Just realized that we are missing out on exchanging weather info, so thought I would start a thread.....(if I need an excuse, I am English, and can about the weather all day long!)

Anyways, it´s been lovely and warm and sunny all week long here near to Lake Starnberg, but now we are having quite a thunder storm, and it is raining constantly, but kind of "gently", if you see what I mean?
It´s exactly what we need, and I hope the rain continues all night long - without the thunder!!!

Much too dry here. I am tempted to go camping at the North Sea early June, so can pretty much guarantee a week of solid rain for Schleswig Holstein.

Booked Greece for mid June after zillion years, and of course it will be raining overthere just before we get there

Yesterday, it was like autumn in Munich. Put on my wintercoat. Brrr.

Oh yes! It was so cold in the evening that we lit the oven and got the living room lovely and warm and cosy!

It's cold and wet here, but I'm quite enjoying it, for now!

We've been considering lighting ours - so far we've just gone for blankets and stealing the cat from each other as a warmer

I think we might crack today because it's really quite cold and only midday...

Rain all day. That's rather depressing after all the nice weather we had in the last days.

We are finally having rain on and off here way down yonder, but what we really need is at least a few days of downpour. The water levels in the Rhein and the Bodensee are abysmal and the shoreline everywhere has receded like crazy. This has made life especially complicated for the waterfowl. It's amazing how much the temps fluctuate within a day, even an hour. Gotta always dress in layers. We are all just acclimated to this and still love our life down here.

Ditto, The river Isar in Munich, looks so low. It should be full at this time of the year with all the melting snow and normal rainfall.

But due to climate change ( I guess ), we had a winter with 50 % less precipitation followed by very little rain in spring and starting summer. Looking at the weather forecast next Saturday starts at 30 deg, with no rain in sight, its going to be another hard year for the trees.

I suppose if this keeps up the ground water supplies will dry up as well, leading to less drinking water being available.

Of course the rains came as soon as my son and his wife arrived for a week visit.

Heavy rain shower currently over Pinneberg (West of Hamburg).

Yesterday was also a washout at the airfield, although rain was not as heavy as it is at this moment.

So, it is them who brought this shit over here?

- My boyfriend was a bit sceptical on hearing this and said "yes, 15 degrees in the morning, and 15 degrees in the afternoon" !!!

Well I head down South on the A7/A8 to Blaubeuren airfield on Thursday (=few LKWs) hopefully for some decent flying over the next couple of weeks.

I can see - in the Energy report of my home automation - that my fridge is working hard to keep my beer chilled. It is 25.5°C in the apartment.

Returned yesterday from our family vacation on Naxos (lots of sun and Cycladic breeze, no fires thankfully). It rained buckets down here in Konstanz in our absence and the desperately low water levels in the Rhein and the lake went way up! It's now 15-20 during the day, cloudy, and feels like fall. Bit of a weather shock for us. Will summer properly resume or is he gone? In any case I remain wedded to this lovely spot.

I just got back from 10 days in Slovenia. Same. Good weather to do 10 loads of laundry, though.

Well, it’s supposed to resume end of next week. So far, it is rubbish. The best summer was 2018. I call it Spanish summer in Munich.

Basically since the Summer Solstice the weather has been poor - at least for our flying activities. There were a couple of blistering hot days & several Sundays were rained-off.

Often the first half of July yields good conditions for long flights but - at least from Southern Schleswig-Holstein - thats not the case this year.
