Before the rain this morning, a hint of Asperatus maybe....(over Gainsborough Lincs.).



Travelled to Anderby Creek Cloud Bar to meet up with Gavin he was recording a programme for BBC TV. Ironic while travelling listening to the Radio Lincolnshire news, it said that Lincolnshire is declared an official drought area, at the time I had windscreen wipers on double speed, had difficulty driving for the rain and the roads looked like rivers...:+)....

The cloud bar lived up to its name....











Filming.......







Propping up the bar....Gavin left, the delightful journalist, presenter and weather forecaster, Carol Carol Kirkwood centre, yours truly right.

Many thanks for those pics, Ian - its good to belong to such a society. And three cheers for monochrome. There is a law about that rain.

To close out the tale of Hants, UK, micro heatwave, Radio Solent reported we peaked at 28C (about 82F), and desert plants are flowering, not something they usually do round here. Could be related to the driest Spring for a century. Hants has so far not got the drought status of Lincs and Cambs.

Excellent. All I've heard on the news from the UK is about the drought as well, so lucky that on the day of filming there was such a sky treat. Thanks for letting us know about the day and see the results.

Excellent Ian! Thanks for all the pics!
