With the rain came a lot of cold air. I went to let my kitties out this morning and I was greeted with a cold blast of air. AccuWeather shows it's 62. It's the beginning of August.

in s west irreland storm floris has been a bit of a nothing burger altho I did hear of some power outtages in the north west !
sunny and fresh here today -a hint of autumn in the air !
We had a small electrical storm last night, flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, and temps have been moderate. However, for the rest of this week we've got a mini heatwave, much hotter today for sure. This is not my ideal weather, but at least we're not getting rain, which I find so depressing mostly. I've drawn the curtains and opened the windows in my study, so I can deal with the heat as best as I can!
The heatwave hasn't been too bad. We've had regular winds and breezes coming in from the Irish sea, so temps have been hot but tempered. Living within 7 miles of the coast has its benefits. We're really not getting much rain however, most days in a week are totally dry. No hosepipe ban implemented as of now. Sleeping is tricky, I sweat in bed till 6am, and get no rest. Then I usually fall asleep at 6.30am till 12pm. I feel tired upon waking, and need a very strong black coffee to get me going. I'm looking forward to autumn already!
There are 2 periods in the calendar year where I become vulnerable to catching colds, springtime and autumn. Just like clockwork, in the last few days the temps have dropped 7-8C, and the air has become fresher. And I've gone down with a stonking head cold, sneezing myself silly today! I can barely feel my nose, it's gone numb with all the sneezing. But the temperature change has been welcoming, it was getting hard to sleep with the heatwave. Now I just have to recover from this damn cold....
