Absolutely blistering sunshine and clear blue sky until about lunch, then the clouds rolled in and it cooled off and started raining again.

 

Seen a few things saying they're cloud seeding, whilst that might sound tin foil hat.

 

How else to explain the almost insert and repeat weather recently.

 

Seriously? Cloud Seeding in the UK?! Or you mean the butterfly effect of cloud seeding elsewhere in the world is behind our changing weather?

 

I think throw away the tin foil hat and have yourself a good dose of Occam's Razor instead.

Thunder, lighting  and heavy rain.

Much cooler and sleep friendly.

Amazing weather here today for the equinox. 24c and sunny, barely a breath of wind.

 

We went kayaking at a lake near the village this afternoon. Had the place to ourselves.

 

Autumn starts to make itself felt by the end of next week though, by the looks of the forecast.

The number of businesses that have decided to cut their losses if we have another winter like it is piling up. I know of many. No spring to speak of, summer was always teetering on the edge and now this. Awful. Devon seems the be the epicentre of this crap.

I’m just thankful that @Big J didn’t have to witness it.

Pissed down nearly for 24hrs here now with a slight let up between 4pm and 6pm this eve, been a lot of localised flooding and now the local village of St Michaels where Nicola Bully went missing is on a red alert for flooding with river levels rising and high tide due at 11,55pm with a hieght of 10,09 mtrs which is a big tide 😒

It’s been proper foggy the last couple of days, it’s absolutely pouring down the road i usually use is unpasssable unless in a truck. Some fool in a car went for it earlier, they failed miserably.

I keep a close eye on the weather there through my friend's website/weather station. He's a deputy chief forecaster at the MetOffice, so the data is detailed.

It wasn't far into September before I concluded that I was incredibly grateful that I no longer to have to work in forestry in Devon this winter. When the rain hits that early, you're basically screwed for the next 6 months. 

 

We have had a lot of rain here in the last week (about 70mm), which is quite unusual. The soil is sandy though, so it disappears almost immediately. I was out for a 101km gravel cycle ride yesterday (almost entirely on gravel and dirt roads) and the bike is hardly mucky.

 

A friend at work watches a lot of English football and he often remarks that it never seems to stop raining. The climate in the west of the UK is certainly not extreme like many parts of the world, but it is probably one of the most miserable in Europe. 

 

For context, in September here was 2.5c warmer than Cullompton (in Devon), had 35% of the rainfall and was 3 times sunnier.

 

Photo is from a bike ride 10 days ago locally. We've had days with heavy rain, but the sunny days in between have outnumbered them and have been glorious.
