Our summer

[Rum]

It has been wonderful as far as I'm concerned. Three months of warm and sometimes hot weather, next to no rain and the snow and rain of January a memory.

It ain't however normal. Here's us.

[Svartalf]

Yeah, is weird, here, we had a horrid spring full of rain and storms and hail and whatnot, while Sweden had drought and currently suffers from forest fires...

[Scot Dutchy]

We are heading to the mid thirties. Our big water reserve is the IJsselmeer plus the major rivers are still reasonably full. It is very dry but nowhere near a crisis.

[Svartalf]

same here, the Seine is not too low, except when you compare to the levels it reached late this winter.

[Scot Dutchy]

The river barges are still going which is always a good sign but they are taking slightly less cargo.

The summer in the British Columbia interior has been fairly pleasant. Mid 20s, but we are getting a lot of rain this year.

Still it beats the hell out of being evacuated and staying in a hotel for 5 weeks, wondering if your home has been burned down.

[Rum]

Pissing down today!

That's good old Blighty for you.

[Svartalf]

pretty dry for about a month, I hear all of France has not been so lucky.

[Scot Dutchy]

Rum a cold front passed your way but will not go any further south.

[Scot Dutchy]

Just been to the shops. 31C "It is too damn hot."

The supermarket was lovely and cool.

[Svartalf]

Yeah, I know, I'm sweating a tubfull

[Scot Dutchy]

I am not looking forward to Thursday. We will be in almost unknown area of upper 30's.
I know plenty of places have that but our cities and houses are just not built for it.

We need one of these: a mas Provençal

That's gorgeous. Couldn't live there, I'd just sit in the garden and drink wine all day. And eat snails. God, I love snails.

The world is burning!
