In Headingley, same has happened today as yesterday. Nice in the morning, now we've just had a heavy fall of cats and dogs !

There was a thunderstorm last night, but today has been really nice. Sunny and warm!! It actually feels like summer!

Some very heavy rain but very nice this evening.

We had a storm this afternoon when I was going for lunch (at 2:15!!!!) and by, did I get wet!

Ooo, you're in Hungary, valagai??? Which part?

Forum members Hammerklavier and JudithJ are both there for three weeks and they tell me how VERY hot it is at the moment...I'm envious of them being there but I must say I'm not envious of the 40 degrees...

Lovely morning on the Wirral, but Im leaving for Carnoustie a bit later. Whats it like up there ?

bright at the mo, and breezy, but some big clouds in the sky

Exactly the same here.

When can we finally have a prolonged spell of summery weather?...

when next term is just starting ???

Budapest we might get some bearable weather next week
I see in you sig that you're a Kodaly specialist, did you study here, or you just like the country?

Got caught in a couple of spots of rain while I was out , but apart from that, it's been nice and sunny

That's good to hear

Today has been warn and very summery between the storms. I even managed to take Eddie out for a ride without getting wet this morning.

Lovely

Was lovely day in Herefordshire until early evening then it threw it down with rain just for a change

Thunder in the near distance. Will have to turn the computer off.

It's been quite warm here today!

I've studied on three Summer Seminars in Kecskemét as well as one short study tour there (lovely place ) and have a British/Polish friend who lived there for seven years (taught at the Kodály school there) and still has a house in the town.

Forum member Hammerklavier has just spent the last year studying at the Kodály Institute and absolutely loved it. He then went to a piano course near Lake Balaton and now has gone back to Kecskemét for this year's Summer Seminar.

So yes, I've done a bit of study there (although most of my study has been in the UK) and yes, I love the country too!!

The 'summer' continues with a very wet, miserable morning that wouldn't look too out of place in autumn...

It's pouring, really hard, unbelievable. I went out to check all the inlets to the water butts were ok and got soaked.

Very cloudy here. Although it must have rained in the night as the ground is wet..... We got a severe weather warning here, so not sure when its going to come?

By "late morning" apparently...

Absolutely teeming down, and as dark as pitch.

Still slightly sunny here - but there are some very evil clouds around... I think they're waiting until I have to go out...

Nice! I am looking forward to it!! NOT!

Went to Open Golf at Carnoustie yesterday. It threw it down all the way from our Fife hotel up there at 7.30 am, but was then fine for most of the day, but ridiculously cold (About 13 deg ) and windy. It then threw it down for most of my journey back to Wirral.
Its still pretty wet now on the Wirral. Have to drive to Suffolk this afternoon for the weekend, what's it like there ?
Then off to France and Switzerland for two weeks. Will be away from forums until August 6th.

'And now for the weather...

... in Suffolk it will be dull, grey, cold, depressing, blah, blah, blah,

or - in summary ####!

and now over to the sports desk...'

We have it!! it has arrived...

###### indeed Phil!!

Indeed it has!

Sounds as though the thunder has arrived here...

Heavy rain! Joy!

Wet again!

Rain rain rain rain A local main road's been flooded

Torrential rain.

Our building is leaking in several places because the rain is so heavy lol!

Just heard a big bang of thunder, with a couple of alarms going off nearby about 15 minutes ago... hopefully that was nothing too serious...

EDIT - 12:58 - The sun's come out...

Car Expert

Now bright and sunny here too. But we've had gallons of rain this morning.

Very heavy rain since early this morning, was woken by thunder and lightening

Very grey and cold And the wind keeps changing direction (grrr I've just been playing golf )

Our front office ceiling has just caved in with all the rain we've had on the flat roof above! Luckily no one is hurt and there's not too much damage! We are preparing for more rain over the weekend....

It was lovely and sunny here yesterday, but now it's cloudy and cold

Humid and sunny now

Still raining here. Actually I just wanted to get that dreadful HP thread off the top!

rained all morning and now am suffering the consequences!!!
hopefully summer will start soon!

Miserable

Sunny

Dull and chilly with rain forecast for tomorrow.
But you can't always believe the weather forecast...

Herefordshire is under water - we went to the local leisure centre and the road turned into a river - we could not get home. The manager of the centre took us to our daughter's in his 4x4 - she lent us her car to come home on the high road and now I've lit our fire it's so cold.
So sorry for those who can't keep the water out of their homes.

We had incredible amounts of rain until mid afternoon. The small river near us has burst its banks, several homes are flooded, people are taking their possessions upstairs. They've been told other people are worse off, no pumps are available, so its self-help and community spirit to the rescue.

We're having some garden landscaping done. This morning it rained so hard that loads of mud seeped off the bank and into our lovely clear pond which has had the same fish in it for 8 years. I am a bit sad because I can't see them under the now very cloudy, murky water and I don't know if they are still alive.

Obviously a very minor mishap compared to those poor people on the news with ruined homes. Awful. There was a lady yesterday with a grand piano surrounded by water
