Did someone mention something about an Indian Summer? Who first coined that phrase, anyone know? Irrelevant really... in this context at least.... cos the sun has shone and it ain't half hot and sweaty mum...

Pro Yes, I always assumed it was to do with the Americans... never quite understood why though.
MissyMouse asked the very same last week where the term was 'coined'! Its been lovely weather here for the last week or so..Hope it lasts

Pro It'd be nice to get another week or twos sunshine wouldn't it? Fingers crossed. 
It would..Today is ok..Dry and warm but not as nice as previous days..But its dry! x
Usksider
Pro The sun did eventually break through here, but like today the skies were grey and miserable yesterday morning.

We have had wonderful downpours of sweet rain filled with nitrogen all week. After a long, hot summer of drought.
I heard the garden singing it's thanks last Thursday, Everything is green again.
However, sun came out again today and, glancing at the gauge I saw 100F again.
Oh, misery me!
Have been cooped-up all summer to stay out of the heat.
Our hottest days went up to 111F here, near Houston.
Global warming?
Our pool, one week in July, went up to 95F and I started thinking of lobsters being boiled alive. That put me off and I had to go back inside!
Try having some alcohol in the evening, with that temp.
Makes you doubly hot!
So, don't think about visiting Texas in the Summer! JW xx

Pro One of the things we're never short of here, rain... makes my blood boil when we do get a couple of weeks of good weather and suddenly there's a hosepipe ban! What the hell happens to the 10 months worth of rain? 
Always makes me smile when you see people on beach holidays... sitting in the afternoon sun and swilling booze, then wondering why the suddenly feel so peculiar!

Tar on the beach, I thought it would be more like sand. Not that hot in Scotland but not bad. Enjoy it while is lasts.
Usksider
Pro You see some bizarre things in Wales... take a look at Porthcawl for instance... 
gardengirl
Oh gosh, that is a bit 'different'!
Usksider
Pro Only in Wales hun, only in Wales...
i aint hot here Brrrr
Usksider
Pro Well you wouldn't be would you Jack
WyrdSeeker
Pro I'm sitting in my lounge with a fleece on!! Not fair!!
Usksider
Pro It did chill down a lot during the evening... but I'm sitting here at 4am with the windows open!
ravingmad
Wasn't that hot where we are - but it was quite nice anyway 
Usksider
Pro I was so hot in bed I had to get up and come downstairs again...
ravingmad
I believe a cold shower is good for that problem 
Usksider
Pro I can dream!
ravingmad
Dreaming's good!
Usksider
Pro ...but not as good as the real thing!
MissyMouse
T'was me who asked!!!
xx
Usksider
Pro I knew I'd read it somewhere!
Hope you're enjoying some sunshine too
Neonjake
It has been splendid here weather wise also. By the way...why would anyone want to tar the beach, stick to highways please.
jake
ps: we in Canada have Indian summers as it is ordained by the Indians...not really but it sounds good
Usksider
Pro It's the Irish immigrants here in Wales... they'll tarmac anything!
Catch a look at my reply to Gardengirl (above)
See I'm wondering whether the term Indian Summer is really Canadian as opposed to American in origin...
brokendownangel
Pro That is hot!! The sun is shining here for a change - has been all weekend and is forecast til tomorrow, so better make the most of today x
Usksider
Pro Get out there and enjoy it while you can

Goodness! Great for sun-bathing!
BTW.....Indian Summer does not refer to the Indian sub-continent as is generally believed....but apparently originates in North America....referring to the North American Indians..... - Just 'double-checked'....
