... no rain Wednesday and Thursday please Ian - those are my Bodnant days!

OK for rain during darkness though, ideal for the plants.

No rain in the forecast at all, yet.

I know weather forecasts are unpredictable but being a forecaster must be the only job where you can be wrong so often yet stay in work ... possibly even beats the PM in that respect!

BBC forecast has 50% chance of rain all through Wednesday morning - at least it's not snowing - imagine having to shovel that up in this heat!

Nemesis, prayer did not work, we had the windows open on the cool side of the house, someone has started a very smokey BBQ hopefully it will settle down soon.  :(

I can never understand why, when we get hot sunny weather, people want to.have barbecues  ... who in their right mind wants to stand by a very hot grill frying their sausages? !!

Same here, knew by the smell that it wasn't a bonfire, but it soon blew away.

We used to have a person living near us who had regular bonfires and she'd burn anything, cardboard, plastic, wood and food wrappings of which there was plenty of.    She wasn't known as Fat L for no reason.
These bonfires were massive smelly ones and would affect a large part of the road but no one complained
Anyway her next door neighbour had a bonfire for the first time and Fat L had the cheek to complain about it when we had to endure her bonfires on a weekly basis
Those thoughtless people can't take it when the same thing happens to them

Know what you mean! My OH who has trouble walking was told in no uncertain terms that if he had a complaint he must walk all he way round to the next street and knock at the front door if he wanted to complain. ! Urggg! I was fuming. :-\

I?m hoping we are going to be smoke free this evening. Surely no one will want to be burning rubbish or burgers in this heat!

The weather at the moment is energy sapping, yesterday it was hot but not as hot as today yet the temperature gauge on my friend's car yesterday said 38C

Showing 32?C on both my phone and computer here in Llandudno Junction, but the sun is hiding behind some cloud.  That's not quite 90?F but close!

Please share that cloud DVT! At least we?ve been able to stay in the shade at home today. It was just a bit uncomfortable at the ODI at Old Trafford yesterday, although there was some cloud cover and plenty of drinking water points. If any sea breezes pick up, please waft them over towards Flintshire!

Hawarden was the hottest today with 98.9 F (37.1), a little too close for comfort. Another hot one tomorrow, before it then falls off quite swiftly.

Hot day today. They said it'd be 40 degrees in the shade. Good job I stayed out in the open.
