At 6am this morning it was a fresh feeling 17° C. It is currently very sunny, and by 1pm the temperature may rise to 27° C, but from then on we may only sunny spells until full sunshine returns at 6pm until sunset. Tonight looks like it may be fairly fresh like last night. Tomorrow may start cool, but with clear skies. There could be full sunshine until 1pm, and by then the temperature may only reach 25° C. Even with just sunny spells, the temperature may still climb to reach a peak of 27° C by 3pm tomorrow.

  Yesterday was a good and bad day. I guess I was good and bad too, but only with regard to some lifestyle choices. As noted yesterday, I had a phone call from Jodie suggesting we might bring the beer tasting session forward from Thursday to Wednesday. That made for a complete change of plans. My complete description of yesterday, and notes about this morning, or as much of it I can remember, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  My thermometers said it was still 19° C at about 6am. I think that still means last night could be called a tropical night, although it didn't seem to feel hot and sweaty like most tropical nights. The earlier sunny spells have now given away to full, non stop sunshine, but cooler winds from the east mean this afternoon may only see a high of 27° C. As I write this (10:41am) it is already 25° C, and so only 2° to go. The full sunshine should continue until sunset, and then clear skies may allow the temperature to drop fairly fast to 19° C by 2am tomorrow morning. It looks like it may feel quite fresh tonight. Only a few hours tomorrow afternoon will feature just sunny spells, and the rest of tomorrow will see full, non stop sunshine. The afternoon may only reach 27° C - the same as today.

  Yesterday featured another bad disappointment, but was mostly a quiet day. I had two plans for yesterday that never happened, and they were because of a mix of waiting for a parcel/packet delivery (which did arrive this time) and some ongoing aftershocks from my stomach upset. My day, such as it was, is more fully described, along with some notes about this morning, in my complete archived page for yesterday.

  This morning the sky is fairly cloudy, and that makes it look grey in some directions, but some sunny spells are still getting through. Like yesterday it was a cool night and today started at just 16° C at 6am. The sunny spells are getting a bit longer, and by 3pm we could have full sunshine until sunset. The sunshine will take this afternoon's temperature up to 30° C by 3pm. That is maybe a little too hot, but it depends on what you are doing. The sunshine should continue until sunset. Tonight may not be quite as fresh as last night - it may still be 19° C at 3am. Tomorrow may start with sunny spells, and 18° C at 6am. By 8am we could have full, non stop sunshine until sunset. Tomorrow after may be slightly cooler at just 28° C - which should feel OK.

  Yesterday was almost unlike anything I might have predicted. For a start, the package delivery I thought might happen was just me being stupid. What did happen, plus a few pictures and notes about this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page for today.

  This morning there are straggly clouds that occasionally dim the sun, but at the moment it is quite sunny.  By midday the forecast promises full sunshine, but it will only raise the temperature from this morning's 15° C to 26° C for a couple of hours. From 7pm some more light clouds will change the full sunshine to sunny spells until sunset. It is going to be another cool night. Tomorrow may start at 17° C, and it will be cloudy. The cloud will lift by 11am, and then we may have full sunshine until sunset. Tomorrow afternoon's high may be a warm 19° C.

  Yesterday should have been a good day, and a lot of it was not too bad. It is a shame I rather wrecked everything later in the the afternoon. My day is described, and illustrated with some photos, plus some notes about this morning, and it can all be seen/read in my complete archived page for today.

  The first few hours of today were dull, but I think it was a bright sort of dull ! From 9am full sunshine is forecast until sunset. That will take the temperature up to 28° C after a fairly cool start. last night escaped being another tropical night, and even now it still feels fairly fresh (currently 22° C at 10am). Tomorrow could start as low as 15° C, and the first few hours will only feature sunny spells. Full sunshine may only start at midday, and tomorrow afternoon may only reach 26° C. That should still be nice and warm in the sunshine, but not too warm.

  Yesterday was quite a good day for some types of good. Despite saying I ought to go out somewhere, I stayed in all day, but I managed to control my sugar intake well enough to get my blood glucose level down to almost sane levels. My day, yesterday, and some notes about this morning, is all described in my complete archived page for yesterday.

  With an early hours temperature as low as 18° C at 6am, it just scraped under the definition of a tropical night, last night. Today may be a whole degree cooler than yesterday, but a day of non stop sunshine, and 29° C predicted for this afternoon, it is still going to be a bit sweaty......although a breeze from the east may help it feel fresher.  Tomorrow is going to be very sunny again, and once again the afternoon temperature may peak at 28° C, but if the forecast turns out to be the same as reality, it will only be for two hour at 2 and 3pm The temperature drops a degree or two per hour either side of that. The breeze, once again from an easterly (or north easterly) direction may be a bit stronger, and may make it feel even fresher (but may be only in the shade).

  Yesterday I was sort of busy taking remedial action after I found my blood glucose had gone super high in the morning. What I did helped, but the danger is not over yet. The full version of yesterday can be read in my complete archived page for yesterday, and which also includes some notes about this morning.

  After another tropical night, with the temperature over 20° C, it was still 21° C at 6am. At the moment the sky not fully clear, but we have full sunshine, and the full sunshine could continue until midday. The afternoon may only see sunny spells, and maybe the temperature will only peak at 29° C - which is quite hot enough.  From 5pm full sunshine may resume, but tonight may escape being a dubbed a tropical night by the skin of it's teeth. The night time temperature may be 19° C. Tomorrow may see full sunshine all day, but the afternoon temperature may only reach 28° C. Tomorrow night may almost be cool by comparison, but the forecast 17° C is still going to mean having a fan on all night.

  Yesterday could be described as a disaster, or at least the end result of it was. I'll explain that later. Other than that is seemed a mostly pleasant day, and it was a pleasant beer tasting afternoon, but that left it's legacy, and it was a very bad one. The full description of my day, night, and this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  This morning, at about 6am, it was 23° C after what seems to be now called a "tropical" night (with the night time temperature over 20° C). By this afternoon the temperature could reach 33° C. The afternoon may only see sunny spells after a morning of full sunshine. I doubt the sunny spells will give any respite, and I feel that the afternoon could be very humid and extremely sticky. After sunset it will cool off, but it looks like tonight will be another hot and sticky tropical night. Tomorrow may feature almost non stop sunshine, but a maximum of only 29° C is forecast - probably because the wind will be from the east.

  I have already described yesterday morning because I continued to write after I came back from seeing the nurse. I guess I could describe yesterday as one of the better days, although maybe I am paying for it now. My full entry for today can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  The forecast of 21° C this morning seems correct. If the rest of the forecast is correct we will see non stop sunshine, and an afternoon temperature of 32° C. That could feel quite hot and sweaty. There will be another hot night with the temperature staying over 20° C all night. Tomorrow may see a little less sunshine - the afternoon may only see sunny spells - but the afternoon temperature may still rise to 32° C. It seems we are having another heatwave that may only start to cool a bit in a weeks time.

  Yesterday was a very frustrating day. It seemed like the parcel I was waiting for might never be delivered despite Yodel's terrible website suggesting it was on it's way - without really giving any details. On the other had, I did manage to lose a useful amount of weight, and my parcel did arrive before the day was over. My full description of the day, plus notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  Last night, and this morning, my barometers predicting rain. Last night the forecast said clear skies, but a glimpse out of the window showed dark, heavy clouds. It seemed to be all the ingredients for a thunderstorm. There was no thunderstorm in the night, and today's forecast shows non stop sunshine all day. That seems slightly unlikely because a lot of the sky looks a bit milky from lots of thin, high altitude, clouds that will attenuate some of the sunshine. Having said that, the sky to the south is starting to look blue, and maybe non stop sunshine is now not looking unlikely. The only surprise left is that today will be one degree cooler than yesterday with the afternoon only forecast to be 30° C, although that is quite hot enough, and in direct sunshine it could be scorching hot ! Tomorrow could be a re-run of today, but the afternoon may reach 31° C.

  Yesterday had it's moments, but mostly it was a frustrating day. On the other hand, I was pleased that I managed two tasks successfully, although I am not really sure how I should desc,ribe that success. I'll explain that a bit further down the page. My day is more fully described in my complete archived page for today and it includes the usual notes about this morning.

  Apart from the first and last hour of the forecast, today should feature full sunshine, and that should raise the afternoon temperature to 31° C. It seems we will have a hot and dry day. Tomorrow may feature full sunshine all day long, but contrary to earlier forecasts, when something like 34° C was predicted, the latest prediction for tomorrow is only 29° C.

  Yesterday was quite a good day, but it also brought hardships because of my very high, and getting dangerous, blood glucose. Trying to fast was the worst hardship. I did manage to get myself out for a walk in the park, and that may have helped a bit, but not enough. My full description of yesterday, plus some photos, and some notes about this morning, can all be read in my complete archived page for today.

  Like yesterday, this morning seems fairly cloudy, but the sun still keeps finding gaps in the cloud to shine through now and then. It is possible that between 10 and 11am the clouds will be thick enough to completely block the sun. By 7pm we may get a few hours of full sunshine before the sun sets. It will be cooler than yesterday by a single degree - today's high, at 4pm may be  27° C. No rain is forecast for today. Tomorrow could feature full sunshine throughout the daylight hours. It could raise the temperature to a sizzling 30° C by 3pm. By Wednesday we could see afternoon temperatures of just over 30° C for several days. The Met Office predict some days could see 33° C, and yet maybe it is because it is now July, no weather warnings or extreme heat have been issued (yet).

  Yesterday was, in some respects, quite a good day. Yesterday I finished by saying I would definitely not be going out at all. It was supposed to be reverse psychology, and it worked. I did go out, albeit only to buy shopping. My day is more fully described, along with notes about this morning, in my complete archived page for today.

  This morning it seemed fairly bright, but it was a couple of hour later before I saw sunshine strong enough to cast a shadow. It is still quite cloudy, and just as I wrote the last sentence the sun went in. To my mind it looks like it could rain, although no rain is shown on the forecast. From 3pm to 9pm we could have full sunshine, and that may raise the temperature to a very sweaty 28° C if the humidity is high as well. Before 3pm we may just have sunny spells, or sunny intervals (and I am unsure what the difference is between the two).  Once again it should be another very dry day. Tomorrow may see more sunny intervals than full sunshine, but the temperature should reach 28° C again, but maybe just for a single hour. Tomorrow should also be a dry day.

  Yesterday was another day when I thought I might do stuff, but somehow I either could not be bothered, or distracted myself by reading (both book and the internet) enough that I ended up doing nothing else. What I did do yesterday, and which includes taking one photo (and some video to be shown later) is all described in my complete archived page for today, and which includes the usual notes about this morning.

  There is definitely a lot of thin cloud around, but the sun is out as I write this, but it feels unlikely we could get full sunshine until midday. My guess would be sunny spells, and then maybe full sunshine when the forecast (above) shows only sunny spells. Whichever way round it is, the afternoon temperature should reach 25° C. That should feel very warm in full sunshine, and maybe quite warm enough even if only sunny spells. Much of tomorrow could see full sunshine, but the current forecast shows a few random hours of only sunny spells and even a single hour with no sunshine at all. It may well be a couple of degrees warmer than today.

  Yesterday could be said to have been dominated by just two things, and the rest of the day was rather dull. The first major thing happened after a minor, but still important thing - a shower. Later on I would go shopping, tidy the kitchen, and taste some new beers with Jodie and Michael. My full account of today, which includes some notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  The sky is definitely cloudy enough that light rain at 8am, as shown in the forecast above, does seem very possible. However the clouds are starting to dissipate, and we should/could soon see some sunny spells, and from midday there could be full sunshine (which I find hard to believe). The sunshine should raise the afternoon temperature to 26° C. It looks like it will be another cold night with the temperature down to 15° C. The cold start to tomorrow may not last long because full sunshine is forecast for the first hours of the morning. From 10am some light cloud will return, and the rest of the daylight hours may only see sunny spells. Tomorrow afternoon may see 25° C.

  I described much of tomorrow morning, after I got back from the surgery, and there is no more to add to that - except one thing. I was told I could pick up my next repeat prescription if I went to the pharmacy after 5pm, but I couldn't be bothered to go out again. The rest of yesterday, and the usual notes about this morning, can be read in my complete archived page for today.

  We start this new month with some sunny spell, and there was possibly full sunshine at 7am, as per the forecast. Much of the day will be dull, but maybe there will be full sunshine for 9pm - just as the sun is setting !

  Yesterday was another day when not much happened. I can probably dispose of it in just a few paragraphs, but even that may not be quick enough to finish before the big thing today - which is a visit to the surgery at 9.30am to discuss my blood pressure. All I wrote about yesterday, plus some notes about this morning, including my visit to the surgery, can be read in my complete archived page for today.
