simmo Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I took the kids over the local park today and there was a big family of Spanish people there, if you closed your eyes you could almost be laying on the beach on the costa del sol.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjez Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 20 degrees today, and my silly wife is quite badly sunburnt. 20 degrees in the UK is very different to 20 degrees in Oz You mean they haven't started already? I've already seen predictions of a drought. If you don't get a serious number of days over 20 degrees let's face it, it's going to be another crap summer. 20 degrees is not even warm. It's OK if you're sat inside and looking out a window. I've been watching the EPL on TV and thought the weather looks good, then the camera pans over to the crowd or managers in the dugout and they are still sat there in big coats, scarves, hats.

pablo Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 could you do it for 4 months in 30 plus ? Probably not,i like "warm",but the sun kills me if im honest,mates in Perth reckon you get used to it/acclimatise,i dont know? Im not a massive sun lover tho,if anyone gave me the choice of weather i'd go for a frosty clear day,no rain tho,rain=rain offs=no £ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't get a 7 day forecast for Stratford-On-Avon, PB, but seeing that it's only a short distance from Brum, I used that instead...Cold, windy and very humid.:wink: http://www.theweatheroutlook.com/forecast/7day/birmingham Cheers, Bobj.
