Look for the section UK Outlook for Saturday 8 Sep 2018 to Saturday 22 Sep 2018:

Daytime temperatures are expected to be above average overall, especially across the south and east where it may become very warm for a time, and with the warmer conditions perhaps spreading further north and west at times.

Me too, I would settle for bright and dry. I got used to the lovely weather did make me feel happy I think I am solar powered :-D

It certainly does feel that way today!
Cold, very strong winds, torrential rain and some lightning

But we have had good Septembers for at least the last two years

It is ok folks when we are out of the country there is usually a heatwave.

Chips in 10p, a button and hairgrip. :-D

Nahhhh we got loads a sunny days to come trust me ...!! :-D :-D ;-)

I trust you all that says it will be sunny :-D


Ann where you off too ?

A lovely warm day in the south east.....perhaps it's because we are nearer the equator?

I went to a food festival in a local town and wore a light cardigan on top of a short sleeve T shirt. It was too hot so I ended up carrying the cardigan.

October is often really pleasant, so lots more hope ahead yet.Enjoy each day for what it is and make the best of them.

We were surprised how warm it is in Kent, Gwyn.
We had a lovely week there in September last year and the year before.

We loved it. The year before was really hot and we sat under my cousins willow tree in Dymchurch with a glass of wine! :-D

Guess who's going camping next week :-(

Funny enough, I was only saying to Itsmytelly as a friend of ours has gone to Isle of Wight Scooter festival I would love to go he said

"what you camping?" to which I replied " I have been camping before" he said " No Hayley that was caravaning and the Caravan was an static 8 birth :-D

Crikey - that size caravan is bigger than any I grew up in - and I wasn't on holiday - it was my 'permanent' home! :-S

We are off to Egypt in a couple of weeks on a family holiday

Daughter has a special birthday whilst we are there

Was hoping that I would still be acclimatised to the very hot weather so it wouldn't be too much of a shock to my old system but looks like will,have to start over again !!

Realy looking forward to it as this time we plan to visit luxor ,the valley of the Kings for a days tour as well as a day out snorkelling in the choral reefs ( not me I will stay on the boat) as well as swimming with the dolphins

;-)

Did you ever make it last time? From memory, a holiday had been booked then Egypt was declared off limits by the Home Office, unless absolutely necessary, after a plane was blown up.

Yes we did make it .we went to Hurghada instead

Son in law had big problems getting his money back from the tour operator who was still booking for Sharm even though no flights were going there.but after lodging a complaint with his credit card provider and threatening them with trading standards he got nearly all of it back
He had paid in excess of £3500 but they tried to wriggle out of giving it back and made several attempts to charge for some of the holiday expenses . I.e. Will give back air fair but you have to pay for the hotel as you are cancelling
Nope. We are still willing to go how will you get us there??
Big arguments back and forth but eventually he won most of it back Should have been all of it but he settled for a small loss

The hotel we went too was jazz Aquaviva makadi and we absolutely loved it ,so much so we are going back there again

Daughter and SIL never do the same place twice but she said I would like to come here again for my 60th in 2018 so thats were we are off too again
