This morning has started fairly sunny with long sunny spells. There could be a small splash of rain very late in the afternoon at 4 and 5pm, but with only a 35% of it happening it is most likely to stay dry. The afternoon should see 21° C. Unfortunately a lot of the day will be dull. Once again, CORRECTION: The latest revision to the forecast shows light rain, or drizzle, from midday to 6pm, but once again the highest chance is only 41% at 4pm. That probably means most of that time will be dry. The headline figure for tomorrow looks good, but the afternoon will still only see 21° C. Tomorrow morning may be bright for a while, but then there will only be occasional sunny spells in a mostly dull day.

  Yesterday was another mostly OK, but not very exciting day. There was no beer drinking, but I did wash 6 pairs of underpants, and a t-shirt. This and more is all more fully described in my complete archived page today which includes all that happened yesterday, plus some notes about this morning.

  Today has started off nice and bright. The "sunny spells" seem so long that it would not be inaccurate to describe it as sunny as I write this. Maybe this afternoon will see some light rain. The afternoon should reach 21° C, but after 5pm it will slowly start to cool. By 9pm it may only be 18° C, which is still not that bad, but that may also be when we get a thunderstorm to start some light rain for much of the night. CORRECTION: The latest update to the forecast has moved the thunderstorm to midnight tonight. Tomorrow may be mostly dry, but it will be dull, and the afternoon temperature may only reach 21° C, but that is the same as today, and I don't think it will feel cold.

  Yesterday was mostly OK, but with one big disappointment that was actually of no consequence. Perhaps the best thing about yesterday was that I went out shopping in just a t-shirt, and didn't feel a drop of rain. The rest of my day yesterday, plus the usual notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page about yesterday.

  Today has started off wet, and it may continue to be wet all day. So far I have only seen light sprinkles of rain, but heavier rain is forecast. From late afternoon there could be thundery showers, but I find the BBC forecast tend to get over eager to forecast thundery showers. Maybe we will get a couple, but not 6 hours of them as in the forecast. It is notable that the Met Office forecast shows rain for most of the day, but most of it is shown as light rain, and there is not a single mention of thunderstorms. Tomorrow may start dull, but there will be sunny spells from late afternoon until sunset, although the periods between the sunny spells may be a bit long. There may be light rain from early evening onwards, and 7pm could see a thunderstorm.

  Yesterday was not a good day, although there was only one thing that really spoiled it. Although it was sort of expected. It was all one big distraction that altered the proper course of my day. That one thing was my upcoming visit to the hospital for a colonoscopy and gastroscopy. This and other stuff is expanded upon in my complete archived page about yesterday, and which, as usual, has some notes about this morning.

  This morning is nice and bright. The sky is currently blue to the south, but there are some fluffy clouds to the north. There do seem to be some darker clouds just above the visible horizon to the north. The forecast says sunny spells, and maybe even an hour of full sunshine until 3pm when there is a mere 38% of rain. at 4pm the chance goes up to 58%, and so it probably will rain, but I have doubts it will be a thunderstorm, although it could happen. 5 and 6pm show a 55 and 54% chance of light rain. After that it should be dry, but dull until nightfall. Tomorrow is forecast to be very wet with a chance of a lot of thundery showers according to the BBC (Meteo) forecast, and the Met Office forecast scales that down to mainly light rain with no thunderstorms.

  Yesterday was, as I predicted in the morning, a day of rest. I wondered if I might end up doing something, but I didn't. I can sum up yesterday as reading, snoozing and eating, plus some TV watching. I have written a bit more than that, but not much about yesterday, and it can be read in my complete archived page about yesterday, and which includes some notes about this morning too.

  This morning it was still 19° C at 7am, and it was raining. I was actually woken up by the sound of heavy rain on my bedroom window. There were a more heavy showers, but the forecast thunderstorm did not visit to within earshot of here. More rain is forecast, but it is either very, very light, or it has stopped for now. The next thunderstorm could happen in less than 30 minutes, but I have doubts about it, as I do for the prediction of another thunderstorm at 1pm. I can believe there will be more rain though. This afternoon should reach a mildly warm 23° C. A lot more rain is shown for the second half of the day, but the chances of it are shown as less than 45%, and them usually means it will be dry. As a matter of interest, the only thunderstorm predicted for today by the Met Office was at 6am, and no more are shown on the forecast, and it shows today as being mainly dry. Tomorrow, according to the BBC (Meteo) forecast, will be dry with sunny spells.

  Yesterday was another quite good day. You can read all I wrote about yesterday, and some notes about this morning, in my complete archived page written today.

  Thunderstorms were forecast for the early hours of this morning. There was some rain, but I heard no thunder. It should have just finished raining as I write this, but since sunrise it has been bright with sunny spells. The next chance of rain is at 4pm, but it is only a 31% chance, and so will probably stay dry. It seems like it might be another nice day. Once again, thunderstorms are forecast for 4am tomorrow morning. Maybe they will happen this time. The current forecast for tomorrow shows lots of rain in the morning. Some may be very heavy, and there could be some thunder and lightning. From 2pm sunny spells may return for the rest of tomorrow.

  Yesterday was quite a good day. I had my first walk in the park for what seems like, and probably was, ages. I didn't have any washing cluttering up the bath, and so I could wash my hair, and have a shower. On top of everything else it was warm, but not hot, and sunny - sunny enough that I wore my Panama sun hat when I went out. My full account of yesterday, plus some notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page written this morning.

  Apart from a couple of hours that may see full sunshine, today may mostly see sunny spells. It will be warmer than yesterday with 24° C predicted. In the small hours on tomorrow there could be some light rain, although the forecast does show lightning for 2 and 3am, but with a slightly less than 50 % chance of it happening - so it may still stay dry. Tomorrow there is an 82% chance of rain at 6am, and so that will almost certainly happen. At 7am there could be a thunderstorm, but there is only a 67% of that - that is in the may/may not sort of area. The rest of yesterday may see sunny spells with a small chance of light rain at almost any time.

  Yesterday could be called a good day. I did three, and possibly four useful things. The key to it all was finishing the laundry soaking in a big bucket that was in the bath that was stopping me having a shower. All these things, and more are included in my complete archived page describing yesterday, and the start of this morning.

  My thermometers reckon it is a degree or two warmer than the forecast for this morning. It is currently quite bright out, even if the forecast actually predicts it should be a bit dull now. There is a fair bit of thin cloud that could weaken any sunshine, but the forecast says that by midday we will be back to sunny spells, and full sunshine from 2pm. It will only raise the temperature to 21° C, but that is a very comfortable temperature. Tonight may not be quite as fresh as last night, and tomorrow may start at 17° C. A mostly dull day is forecast for tomorrow, but it will still be dry, and the afternoon could see 22° C.

  Much of yesterday was a fairly bland day. Maybe the only time it wasn't, was in the late afternoon/early evening. All that I could describe of yesterday, plus some notes about this morning, is described in my complete archived page about yesterday, and written this morning.

  This morning was another cold morning after a cold night. I think my thermometers agreed it was between 11 and 12° C at  6am. A mix of sunshine and sunny spells (nearly all sunny spells) should warm the afternoon up to 23° C. It is possible tonight will be less cold than last night, but only by a degree or two. Tomorrow will be almost the same as today, but one small change is that the afternoon is only expected to reach 21° C.

  Yesterday was not a good day except for two occasions, and both those occasions, or waiting for them, was the reason why the rest of yesterday was not that good. There is a fuller description of yesterday, plus some notes about this morning, and it can be read in my complete archived page for yesterday.

  I think this morning could be described as cold. The forecast predicted just 12° C at 6am, but it was closer to 14° C when I checked at about 8am. That still seems a bit chilly to me, and also seems rather less than I would expect in August - one of the summer months in my book. It is nice and sunny right now, and warming up indoors probably faster than outside. At 11am the full sunshine gives way to sunny spells, but the temperature should continue to rise, and by 3pm it should reach 21° C. After dark the temperature will fall quite low again. Tomorrow may only see 13° C at 6am, but once again there may be full sunshine followed by sunny spells, and tomorrow afternoon may see 23° C.

  Yesterday was only good in so much as I got my beer delivery. Apart from that it was not a very exciting day, but it did provide clues that today could be a bit more satisfying. More of my day yesterday, and some notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page about yesterday.

  This morning started fairly cool, just 13° C, but like yesterday it was dry with some sunny spells. The sunny spells should continue until maybe 4pm when we might have up 4 hours of light rain, although the highest chance of rain is just 41% at 5pm. It may stay dry all that time on such low chances. This afternoon may reach 20° C. It looks like it could be another very cool night. Tomorrow could start as low as 12° C, but the cause, clear skies, will also bring full sunshine until mid morning when it will change to sunny spells for the rest of the day. It could reach 21° C tomorrow afternoon. 

  Yesterday included some good news, but was not a very exciting day except for the late afternoon beer tasting session, but even that had it's downsides. The full description of my day yesterday, or at least any bits that are describable, can be read in my complete archived page about yesterday, and which includes notes about this morning.

  This morning started fairly cool, just 15° C, but it was dry with some quite long sunny spells. By midday it may cloud over, and we could have light rain until 9pm. The afternoon will only reach 21° C - almost cool by recent standards. Once again it will probably be quite a cool feeling night. 6am tomorrow could be just 13° C. Tomorrow may be dry with sunny spells all day, but the afternoon may only reach 20° C. 

  Yesterday was not unpleasant, but it was not very exciting either. I think the dull weather, and the occasional rain dampened my enthusiasm to do much, but I did manage two things. These and other stuff about yesterday is all described in my complete archived page about yesterday, and which includes a few notes about this morning.

  Like yesterday, this morning started with rain, and it seemed more than a light sprinkle, although still far from heavy. The forecast promises more rain through the rest of the day. Between showers there could be some sunny spells. This afternoon could reach 23° C, and there is a fair chance it will be raining. 8pm, just 15 minutes before sunset, could see clear skies and full sunshine ! Tomorrow could start at 15° C, but with sunny spells and maybe even a period of full sunshine. Tomorrow afternoon may only see 21° C in the afternoon, and it may also feature light rain. 

  I don't think I could say that yesterday was a particularly good day, but it was generally OK. I did a few things, and I might have done more, but the grey outside dampened my enthusiasm. Everything I can think of that I did yesterday is more fully described, along with some notes about this morning, in my complete archived page about yesterday.

  The forecast said there would be some light rain this morning, and indeed there was. It seemed like there may have been a bit more rain before when I first saw raindrops on my bedroom window. It has stopped now....or maybe that might be for now because it is still very dull outside.  No further rain is shown in the forecast until 3am tomorrow morning but the air still smells of rain. It was not a very cool night, and it is currently 22° C.  This afternoon may only reach 24° C, and although probably very dull, it is still t-shirt and shorts weather. Tomorrow may start with light showers again, and there could be more in the early evening. Late tomorrow morning could se a few sunny spells, and the afternoon may see 23° C.

  Yesterday was yet another day where very little happened, or perhaps that should say nothing big happened, but a few small things did happen. Everything I could thing of about yesterday is described in my complete archived page for yesterday, and which has some notes about this morning.

  Today has started at around 19° C, and so not as fresh as would be nice. On the other hand, the sky is almost clear blue with just a scattering of thin wispy clouds. There may be some sunny spells at almost random times today, but the afternoon should still see 25° C. No rain is shown as falling today, but a tiny chance of rain is shown at various times - just 15% is the most likely at 7pm. There is a small (39 to 51%) chance of rain tomorrow morning. The whole day is predicted to be dull, and the afternoon may only reach 24° C. It is looking like the rest of this month may be dull and cooler than I thought I expected for August.

  Yesterday was yet another day where very little happened. Even the afternoon beer tasting didn't happen, and I only broke my teetotalling (if such a word exists) by having a single, but very large whiskey in the evening. I've noted the few things that did happen yesterday, plus some notes about this morning, in my complete archived page about yesterday.

  Last night was a bit cooler than the night before, but I still slept uncovered with the fan on. This morning it is light grey - just as the forecast predicted. It will be interesting to see if the next bit of the forecast is correct. From 11am until 1pm we could see the first rain in weeks and weeks. Some sunny spells may return at 4pm, and the temperature will peak at 25° C. Tonight may be very slightly warmer than last night. Tomorrow may only see a few sunny spells, and most of the day may be a bit dull. The afternoon temperature may peak at 25°C again. The day after tomorrow, Tuesday, could see a bigger chance of rain. Maybe just light rain, but there is a 50% chance at 9am, and that means at least that hour will probably see rain.

  Yesterday was yet another day where very little happened. Unlike the day before I can't blame it on being too hot and sticky. Fortunately a few useful things did happen. My day, such as it was, is more fully described in my complete archived page for yesterday, and which includes some notes about this morning.

Last night was most definitely a "tropical night" with temperature around 22° C all night (and it was 30° C in my bedroom all night too). This morning it does feel a bit fresher, but 20° C is not that fresh. This morning we have some sunny spells, but from about 11am it could turn a bit dull. That will keep the afternoon down to a still fairly hot 26° C. Tonight looks like it may be cooler, and maybe the lower temperature today will give my bedroom a chance to cool a bit as well. Tomorrow, at 6am, it could be just 17° C. That should feel a bit fresher, and by comparison it may even feel cold, but it won't be really. Most of tomorrow will be dull, and the afternoon temperature may only reach 25° C, but there could be some sunny spells in the afternoon (maybe from about 3pm).

  Yesterday was another day where very little happened. That suited me fine. It felt hot and sticky and I didn't feel like doing much.  That is not to say I did nothing. What I did do is described in my complete archived page about yesterday. It also includes the usual notes about my health and possible ideas for what I might do today.

   After a fairly warm night, with the temperature possibly not dipping below 20° C, we now face full sunshine and 33° C this afternoon. Once again it will be a "tropical night" with temperature still above 20° C at daybreak tomorrow. The forecast says it will be 25° C at midnight tonight ! The early morning tomorrow may feature full sunshine, but most of tomorrow will only see sunny spells. It will be a bit cooler with tomorrow afternoon only reaching 26° C. Tomorrow's afternoon humidity may be around 50%, and I think that will feel less sweaty. It may be a nice day tomorrow even if there is less sunshine. Like yesterday, and today, tomorrow will see no rain, but next Tuesday (18th August) may see the first rain in weeks.

  It is already late in the morning as I write this, and so I am going to try and be as brief as possible today. It is useful that only a couple of notable things happened yesterday, and I can explain those very briefly...or apparently not. The full text of all I wrote today, mostly about yesterday, can be read in my complete archived page for yesterday, and which includes several notes about this morning as well.

   The night seemed moderately fresh, but it was still 19° C at 7am this morning. Another day of full, uninterrupted sunshine should see the afternoon temperature reach 35° C. It is looking like tonight may be quite a warm night. Tomorrow should see full sunshine until about 5pm. Despite that it may be a little cooler. The afternoon temperature may only reach 32° C thanks to a change of wind from a cooler direction (from the north west).

  Yesterday could be described as a good day, but not as far as an excellent day. There were two main things that made it good, and I am not sure which was the best. This is described, and well illustrated, in my complete archived page about yesterday, and which also includes some notes about this morning.

   It seemed cooler than 18° C at 7am this morning, but I will admit I didn't think to check my own thermometers. Today full sunshine is forecast, and it seems it is going to get very warm. A peak of 31° C is forecast. It looks like it will be a warm and sticky night too. Tomorrow should see full sunshine all day again, and it will raise the temperature to a scorching 35° C. After tomorrow it will cool down again. Next Monday it might even rain !

  Yesterday was another day where I was mostly resting. I had no appointments, and was not expecting any deliveries. It all meant I could put my feet up, and do nothing. Of course I did not do "nothing". What I did do is described, together with notes about this morning, in my complete archived page about yesterday.

   We are heading into the next heatwave now. Today will feature full sunshine all day, and the temperature should rise to  24° C in the afternoon. Tomorrow should also feature full sunshine, but the afternoon temperature may hit 31° C. The day after tomorrow (Thursday) may see 34° C, but after that the following days may be a bit cooler.

  Yesterday only featured one main thing, and even that I can probably describe in few words. Today could be a fairly brief diary entry, although I may remember other stuff that may make longer (one thing has already come to me !). Of course it has turned out longer than expected......All I wrote about yesterday, and some notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

    Today will be cooler than yesterday.....or will it ? Right now it should be dull, but it seems sunny to me, although a cloud has passed in front of the sun making the view to the south a tiny bit duller. If the sunny spells do fail, they should be back at midday. The temperature seems like it will be highest late in the afternoon with 26° C forecast for 5 and 6pm. Once again it will be bone dry, and we will have another cool night. Tomorrow may have full sunshine during daylight hours, but only 24° C is forecast.

  Yesterday featured a change of plans from some plans to a single plan (or two if you include washing my hair and having a shower as one plan). The major plan was for a beer tasting session in the late afternoon, but Jodie said she had other plans - a gig ! My other plan was a visit to Tesco. That, and more about my day, is described in my complete archived page about yesterday (including some notes about this morning).

    The forecast says this morning only features sunny spells, but they seem such long spells that I hardly noticed it was not full sunshine. Today, like yesterday, will be completely dry. This afternoon may reach 30° C ! It seems it will be a warm night too. Tomorrow may start with full sunshine, but it will turn to sunny spells during the morning, maybe at 10am. Tomorrow afternoon may only reach 26° C, and that for possibly only two hours.

  Yesterday could have been a mega busy day, but it was more like a holiday ! It was all because of a fault with the railway signalling system somewhere down the line from Shortlands (maybe it said near Swanley). It made getting to see The Life Of Brian in the Bromley Churchill Gardens a bit too messy, but there were other reasons too. My resulting day is more fully described in my complete archived page for today (which includes notes about this morning).

has started with full sunshine, but from 10am until sunset there may only be sunny spells.  The afternoon temperature may rise to 26° C after a fairly chilly start. Update ! The latest version of the forecast has changed many of the sunny spells to full sunshine, but the afternoon temperature remains the same. Tomorrow may see a mix of sunny spells and full sunshine. The afternoon temperature could reach 30° C.

  Yesterday morning I felt rotten. Sometimes it seemed a bit like a hangover, and sometimes something else. The more significant thing was some odd feelings from my heart. There is more about this, other stuff, and a bunch of my photos, and all can be seen in my complete archived page for today.

  Today features full sunshine from dawn to dusk, and that should raise the temperature to 25° C, but not until 5pm. The night is going to be another chilly night. Tomorrow may start at just 15° C, but a lot of full sunshine, with a few hours of just sunny spells, should raise the afternoon temperature to 26° C. Sunday may see the return of 30° C !

  I feel rotten this morning. Some of it seemed like it was going to be a stomach upset, but that quickly resolved itself with a visit to the toilet. The rest is like I have a hangover, and that would be fine if only I had drunk any booze yesterday, but I didn't touch a drop. I reckon it is probably the latest media darling, Ebola. All I had to say about yesterday can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  The temperature fell a lot during last night and the early hours of this morning. The temperature has now risen to 18° C, and it is feeling reasonable again. When I first got out of bed, wearing very little, and with the window open all night, it felt damn chilly - just 14° C ! There is full sunshine at the moment, but will give way to mostly sunny spells soon. The afternoon may only reach 22° C.  It will be another very fresh night, but tomorrow may see a bit more sunshine than today. Tomorrow's afternoon peak may still only be 24° C. From Saturday we may see the temperature rising again, and by Sunday we may sizzle at 30° C again.

  Yesterday was a sort of busy day - busy enough that I had little time for any decent resting/snoozing, and no time to start re-writing yesterday's diary which I accidently deleted when I had to do a reboot after a new Linux kernel was installed on my PC. I've uploaded a sort of place holder saying that I never managed to write anything yesterday, but today I have written the usual load of old rubbish (!) and that can be read right here.

  This morning will see non stop sunshine until midday, and then a few hours of sunny spells before the full sunshine returns until the sun set. It may only take the temperature up to a maximum of 27° C. From about midnight it will get a bit cloudy, and tomorrow will only see sunny spells until 4pm when we may see the return of non stop sunshine until sunset. Today and tomorrow will be completely dry, although at 3pm today the chance of rain will rise from zero to a completely ignorable 6% !

  Yesterday was one of those days where I could be as busy as I wanted to be, and although I wasn't always busy, I seemed to find little time to rest. My scales say I must have spent the day eating, while memory is that I spent a lot of the day photo editing. My more complete description of my day, with some photos, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  Today we return to heatwave territory. The forecast promises full sunshine all day long, and the afternoon may reach as high as 32° C for a single hour at 5pm. Not a single drop of rain is forecast. Tomorrow could be very sunny, but the afternoon may only see sunny spells. The afternoon temperature will be several degrees lower than today with just 26° C forecast, although it is still quite hot enough for some.

  Yesterday was a fairly calm sort of day, although I was still busy enough to not really allow any time for some decent relaxation and snoozing. My day is more fully described, and illustrated with some pictures, and it can all be seen in my complete archived page for today.

  Today is going to be very similar to yesterday. Strong sunshine in the morning, but the afternoon may only see sunny spells. The last hours of daylight may feature clear skies and full sunshine again. The clear skies will give another fresh feeling night, and after 26° C in the afternoon, that may feel nice. Tomorrow may start at 17° C at 6am, but full sunshine will warm things up quite quickly, and the full sunshine should last until 3pm. By then the temperature may reach a sizzling 30° C. Once the sun sets it wont cool down that much, and tomorrow night, and the early hours of the next day may still be a sticky 20° C

  Yesterday was dominated by Petts Wood calling. I got there before the first band were on stage, and before the Mayor of Bromley had got up on stage to start the proceedings.  I have written a bit more than that, but I have not had time to select a single picture from yesterday to add to my complete archived page for today, but there are some notes about this morning.

  Today has started out feeling slightly chilly, but the sky is mostly clear, and the sun is shining. It may continue to shine until 3pm when we may only get sunny spells. This afternoon may only see 25° C, but that is pleasantly warm. It looks like tonight will be another cold night with the temperature dropping to 16° C by 4am, but that may be the lowest it goes. Tomorrow is predicted to be similar to today - full sunshine until mid morning, and then a mix of full sunshine and mainly sunny spells. The afternoon may be a little warmer than today, peaking at 26° C.

  Yesterday was another day where not a lot happened. Stuff might have happened, although I am not sure what, if I hadn't been waiting in for a parcel delivery from Amazon. My day is more fully described in my complete archived page for today.
