It was about 85 degrees and sunny this past weekend with low humidity. I played Disc Golf and then mowed. As mowing took a little over 4 hours I am now thoroughly sunburned on my legs and arms. As my shorts came just a bit higher than my former tanline an inch or two above my knee is lobster red, and walking hurts.
The lawn looks great though.

It used to be a tobacco farm.
The entire section outlined in red is what we have to mow.
And here are some pictures around my house from the snowstorm to give you more practical idea of size.
My front yard, the tree is gone now.
My backyard up to my wife's grandparents' house.
I am bad about guessing acreage, but I would say 4-5 acres total.

Throwing the image into AutoCAD and enlarging it up to the 200' scale, it comes out to 3.8 acres, based on your red outline.

Since we're on the weather and mowing topic, I usually mow on either Saturday or Sunday. This weekend it was raining on an off so I didn't get a chance have to. The plus side - I had a few extra hours to kill. The downside - I have (3) 32 gallon garbage cans that I use for grass and every (normal) week I fill them all completely full. I'll be going on a week and a half of rainy weather so I'll end up making at least two trips to dump the grass.
Correction - looking at the forecast, I might not get to mow until Friday afternoon. I might lose a kid in there by then!

For over two weeks straight, cold, cloudy with chance of drizzle. June Gloom. Crap.

It was warm and sunny here too, but not for long. It started raining and there was some thunder too, no hail though. It is just cloudy now and has stopped raining. Isn't this countries weather wonderfully strange, I am kind of use to it by now, infact I quite like it.

Like you two, it was warm and sunny this morning, it's now like a monsoon here now and we are expected to get two month's worth of rain in the next twelve hours 👍 
What's wrong with my hands!

An addendum to my previous post - I just took a look at the radar. I wasn't aware that "Times of sun and clouds" really meant "Very likely chance of heavy downpours".
Hopefully it holds off until after my sons baseball game...

I travelled into Edinburgh today to shop and stuff. Went into a shop, came out and it was drizzling. went to the car to get my jacket then went to another shop. When i came out, it was torrential rain, straight downwards and the raindrops where massive
About half an hour later when we were going home, the roads were flooded

OFICCIALLY OFFICIAL:
I have not seen rain in one whole month. And I have not left Seattle for that whole month. This is a year of firsts. This was my first year experiencing negative temperatures, and a record for the longest time without any percipitation. (Well, maybe SoCal beat a month when I lived down there a couple years.) I think I also went the longest time without seeing the sun, too.
So it's supposed to be 70 and sunny today.
DO NOT WANT!

It's finally starting to get towards what Michigan summers typically feel like here. Supposed to be 80 today without a cloud in the sky. Although tonight thunderstorms should be moving in and it's going to be cool and rainy all day tomorrow. Actually looking at the forecast it's supposed to rain until Saturday...not that I have a problem with it since it will really make my tomato plants grow.
I'm just dreading the 95 degree humid August because I just feel it coming.

Noooooo! Looks like June Gloom will be over soon. It's going to be 95 in two days. That's too hot. I was enjoying the mild temperatures, but they're soon gone.
Back to sweating my balls off just going outside for the mail... *sigh*

Rain, and lots of it, supposed to be near an inch of precipitation by tonight. Then we are looking at a cloudy day tomorrow then thunderstorms on Friday and Saturday. Temps are still pretty low, only going to be in the high 60's today and the low 70's the rest of the week. This has been a weird June, we are only a few days away from the summer solstice and it has only broken 80 maybe once or twice.
