14 degrees and bright at the moment. Forecast for rain later on - that should cool the cyclists down.

Rain earlier, getting sunnier now, not by any means been my idea of summer, have even been wearing a wooly jumper in the workshop...............IN AUGUST!!!

I read somewhere that this Storm Antoni is the first ever named Autumn storm. Since when has August been in Autumn.?

Very heavy rain overnight, still pretty heavy but a bit brighter now but only 11° rising to 13 this afternoon, certainly Autumn temps.

by Dave Gee Sat Aug 05, 2023 5:26 pm

Rains coming down in stair rods now - absolutely bouncing. Glad I got the odd jobs done earlier.

Good job that our rally next week is on school tarmac.

by IanH Sat Aug 05, 2023 7:07 pm

Rained all afternoon and some of the morning here, but nothing like our friends on here on Linc coast.

Allegedly improving throughout next week

This evening we ended up on the beach in the sunshine, wind dropped right off and quite a decent evening except the chips were £4 a portion and not even that good! Quite a few swimmers out in the water without wetsuit's, braver souls than me. Debris everywhere so plenty of clearing up tomorrow.

by Dave Gee Sat Aug 05, 2023 11:39 pm

Wetsuits? In the water around Britain? I would have thought hazmat suits would have been a better option
Then again..if they aren't wearing them.... yikes

Out with Tag In between heavy rain showers this morning,noticed surfers out at Cayton bay yesterday afternoon,mad or what.Brid beaches are still polluted dispite what local agencies say, should imagine the sewage overflow this morning will be coming out after the rain here over the past 24 hours.
Weather should fair better next week Peter, hope you enjoy the rally and chips.
Have a nice day.

Morning Boaby,

11 degrees and quite bright although the sun isn't shining. Rain forecast for early evening but weather is supposed to pick up as the week goes on.

by Askit Sun Aug 06, 2023 8:34 am

Yes, 57 swimmers ill after a triathlon in Sunderland Whistle1

See they opened a new section of the Yorkshire coast path from Bridlington to Filey Brigg Boaby, that will draw the punters in. Same weather here as Dave's got, couple of outside tasks to do before I start on the inside list shrugg

Take care all

Should imagine the coastal path will be very muddy Tony, I've had to avoid the path along from Sewerby due to the muddy conditions lately. More punters for the gulls to steal their pieces.
Light shower now, Loftus north of Whitby is flooded I'm told.
Boaby Morning Dave

by Dave 418 Sun Aug 06, 2023 5:25 pm

It was raining whilst I made breakfast but dried up by walking time. There have been a couple of showers but it’s brightened up but still chilly in the breeze.
I hope it stays dry in morning because I have to drop managements car at the garage for its MOT and walk home.

by burlingtonboaby Sun Aug 06, 2023 6:25 pm

Turned nice and sunny, but much cooler in the n/e wind,cold on the Sewerby cliff earlier.
Bridington Lyons festival.

Morning folks,

12 degrees and dry - no idea if it's overcast or not - it's still dark outside and I really want to be back in bed rather than heading out to work...

Have a nice day if your on your travels.

by burlingtonboaby Mon Aug 07, 2023 6:41 am

Morning Dave,see your up and away this morning, beautiful sunrise with blue clear sky, some cloud banks to the west, cooler at 10 degrees.
Good walk with Tag, he was in sniff mode this morning,so took abit longer. One good thing from all of these heavy down pours, the rain has washed away all the doo pooh of the footpaths, plagued with Doos here ( and gulls)
Have a nice day.

by Askit Mon Aug 07, 2023 8:30 am

Look like a similar day to yesterday, sunny spells with the occasional shower and fairly cool. Still working on the list of tasks assigned from yesterday shrugg

Take care all.

by Dave 418 Mon Aug 07, 2023 5:18 pm

A lovely bright day here if still a little chilly in the breeze when we walked back from the garage this morning. Once the car was ready for collection, passed MOT, it was a lot warmer.
As I said managements 58 plate Fiesta passed its MOT with a couple of minor advisories that can wait until its service next spring. It’s the first MOT since we bought it so it was a bit of an unknown. The garage did say one of the brake pipe brackets at the front was bent back stretching the brake hose so they sorted that. You can only wonder how long it was like that. shrugg

by Dave Gee Tue Aug 08, 2023 5:10 am

Good morning gentle peeps.

Wee bitty cooler this morning at 10 degrees but the sky is bright and clear of cloud and the forecast is for a sunny day today. Good news about the car Dave, that's it for another year anyway... Don't work too hard Tony and enjoy your walk with Tag this morning Boaby,

by burlingtonboaby Tue Aug 08, 2023 6:21 am

Morning Dave, had a great walk with Tag out along the promanard towards the harbour, beautiful sunrise, cooler but fresh, if it stays dry, will have a shot at the hedges today, the extra rain has made them shoot up.
Have a nice day,take care at work or on tour.

by Askit Tue Aug 08, 2023 8:04 am

No chance of me working hard, those days are long gone biggrin

. Up to 12°c now and rising to 18°c later with no rain on the forecast for a change. It was predicted for yesterday but we never got a drop. Out for a coffee this morning although, with the kids being on holiday, the coffee shop is more like school playtime shrugg

Take it easy.

by Dave 418 Tue Aug 08, 2023 8:34 am

Nice bright start to the day. Muttly was lying full length in the sitting room in sun snoring when I went down to do breakfast.
Nothing planned for today including workshop time. I need to order more metal to finish my last tool holders and I need to look for a folding trolley for the van. My aged joints are protesting to me carrying water containers and cassettes across sites.

by Askit Tue Aug 08, 2023 2:34 pm

The BBC said we won't get rain, Google weather said we won't get rain, the Met office said we won't get rain. So what did we get rainyday

by Dave 418 Tue Aug 08, 2023 5:13 pm

It’s was quite warm by lunch time so we were able to prove the air con in the Fiesta works now. By the time we looked for a trolley it was warm enough to take my jacket off.
We couldn’t find a trolley locally that would have survived being dragged across a site with a full cassette or a water container on it. They were all flimsy things with tiny plastic wheels.
Once we got home I found one on Amazon so I tried to order it but not having Amazon Prime it wasnt possible shrugg

I found one on E Bay that is the same make and ten pounds cheaper delivered by Saturday, also with a free bungee strap.
