer tasting session - sort of. My day, with some notes about this morning, is more fully described in my complete archived page for today.

  This morning started with a weak sunny spell or two, but it looks like today could end up as wet as yesterday....although heavy rain is only forecast for 1pm today. Much of the day will be almost chilly, or definitely chilly for June. The afternoon may only reach 13° C, but the evening could see 16° C. Tomorrow is going to be a grey day, but it may stay dry, The afternoon temperature may reach 21° C, but that still seems low considering we are roughly a fortnight away from mis summers day !
 
  I am not sure why, but I am going to describe yesterday as a good day. I probably did do all I set out to do, and that was mostly to make sure I received all the parcels I was expecting. My full day, or as much as I can remember, or seems relevant, is more fully described in my complete archived page for today, and it includes some notes about this morning.

  This morning has started bright bright and sunny, and there is still enough weak hazy sunshine to cast a feint shadow. Rain should have started half an hour ago as I write this, but it remains dry. I am sure that sooner or later it will rain, and it could last until mid evening. It is possible that 4 and 5pm may see some thunderstorms. This afternoon may only see a maximum of 16° C.  A lot of rain is forecast for tomorrow, and some of it may be heavy rain, but it seems it will not be warm enough to trigger any thunderstorms. Tomorrow afternoon may only reach a chilly 13° C, but it may be warmer in the early evening with 16° C around sun set.
 
  My mind is almost a complete blank about yesterday. I know that nothing much happened,but I am sure I can pad today's diary entry out with some recollections. My health readings this morning suggest I did something right yesterday. All I can remember, plus some notes about this morning, is all written in my complete archived page for today.

  This morning is definitely bright and sunny, but if the forecast is right it will soon get cloudy, and more rain could fall after midday. Today the afternoon temperature may only reach 17° C for one single hour at 3pm, and most of the afternoon could be a couple of degrees cooler. The rain may stop at 5pm, and from then until sunset we could get sunny spells and sunshine. Tomorrow may be an even colder day, and the afternoon may feature thundery showers. This is not June weather at all.
 
  I didn't realise it until this morning, but yesterday was a semi-good day. The rain put me off doing anything outdoors, but there was a long lull in the rain, and it was long enough to go shopping and get home again without getting wet. The rest of my day, and some notes about this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page for today.

  As I write this (actually at 9.30am) it is bone dry outside, but I must admit the sky does look grey and threatening. Somehow I find the idea of thundery showers, of which only one is shown despite it being a headline feature, seems unlikely. At some point there is almost certainly going to be rain, and once it starts it might continue through to 8pm when the sun may come out. The afternoon temperature may just be  17° C. Tomorrow could start with full sunshine. The rest of the day may feature some random sunny spells, and mostly in the first half of the day, some showers. Late tomorrow afternoon may see the temperature reach 17° C for a short while, but much of the day will be a fair bit cooler.
 
  Yesterday may have been dry, which could have been good, but it was also rather dull, which was bad. I did not feel inspired to do much. I had been thinking of going shopping, but the dullness put me off, as did some very bad weight and blood glucose measurements in the morning. All I did, which I admit was not much, is described in my complete archived page for today, and which also includes some notes about this morning.

  Today may be totally dry, but once again it will be a rather cool day. This morning we have had some very sparse sunny spells, but the rest of the day will be rather dull, although maybe not dull enough to be gloomy. This afternoon should see 18° C, which seems very poor for June. Tomorrow we may be back to all day rain, and the afternoon may struggle to reach a very poor 16° C, but 4pm may see 17° C for that one single hour. I still think the seasons have gone crazy.
 
  Yesterday was a day when I hardly did a thing. I seemed to be in a very lazy mood, or maybe I was just lacking inspiration. A cool and soggy wet day can do that to me. All I did that I can describe, is written in my complete archived page for today, and it includes the usual notes about my health and stuff this morning.

  After may we seem to have gone back to April instead of moving on to June. Today will feature many "April showers". In the forecast, every hour up until 9pm is shown as raining. It is also all shown as light rain (except 4pm). So far it seems like we have onoly had passing showers lasting maybe 10 minutes at a time. It still makes for a nasty soggy day. Today's highest temperature will be at midday and 1pm when just 16° C is forecast. We really have moved back to April instead on on to June ! Tomorrow could start with some sunny spells and even sunshine, but from 9am onwards, it may be dull, but it may be dry. The afternoon temperature may reach a slightly better than today, 19° C. What ever happened to "Flaming June" ?
 
  Yesterday was another not very exciting day. I had one thing planned and I didn't do it, and I also didn't go shopping because I thought it would bring too many food temptations. What I did do is described in my complete archived page for today, and which includes some notes about this morning, as usual.

  This morning there are a lot of grey clouds about, and it does look like rain could be possible. The forecast actually shows a 10% chance of rain for a few hours this morning, and I have just noticed 12% for 11am - so possible, but unlikely. We do seem to have lost the sunny spells we had earlier. This afternoon is shown as dull, and rather cool at just 17° C. From 7pm there may be a few hours of full sunshine - nice, but a bit late to do much with it. Tomorrow may feature almost a full day of light rain, and it will be even colder with an afternoon "high" of 15° C, but midday may be 16° C !!
 
  Yesterday was one of those days that had it's moments, but a lot of it seemed a bit bland. It was a day when I felt extra lazy, and barely managed to do the washing up, and cleaning and polishing of the beer glasses in time for a Thursday afternoon beer tasting session. My complete description of yesterday, plus a few notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  Last night seemed quite cool, but I am not sure if it fell to just 14° C. It is currently about 18° C, and we are having sunny spells instead of thunderstorms. The weather forecast (screen shot above) looks grim, but while there are a few dark clouds in the sky, there are possibly more blue patches. It is dry now, and maybe dry later as well. It is already warmer than the forecast for the afternoon temperature (just 16 and later 17° C). The Met Office forecast shows no thunderstorms, but it does show the sunny spells we are having now (or had, because it has just gone a bit dull). It does show a fair bit of rain, but most of it looks to be light rain. If it can be trusted to be anything like reality, the BBC forecast for tomorrow shows sunshine and then sunny spells until mid morning. After that it will be dull, but no rain is forecast for tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon's temperature may only reach 17° C.
 
  Yesterday was a fair day. Getting one of my new Sigma lenses early was great, and after a wash I could go out to walk to The Jolly Farmers without having to worry about rushing before the estimated delivery time of my parcel. The complete description of my day (or I can remember) can be read in my complete archived page for today, and which includes some notes about this morning.

  Much of today could be wet, although no heavy rain, and no thunderstorms are forecast. At just 13° C it is a rather cool start to the day, and the best we can hope for is 18° C at 5pm. Tonight the temperature will fall down to 14° C. Tomorrow may start at just 13° C (after the hottest May on record, it now looks like we may be getting the coldest June ever !). The maximum temperature tomorrow may be just 17° C. Rain is forecast for all daylight hours tomorrow, and the BBC forecast shows many thunderstorms - more than were forecast for yesterday.
 
  Yesterday was another rather dull day, and once again I had to invent stuff to do to keep me occupied for some of the time. None of it was very productive, and one thing could be called destructive. I thought I had managed to control my eating quite well for such a day, but this morning there seems to be proof I must have been quite reckless. My day is more fully described in my complete archived page for today, and which includes some notes about this morning.

  This morning we started at 15° C, and a lot of rain. It looked like it had been raining in the night as well, but I was not awake to observe that. The rain may continue, with maybe a pause at 11am, until 8pm tonight. Most rain is shown as light rain, but there will be heavier periods of rain, and maybe we will get the thunderstorms that appear on the BBC weather forecast, but not on the Met Office forecast ! This afternoon the temperature may peak briefly at 19° C. It is going to be a cool day ! Tomorrow may be even cooler. An afternoon high of just 17° C is forecast. It will be another dull day with a lot of light rain, but maybe no thunderstorms.
 
  Yesterday was a rather dull day, and I had to invent stuff to do to keep me occupied some of the time. Fortunately it was useful stuff. One thing was not an invention but a needed thing. That vagueness is explained along with a more complete description of my day, plus some notes about this morning, all in my complete archived page for today.

  We start the month of June with weather which would have been more appropriate to May. This morning featured a chilly wind blowing in my window even if the thermometer said it was 14° C outside. A few sunny spells may help to warm things up this morning, but they finished around 8am. Until 5pm it will be dull, but the afternoon may still see 20° C. After 5pm it is forecast that we will get wet. Mostly light rain is expected from then on, and into the night. A few hours may feature heavy rain, but I should be safely tucked up in bed when that happens. The BBC are having that fantasy about thunderstorms again. There could be a thunderstorm as early as 4am tomorrow morning, and more in the morning and afternoon. The afternoon temperature tomorrow may only reach 19° C. It could be dry after 9pm tomorrow.
 
  Yesterday was, in some respects a good day, but it wasn't good all the time. On the plus side I did some shopping, and I did some laundry. I must admit that still left quite a few hours to be bored in. Despite few attractions I thought I managed to control my eating quite well, but I did make one tragic mistake. My complete description, or all I can remember, of yesterday can be read, along with notes about this morning, in my complete archived page for yesterday.
