Anybody else a bit peed off with the british summer?!<br /><br />I am dying to get my 'scope outside, but there's been nothing but clouds and rain for weeks!<br /><br />It's so depressing.

I don't live in Britain but I do understand how you feel I have been having a difficult time getting out to see anything aswell and it is depressing... <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="2" color="#0000ff"><em>William ( deapfreeze ) Hooper</em></font></p><p><font size="1">http://deapfreeze-amateur-astronomy.tk/</font></p><p> </p> </div>

I hope you don't mind, I looked up your profile, to see, where you are from.<br /><br />I am from Ashford, Kent, usually in one of the sunniest & driest parts of the UK.<br /><br />Here too it has been pretty naff.<br /><br />I have been hoping to see some noctilucent clouds, but seen naff all, so far.<br /><br />This generally has been a very poor Summer. But we still have most of it left<br />though, July & August. August usually is the warmest month here, so we still<br />have time. <br /><br />Long range forecast suggests that from about the 20th of July, hotter clearer weather will<br />becoming in as the Azores High is expecting to move north.<br /><br />We'll see.<br /><br />So do not fret. <br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

My telescope has just been sitting in the corner gathering dust!<br /><br />I live in Wiltshire, UK. It has been the worst run of weather i can remember for this time of year. Sometimes you get those clear spells after heavy rain, which provide great seeing conditions. But, i have not even seen one of those.<br /><br />I am off to Europe for a few weeks shortly, weather looks good there, so i am hoping to get a good view of the Perseid meteor Shower. Fingers crossed that Andrew is correct, and everybody back home and elsewhere can see it too.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em>"Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy!

What summer? <img src="/images/icons/crazy.gif" /><br /><br />To be honest though, I'd prefer to have it like this than the unbearable heat we had a couple of years ago. (Not withstanding the floods of course - that is well OTT.) I do like sunshine, but not when it's 100 deg F with no rain for weeks on end ... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <h1 style="margin:0pt;font-size:12px">----------------------------------------------------- </h1><p><font color="#800000"><em>Lady Nancy Astor: "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea."<br />Churchill: "Nancy, if you were my wife, I'd drink it."</em></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Website / forums </strong></font></p> </div>

Agreed the heat is not fun, But it is nice when you can sit outside look up and say well thats nice and relax. It looks like rain again here in Chatham Ontario. I hope it clears because I am going crazy. I want atleast 1 good night before my vaccaton is over. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="2" color="#0000ff"><em>William ( deapfreeze ) Hooper</em></font></p><p><font size="1">http://deapfreeze-amateur-astronomy.tk/</font></p><p> </p> </div>

Re: Anthmartian's comment:<br /><br />Ditto... Decided to buy myself a telescope at long last. Just my luck I choose the wettest summer in recorded history! unfortunately it seems mines a cheapy and only good for looking at the moon. Been thinking of building myself a dobsonian but half tempted too wait and see if this sodin' weather changes first. No point magnifying rain clouds!<br /><br />Tone
