After the hail the other day I looked out at my gazebo to check if it was still standing and it looked fine but with what I thought were leaves on the top. Yesterday I went for a closer look and found that it had been shot through with a machine gun. I will need to have a close inspection of my tiled roof

Our hail was not all that large but it was fast-moving - like little bullets. It destroyed our smaller plastic solar lights.

Not quite as warm as forecast today 😕

More cloudy today than yesterday when I took this photo.

Cooler but very pleasant for September.

Upper 20s temps have returned this week.

Cloudy and drizzly today but looks better from tomorrow.

Today's warm sunshine has brought out some butterflies. Old red admirals and small coppers. Both in pairs and quite unexpected.

It rained all night and down to single-figure temperature this morning - no gardening today.

 

[baldlygo]

Some sunshine earlier but grey now and 11.5c - the leaves are providing colour. All these pictures were taken earlier this morning.

Still below zero in Haute Vienne. Grey sky and no frost despite being -3 early this morning.

Minus 5 last night so these grues are leaving it rather late.

 

[baldlygo]

Certainly chilly here in St-Auvent (87) last night -8.9c - the lowest so far

No words required

It´s snowing very fine stuff, managing to make the field white, doesn´t see to bother the animals..

Sounds very similar to the conditions here. Hovered around zero all night. Will have to wait several days to see the sun

Sun came out yesterday after 2 weeks of dull and damp weather with temperatures rarely above 2℃. With a clearer sky, it went down to -6.3℃ last night. Not very good when we live 2/3rd of the way down France.

 

[baldlygo]

Our forecast has been wrong for 2 days. Although it started at -1.3℃ it is now 11℃ and mostly blue sky and I've just seen a butterfly.

 

[baldlygo]

No sunshine today and 11.5℃ out but 22.3℃ inside - so best stay inside today.

No shorts for me this week
