A HotHotHot Day! Finally!! High today, 25+...the perfect day to kick off ya shoes and go...


:cool:
 

While planning for D-Day, Allied military commanders decided that a late full moon, a high tide, a quiet day, moderate winds and no more than a light cloud covering would be required to optimise their chances for success. Three groups – the Royal Navy, the UK Meteorological Office and the US Air Force – were tasked with finding the ideal day for the operation. In this video adaptation of a piece published in the London Review of Books in 1994, Lawrence Hogben, a New Zealand-born meteorologist and Royal Navy officer, gives the inside story on how this team landed on 6 June 1944 and, in doing so, barely averted disaster. A riveting slice of world history...and an interesting slideshow of maps and photographs to illustrate how the fate of 250,000 troops hung in the balance.

Yesterday, working outside, I had to keep my tools in the shade else they were too hot to handle. Today it's gonna chuck it down, with about 5mm of rain forecast.
 
Still warm indoors - 24 degrees, humid outside, muggy cloud spitting rain to little affect. Later on the Summer will give it one last go, so...


...enjoy this little gem from long ago.
 
Hot n' sticky this morn and cloudy. Hopefully the night sky will be clear this week as the annual Perseid meteor showers are predicted to peak overnight. Best display i ever saw was on a camping trip in Cornwall, where the sky was clear around Trelawney, during the year of The Joshua Tree.

Thanks for that.
I was trying to remember someone's name.
It's Trelawney.
She's from Sri Lanka. Don't ask me how she got her name, I have no idea.

Best Perseid display I ever saw, I was driving overnight down to Mainz, I got as far as the Midlands, UK, around 3am, and I was seeing absolutely brilliant colours lighting the night sky.
 
I've looked at a few websites about it, but haven't found one that tells me which direction I should be looking.

I'd need to go to a position where that part of the sky is not lit by a town or road.
 
Is it North East?

Not a good direction for me.
 
As far as I kno and in my own experience , as long as you can see a good chunk of sky, it'll be reet.

The direction from which they appear to radiate is called..... the radiant.
 
A bunch of folk went up Kinder Scout last night but I got up before 4a.m and walked to the high ridgeway nearby for a glimpse of a couple racing across the sky from east-to-west but there was plenty of cloud about to spoil a really good show. Don't be fooled by satellites. Pretty sure i saw Mars shining up there, too.
