CZ550Kevlar Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 The first day of summer was only yesterday?? some people are so defeatist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 The longest day was yesterday, that is probably supposed to be mid summer. Summer officially starts on the 1st May, so you are about 7 weeks out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Summer officially starts on the 1st May. According to whom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 "In Britain, people traditionally say that the seasons begin about seven weeks earlier: spring begins on Candlemas (February 2), summer on May Day (May 1), autumn on Lammas (August 1), and winter on All Hallows (November 1). The Irish calendar is similar, but Spring begins on February 1" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hmmm, the world according to Wikipedia. Deeply dubious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I think Jim might be referring to the biblical style monsoon we got couple hours ago.I was driving home and my wipers couldnt keep up with the amount of rain comming down and at one point the traffic on the A14 almost came to a standstill because visiblity was about 10%.Strangely though-its hot sunshine now!

Dunkield Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hmmm, the world according to Wikipedia. Deeply dubious... So when does it begin in your world then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 here you go seems like its getting earlier as well http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1274074/Todays-day-summer-say-scientists--looked-window.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 So when does it begin in your world then? Always thought it was yesterday. I see the Met Office site they use 1st of June. So that's three different dates. So, a quick Google (yeah I know!) for "official first day of summer UK" throws up more hits to support 21st June than anything else, but I am now somewhat unsure!

Dunkield Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well as Jim has pointed out it isn't exactly a vintage year, I guess it's more a state of mind than anything else, but to me the longest day is the halfway point of the yesr so well into summer. We have had some our best weather in September in recent years, so who knows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushpower Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 The days begin to shorten as from today,the longest day was yesterday :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Summer solstace was yesterday,so daylight hours shorten from now until 21st(?)December,Winter solstace.Have no idea when the first day of Summer is,so am quite pleased to hear some reckon it's today! When I was a kid(so long ago everything was in black and white)Summers lasted for donkeys years and we built hides from rectangular bales!

Jim Sarakun Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Imperfection, that was it exactly. Hossing down when I looked out the window prior to posting, so tried to download some summer, and failed miserably. Just got back from Germany, and it was 23 degrees and hot hot hot, sun sun sun. What really disheartens me is that from here on in the days get shorter, and my sandals, Bermuda shorts and Hawaiian shirt have not yet been worn here yet. OK, I know what you are thinking, you're thinking what a style guru that man is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had it good for atleast 6 weeks Jim and we are the driest region in the UK afterall so this monsoon will be welcomed by farmers atleast.Never fear though,you can wear your neon bermuda shorts and equally bright shirt while shooting and should give the wildlife something to snigger about.

Vinny v Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I've just looked at the forecast for the next week and if the weather forecasters are right then we are looking at a baking 29 degrees c on Sunday here !! Thinking some suntan lotion for the days shoot may be necessary !!!!! V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 lots of cloud bursts here in scummy kingslynn too! only problem is i've gotta work outside in the thick of it, stuck in a hole making shuttering, by the time i realise it's raining it's too late, it takes me almost a minute to get out of the damn pit, let alone the 100 yd dash to the site hut. i truly hate my work sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
