The weather

[wendy]

I can see on the TV at Wimbledon how lovely the weather is, but here in Norfolk, all it keeps doing is raining, and the wind is blowing and it is cold.
It looks like winter outside my window.
I am pleased that people have good weather, but I wish some would come this way.

It was cooler today and cloudy all day & we had an hours rain after lunch.

Sometimes when it's warm and sunny here it's cloudy and wet elsewhere.

I wish it was warmer and drier today, my washing got soaked in the rain and I had to put it through the washer again, it was wetter when I got it in than it was when I put it out.

We have had rain on and off all day, it was also a lot cooler.

We have had flooding in the village again, and I just heard that we have had the most weather in a week, that we would normally get in a month.

We have only had a light drizzle this am , but it is cold and grey. I have a jumper on & the heating back on

I've just been reading about the weather over the centuries and it was no different 200-300  years ago, they had severe weather back then.

I found that really interesting, thank you Mo.
This may be of interest.

A good read is the Norfolk and Suffolk Weather Book which charts the vagaries of our weather across the decades. The popular view is that extreme weather events, such as those which some parts of the county experiences yesterday, are something new. When in fact they are nothing of the sort. Norwich has been flooded on more than one occasion. The 1912 flooding probably being the most significant. Back in 1843 the storm was so fierce that hail stones broke 700 panes of glass in a factory at Lakenham. In 1888 it snowed in July and was so mild in the December that roses were in flower, primroses were in abundance and strawberries were being picked on Christmas Day. Before we all go into panic mode history shows that coastal and fluvial flooding and coastal erosion have always been with us. It`s just that we now live in a world driven by social media and wall to wall news coverage that events, that we would have normally taken in our stride, are being given more significance than they deserve.

I am sure Liz said it is going to be very hot tomorrow.
So enjoy

If that is the case, I shall be off down the canal again to see the swans  & maybe sit in the garden in the afternoon, although I suspect it will not quite reach the north!!!
