35 here again in Norfolk. Borrowed my daughters car this afternoon to go into town. A/C on Auto. Lo showing on the temp readout and drove away waiting for the cold blast......... that didn’t come. We drove for about 2 miles, windows open, hot air blasting out of the air vents...... till I pressed the button to turn the AC compressor on........
I think we’ve been spoilt by our motor home and car, both of which have auto climate control and Lo showing on the display means “bloody cold”....
Anyway, it’s cooling down a bit outside now, thermometers telling me it’s only 27.

All set for a glass of wine and nibbles by the beach and the heavens opened.
Thanks Colin, but I was expecting a flash and the odd rumble too
I'm doing my best here, Chris.
Have you any idea how manic things have been over the past couple of days?
I'll double-check your order and see what I can do to expedite it.
In the meantime I've organised the maximum incidence of the Perseid meteor shower tonight - perhaps 100 meteorites per hour. The best time to view will be from about 2300 to 0400. Assuming you're still fishing at the 'mackerel' beach and there's a clear sky you should get a brilliant view since there's so little light pollution there.
Superlative customer service or what?
Colin

It’s dry in Dumfries and looking set for the day
I’d concur with that, and just a little cooler than yesterday so perfection really.

I saw lots of Perseid meteorites (perhaps 30 or 40?) last night until the cloud arrived at about 0030. Some just streaks across the sky, some a bright ball with a tail.
Literally brilliant.
The display will be visible with the naked eye for the next week or so, though the number per hour will gradually diminish. On the other hand, the moon will become less of a light pollutant, so it'll still be well worth looking should a clear night present itself. The meteorites appear to come from the northeast about 45° above the horizon at about 2300, gradually changing to overhead by about 0400 as the earth rotates.
The weather in Norfolk has changed dramatically. It's now cloudy with a gentle breeze and a temperature of only 20°C - which feels quite chilly after the amazing weather of the past few days.
I rather fancy flying the larger kite this afternoon.
