Summer

Summer on Sicily, 1991
A proper summer with temperatures soaring up to the low 40's. 
I was listening to the radio as I was driving home today and I got a bit depressed. They listed the amount of summer days this summer (ie days with temperatures of 20 degrees and over). 

In June: there was 1 (ONE!) summer day. The same went for July: just the one. In August, a bit of a change: 0. As in NONE! Not a single one! Fortunately I had a holiday in the Netherlands where the temperature was very summery!

Summer in Norway, 2014
A proper summer with temperatures well over 20 degrees
It is about to change though they said: from Saturday onwards, they are expecting lovely weather with summer temperatures. But, as I checked the weather forecast, the only thing different is that the rain is due to stop for a few days and the temperatures will go up to (wait for it) the high teens! Nothing summer about that...

*Sigh*

    ...which is why the Vikings were so at home on the shores of the Bonny Land... &*>... We have definitely been shot-changed on the summer lately. A nice bright - and DRY - autumn would be welcome. YAM xx

      Apparently the East end of the country (towards Oslo) has had a great summer. As did the North. But, I live in the West. On the coast. Where it is wet. And windy. You know. Blergh!

    That just doesn't seem fair. We all need to feel the sun on our backs in the Summer, if only for a few days.

      I got the few days. As in two. Although I was probably working both those days...

    Ja. Die beruchte zomer van 2014! Waarin het zo heet werd in Noorwegen dat ik er schier chagrijnig van werd. :-) Toch: prachtige herinneringen!

      Dat was een heerlijke zomer. In ieder geval stukken beter dan die van dit jaar. Ronduit verschrikkelijk. Om er chagrijnig van te worden!!

    For the first day of Fall, it is very warm here! Like summer hasn't gotten the message yet. That's fine with me!

    From about Sept 10 (roughly) we are in the midst of our longest stretch of summer weather. It's a bit ridiculous really.

    Come visit! We are still having 30 - 33 temps for highs and nighttime lows of 20 and above. Did have 4 nights that the low was about 16.

    Well some days without rain sounds like a good start. Hope the temps get a little higher too!
