I know what you mean, and this will be of no consolation at all, but …

I’ve seen worse. 😑

I admire your optimism.

I might start using Clear Outside as a tool to indicate what I should drink. Every time I look at it - Red= a glass of red wine, Amber = a glass of beer and green = a cup of tea.

What do you think?

And I thought it was because of my charming personality... 😁

Quick, if you get out at 23:00 there might be a break in the clouds! 😂

[Astro Waves]

I know, its been like this for weeks! had one clear night and guess when that was.....full moon and then couldn't find any where to go shoot which was more annoying.

It can't really be that bad ... I think CO has just deployed their new "night mode" feature ...

The Great British Summer 😁

[Astro Waves]

Hahaha, joining the cloudy nights club! 

Bit frustrating isn't it.

Meanwhile, in the Atacama desert in Chile....

Tomasz Schafernaker said that the low pressure is locked into the UK for some days and shorter nights are not helping. At least the pubs are open on Monday.

[Astro Noodles]

Well, I must say that Clear Outside's forecast has proved to be remarkably accurate. I hope the weather improves soon - I don't think my liver can take much more of this.😄

[skyhog]

Yes truly terrible the last week or so and the forecast for the week ahead doesn't look a great deal better. The central heating is still coming on which really annoys me... 😒

[Zermelo]

Just had hail and lightning here, following on from rain of biblical proportions.

Someone must just have bought some serious kit.

[johninderby]

Hail and rain earlier today but now has turned into a nice sunny evening with clear skies. A bit of lunar observing perhaps this eve .

[Dave61]

I'll just be glad to have some clear nights, been cloudy and a lot of rain and hail.

Doubt it was my most recent delivery - not yet opened.

Been clear during the past three days, then cloud starts coming over about 20:00 hrs

Generally I find Clear Outside is reliable but sometimes it pays to look at a radar app too. We've had nothing but showers but clear spells in-between for a couple of weeks. On Sunday evening,  Clear Outside gave me a red (as per usual this last while) but I looked at a radar app and I could see no clouds coming for a couple of hours. I set up and enjoyed observing Mercury and the Moon.

 

[Astro Noodles]

 Still no improvement. I did get out for an hour last night but the transparency was poor.
