Cooler

Yesterday was another very hot day here on the south shore.It was a couple of degrees warmer than Thursday,according to my thermometers,and I read highs of +30°C in the shade and +40°C in the sun.The temps were a little cooler on the coast and there was a fairly strong breeze for most of the day.
The temps remained warm through the evening and we were still at at +20°C at 10PM when the ISS was passing over our area(photos below).
Some clouds moved into the area before midnight but have since dissipated.
Today is expected to be another sunny day with the temps in the more normal range.
The current conditions are:
+12°C
Clear
Calm

The forecast for today and tomorrow:
Today

Clearing early this morning. High 10 except 16 inland. UV index 8 or very high.
Tonight: Increasing cloudiness this evening. Low 7.
Sunday: Cloudy with 60 percent chance of showers in the morning and afternoon then cloudy periods. Fog patches along the coast. Wind becoming southwest 20 km/h late in the day. High 13.

Another hot day

Yesterday was an absolute scorcher here in Liverpool.The highs on my thermometers were:+28°C in the shade and +36°C in the direct sun.Thankfully,there was a nice breeze.
The evening remained clear and warm and was perfect,once again,for viewing the ISS as it passed our area.
Today apparently will be a repeat performance and then cooler weather is expected tomorrow.
Current conditions here @ 8:00AM are:
+16°C
Clear
Wind is light SE.
We are only one degree below today's forecast high for this area.However,that is actually the Western Head forecast where the weather station is located.It's almost 10km from Liverpool and very close to the cold Atlantic.We will see the 'inland ' temps here.

The forecast:
Today

Sunny. Wind southwest 30 km/h gusting to 50. High 17 except 28 inland. UV index 8 or very high.
Tonight: Increasing cloudiness with 60 percent chance of showers overnight. Fog patches developing overnight. Low 8.
Saturday: Clearing early in the morning. Fog patches dissipating in the morning. High 9 except 15 inland.

If it remains clear enough,ISS passes tonight are:
9:49PM rising in the NW,heading to the east and visible for about 5 minutes
and
at 11:23PM rising in the NW but only visible for about 3 minutes as it heads towards the south.
