Min temp here in the Ludwell Valley last night was 4.4 C, my coldest
August temp in 7 years of records; I see that the airport AWS site
recorded 2.0 C !

You're right! Readings this morning show a minimum of 3.4°C, and a grass
minimum of 2.4°C.

These are the lowest August minimum & grass temperatures in over 5 years.

Me poor chillies won't be happy.


My chillies are now three inches high. Don't know why I bothered really,
not a chance outside up here.
Enjoy the last of the summer wine, I'm sticking to my autumn forecast of
"warm n'wet". Might invest in a new pair of wellies as I fancy we are
going to need them. Only 6C here last night with the wind keeping teh
temperature up.

Will do you use any renewable energy supplements up there?
You know a turbine some solar panels. I always feel that a south facing
conservatory is a fantastic heat collector.

In fact does any contributor to this NG use solar, heat pumps and wind?

I might make this a new thread.
