Of course, we are used to temperature in the high thirties up here in Yorkshire.










Fahrenheit, natch :D

I didn't venture out - much - today, the thermometer has been upwards of 34 all day and reached around 37.5 at some point.

Certainly no fun tonight either.

In ye olde fartingheights, it's surpassed 90°F today, but in modern money, it was at about 34°C outside, just stepping out into it to deposit some rubbish in the fly-infested wheeliebin, it was horrible!!!! But it's darkening off now ready for rain, I hope, may just sit out in it to cool off... :-rofl2

The F-word fine with me - 100.6 °F here in Cambridge. Back to the C-word, 38.1°C. A UK record for July, and almost reaching the all-time record in the UK for any month (38.5°C).

We has a brief "sprinkle" around 6pm - all that did was to drive the humidity sky high, just like one day (in fact all our days!) in Cambodia a few years ago - absolutely awful :oops:

That came past here around an hour earlier. I went to shut the roof hatch and it had already moved on.

Unfortunately, the stormy weather must have caught wind of my armpits and avoided me, so no rain, just distant thunder...

"What a difference a day makes!" - thunder, lightning & heavy rain overnight, and now it's grey, overcast and very humid. Temp is more bearable, but more rain likely.

Seems to be the case - but Monday should be fairly rain-free, although rain seems likely to be back on Tuesday & Wednesday.

Confirmed - hottest day ever in the UK on Thursday, at 38.7°C in my back garden (well, a mile away in the Botanic Garden :lol: )

Heathrow is about ten miles from here and reached over 33 degrees yesterday, the outdoor thermometer is already showing upwards of 31 degrees.

I'm not looking forward to this afternoon at all.
