Yup, tonight is now dark, a little after 9 pm, and the doors and windows are still wide open.
Dark here too - and the "HIGH" reading for the day on that display says....<drum roll> 90.. Pretty hard to believe, who flipped the switch?
The UK forecast is remarkably similar.
Fine for a few days and then changeable or wet again + thunderstorms for some areas.
The aurora prediction is clearly the same too.
MMB that's amazing. I didnt see anything much to write home about; there was some activity for sure. However the boy at college up north in Bellingham got some great views / pics. Hope Cal got to see.

40C - no thanks. Hottest so far this summer here in NE England was about 24C on monday which is warm enough for me.
Otherwise the wettness from October to May, gave way to cool & changeable weather from late spring right up until the start of August.
Blackberries are just about ready for picking aalong the public bridlepaths and footpaths.

Finally we had a mid season rainfall so the berries are a little larger than the last number of years, but I'm afraid, unless things change, the berries of yesteryear are a thing of the past.
(sigh)
It used to they were the size of your thumb. Lately, the size of your pinky. This year they are giving me the middle finger.
We've been averaging 27 - 28°C during the day and 15 - 17°C at night for about the last week. We're about 2km south of Boston. Sort of odd
Highest was around 34 - 36°C for a couple of weeks in July.

I really don't pay much attention to the wild berries, as I no longer eat them, but I noticed some in the local supermarket that were gigantic.

I am guessing those are domestic. Perhaps hybrids?
They remind me of the store bought strawberries these days. All water.

That would be my guess as well.
Yeah, if you want decent strawberries, you have to buy local.

it's not only temperature, it's the combination of temperature and humidity that makes heat unbearable. We had 32° C last week here in Belgium, but with a humidity of 92% (because of the extensive rains last months) and that is much harder than the 45*C I had to stand in the Sahara in Algeria a few month's ago where the air was very dry. When the air is dry, the sweat can cool you easier, so you are less affected by the heat.
62f (17C) this morning with a high today of 81f (27C). Temp is supposed to be down to 46f (7C) by Saturday night. We typically get a break in the heat the first or second week in September. Of course it will warm back up into the 80s (27C+) again next week, but the see-saw is here. Fall is right on time.
Here in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná State, are some see-saw for this moment, but for next week, the strong hot dry climate that is dominating most Brazilian States will breaks and consolidates here. Here in South region, El Niño provided humidity and rain times***, but it dried almost the rest of the Brazil (the La Niña provokes the reverse effect). Some places at states at center of Brazil (Brasília city and near locations) had 7% of humidity last day, lower than minimum registred in the Sahara desert for same day... a lot of fire are ocurring, and firefighters are overtaxed with so much cases... some are classificating this being the worst climate drought in history.
***but also provided the biggest flood that the Rio Grande do Sul State (the State where I was born) seen in it's entire history.... the capital of this State, Porto Alegre, and all regions nearby, had colossal losses. So much that it appeared in several international press.
Is not the same climate I used to see when I was kid...
