Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
I have downloaded the data from the weather station, so here is a graph showing outdoor temperatures since the 21st June. As you can see, at the beginning of July temperatures reached 30C and we were having daily highs of over 30C during the whole of the second half of July and also at the beginning of August. On 24th July we recorded 33C at 1:05pm. The air pressure has been over 1000 Hpa during the whole period except for first thing this morning but, as I write, it is back to 1000.1Hpa and the forecast today is dry, warm and sunny. It rained off and on all night so I think it will be very humid and I'm off to look for chanterelles! According to the records we have had about 50mm of rain since Midsummer which is about the same as last year (also very dry) but I am not sure how accurate the rain data is. I'm pretty sure more than that has fallen in the last 12 hours!
