tweed rose yesterday John, as it will surely do tomorrow with as much rain in the west, I just hope we get a splash for Whiteadder and Till. The Press has been talking of a ,"barbecue summer", a sure invitation for it to #### down.

It looks like most rivers have or are about to benefit from from this recent skelp. Just heard talk on the wireless of "snow on higher ground".

Seems appropriate to start a thread as the N Wales rivers have generally been at summer level since the start of the season, and the Tweed & Tyne seem to be suffering the same. Forecast for the next 2 weeks doesn't look too promising either........................where's the trout rod. deja vu?

Red hot weather is forecast for the weekend, with no rain on the horizon until early June. If this continues, I'll be buying a beachcaster.

Some heavy thunderstorms up this way today, there may be some localised lifts in water. I see the Gairn has risen on the Dee, I believe there was a bit of flooding in Aboyne as well.

Long range BBC forecast looks promising - for a wet Wimbledon!
Monday 7 June 2010 to Sunday 13 June 2010 Warmth gives way to wet
High pressure may hang on just long enough to bring a hot and sunny start to the period. But change is on the way.
At least the farmers and gardeners will be pleased, because as low pressure edges in from the west, the rain clouds will gather from the west.
The breakdown to unsettled, wetter conditions looks like being slow and sporadic, but eventually we will all have seen some rain. Temperatures wil ease back down to somewhere near the norm for this time of year. Good growing weather...
Monday 14 June 2010 to Sunday 27 June 2010 Low pressure greets high summer
The sun is now at its strongest, heating things up quickly given half a chance. But low pressure, taking up residence near our shores, will help suck the warm air up to form big clouds and heavy downpours.
This combination of heat and water causes the atmosphere to become increasingly highly charged with energy; and thunder and lightning are nature's way of releasing that energy.
Expect interruptions to the first week of Wimbledon!

long range BBC forecast -still looking dry for the next month onday 21 June 2010 to Sunday 27 June 2010 The smell of summer We start the week with the Summer Solstice and fittingly, day by day, the sun will lift temperatures incrementally. In England and Wales, this will be under mostly cloud-free skies. In Scotland and Northern Ireland more cloud is likely with a few showers, especially on Wednesday. The weekend could bring us 29 degrees C. Monday 28 June 2010 to Sunday 4 July 2010 A hot start still with a southern bias A hot start to the week will continue in England, Wales and often Scotland and Northern Ireland. Atlantic fronts are still likely to attempt entry into the northwest of the UK but will lose most of their rain before they reach land. Nevertheless sometimes cloudy and breezy weather will affect the northwest. Monday 5 July 2010 to Sunday 18 July 2010 Even more of the same... Except that this time the Atlantic fronts are held even further at bay: Scotland and Northern Ireland should enjoy more of the sunny and warmer weather. Some showers are still possible which may be thundery. Temperatures, of course, look likely to remain above normal.

We had rain yesterday! Just enough to keep the dust away for a couple of days. Metcheck...........as a farmer accurate forecasts are quite important to me. I have stopped using Metcheck.
