Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I heard forecasts recently saying that this week will feel 'autumnal'
I only wish June and the first half of August were as warm and pleasant as today!
19.5c and good sunny spells and obviously feeling a LOT warmer in the sun.
23mm since the dry spell ended on Sat.0 -

Certainly doesn't feel 'autumnal' here. Humidty well into the 90s for over 24hrs now, high Td's and low hanging drizzle clouds with zero drying. Hard to believe we had summer like deep blues only a few days ago!New Moon

With solar radiation rapidly diminishing now, so too do evaporation rates. We're moving into that time of the year when one good deluge of rain can take days to recede. In about a months time, we'll have reached the stage where the ground just doesn't dry out completely unless we get an exceptionally long dry spell.ground is finally starting to dry out a bit now, however I don't think this dryness is going to last very long! A mild, cloudy day here so far.

This. And add those remaining ghastly orange streetlights shining on it during the longer dark hours would drive one to a dark room with a bottle of whisky...0 -

Now that is some shot! Beautiful!A lot of my town has these white LEDs now. Gives a colder, darker look to the streets to be honest.
Are they there long? Some of the newer ones are really bright, especially if they are up of a height. I see some of the orange ones being replaced and the LEDs are placed at the same height - this I think gives it a sharper dark/bright contrast. The brilliant white is a little cold though - perhaps they'll come up with a slightly warmer tone. Although it'd be savage if they switched from cool white to warm white depending on the season!
Oh, I look forward to seeing the snowfall at night under LED!0 -

They have been rolling out around town for a while now, but only recently have come into my housing estate. I don't find them bright at all to be honest and the shadows they create are darker. Another disadvantage is that I could often see showers coming at night before they arrived here because of the orange reflection bouncing off the clouds from the other side of town. With the increasing amount of white lights, oncoming showers do not seem to be as visible from a distance.New Moon

I get what you are saying, my bet is that the LEDs are much stronger (therefore designed to spread their light further) but are put at exactly at the same height as the Orange Sodium lights they replace. Therefore it gives a strong downward beam, increasing the contrast between lit and unlit. The upward light is greatly reduced/eliminated, this was driven by star gazers and professionals in the space exploration sectors who campaigned against night light pollution.
Thankfully the LEDs came after rain radar!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch - it's 13c and no further measurable rain since last posting.0 -

Woken by loud drumming deluge echoing on the roof... Wind rising; moving into the equinoctial gale season. Black as the proverbial pitch out there, and the cats came flowing in like a surge tide when I opened the door. Nothing as fast as a cat when heavy rain and strong wind are around Distinctly chilly too,, west mayo offshore . 0
