Wet Week of July 14, 2024

Hyde Park - We've had some very hot, humid days lately.  I try to get out earlier before it gets too hot.  I'm enjoying watching the Osprey nest in Hyde Park.  It looks like only one chick.  The first couple of photos are the female and the third with her chick.  The male Osprey is fishing or perched at a huge tree behind the nest.

We had a very wet week.  Monday, London broke a century-old weather record, with a total of 59.3 millimeters of rain within a day.  The previous record 1923 was 45.2 mm.  After the record-breaking rain, London got hit with more heavy rain on Tuesday, bringing a total of 104 mm of rain 

A lot of flooding in the past few days. Some parks near the Thames River have closed such as Gibbons Park as most of the park is under water.
