How's your summer?

[jukel123 6,623]

Our summer in SW Scotland has been dire. A sunny June and now 6 weeks of wind and rain. Leaves are falling from trees already. It feels like Autumn. We even had a mist on Wednesday. I had a single swallow's nest in an out building. Five eggs, five chicks, but only three made it. I believe they died because of a lack of insects because of the wintery weather. Usually they have a second or even a third  brood, but they haven't attempted to go down on eggs again.

Peed off. Its blowing a gale at the minute.

I love winter, all the seasons really, but at the right time in the right order. Lol

Not been to good here. Blackberries are already out, leaves have been falling off the trees for weeks now. There are only a fraction of the swallows we usually see. We are plagued with green grasshoppers at the minute though and the wasps are entering there mad weeks a lot earlier than usual. Is this the future of our summers to come?. The jet Stream appears to be stuck way down south bringing in cold wet weather from the Atlantic.

I've used my waterproofs more in the last 2 months than I did all last winter, sort of puts it in perspective.

I think I'll stick to Scottish weather Wolfdog. Too hot for anybody that temperature.

Am not a fan of massively hot weather, so mine's been not to bad

It’s been another hot and humid one here in Barcelona. Not as bad as last year but not much better. I’d guess a daily avg around 33/34C, 85% humidity. Still going too, won’t cool down until backend Sept early Oct. In Madrid and the surrounding regions it was hitting 40C+ the other week.
