The Weather Thread.

High pressure combined with barely any wind the last few days will do that. The pollution from the burning ships is a drop in the ocean compared to 70 million people going about their lives.

[Marv]

Colour me confused; the last couple of days or so the air quality here has been Unhealthy dipping into Very Unhealthy - I didn't know that level existed - with a NE/NNE wind. Boats crash with much fire NNEish from here, air quality is now Fair

I was looking at the air quality in Bogota, and despite much of the transport belching out a lot of fumes from their tailpipe and it being a bustling city of around 8m, the air quality was still better than at home, in rural Suffolk

I think Mitoboy is correct though. High pressure means the particulates aren’t dispersed.

Alright Marv, we get it - you’re in Colombia!!

Jeez will you stop going on about it…

[Marv]

You'll be pleased to hear that I got back today then, Dinny!

Last international flight until late next year, probably.

Trip report??

[nuttinnew]

Continuing my run of not knowing what is where when, I checked the time of the equinox (pondering a drive to Sto-nenge for sunrise) and it was this morning at 9:01

[nuttinnew]

Full moon! Murky sky, nothing to see but you can taste the gritty air

[integrale_evo]

Was really pinky / orange around 8pm.

I had last week off and it’s been lovely. A little chilly first thing, but plenty of lovely sun. Quite a contrast from the rubbish start to the year.

[jamcg]

It’s a lovely day to be in a van with no air con

After a pretty crappy start, it already feels like we’ve had more decent days this year than the whole of last

[Gavster]

Heatwave incoming... predicted 32ºC on Sunday and start of next week. This is why I need to move to Italy, I bloody love this weather

[Beany]

I fucking hate it

Good job I'm off next week, I suspect I'll just be melting.

[Rich B]

i’ve got the AW day with the lotus tomorrow. The blower motor decided to stop working last week (not that it did much) so i’m going to be extra hot! i think it’ll be “roof off, sun lotion on”.

[Jobbo]

I realised when I got home last night that I hadn't much benefited from the air-con being on in the MX5 because the roof was off. Usually it's quite nice to step out of the cool car. Might drive home with the roof up tonight

[Gavster]

To be fair, when it goes into the high twenties or into the thirties for a few days, my brain's ability to think quickly and logically disappears and filming videos goes out the window after 10am because I'm a sweaty mess. I put an aircon unit in my office back in 2022, and it's been a game-changer during heatwaves, as I can actually keep working through the whole day.

[integrale_evo]

Bloody love the warm dry sunny weather.

However hayfever has been killing me the last couple of the weeks which makes it not so much fun.

[V8Granite]

I need rain, my water butts are running dry!

Dave!

[Jobbo]

Fill Dave's butt!

[V8Granite]

A good long dribble will fill it soundly!

[Beany]

Welp, I'm basically dead in this heat.

How's everyone else surviving?
