It's too hot :(

Portable aircon units currently working overtime to keep the house cool. Working so far, let's see how the afternoon goes.

Put some washing out on the line about an hour ago - dry already!

Not too bad in the shade, there’s a decent breeze. My gaming air con is just about managing

Kayak Is already packed in the car. Ready to dash out after work to beach. If I can even get a space (in the car park, beach is huge )

 

[Stumble Bum]

Curtains shut, just the bathroom window open, fan on, I'm very cool so far.

What's all the fuss about

32c here in north Hampshire!

Scorchio!

Classic NHS, in a large open office with 20 colleagues with windows on every side.

One working desk fan, two broken desk fans, no AC

Very warm.

Glad I don't have an appt in the eye clinic today. The waiting area is windowless, airless and soulless place. With one crappy fan which everyone fights over the 3 seats (out of 45-50) it cools down.

in restrospect might be interesting to open the loft hatch at night time , and let that heat dissipate, otherwise its a bit of a hot air heat store.

R4today interviews with schools cancelling pe classes - a statement of childrens health - or a genuine sun-screen/hydration perspective,
after listening to TDF inteviews yesterday uk competitors trained for Japan olympics in green houses, so can give fitness gains.

Only around 27 outside here currently but I'm expecting to have a snow, hail, rain and then back to sun at any second

29 here. I'm going to brave it and go and see what temp my greenhouse is. My tortoise who sleeps in it was very keen to get out of it this morning. Forgot to look how hot it was in there before the doors were opened.

I am going to be eating so much froyo over the next 2 days

Eating lunch in the garden under the parasol, 33c. The wind feels really warm!

Children can't regulate their body temperatures as well as adults, they are at a much higher risk of heat stroke / overheating compared to adults

Indeed. That's why ours are coming back at 130pm.

33C here at the moment, I'm starting to think we're not going to see any records today, and that this whole thing is a ploy between the media and the supermarkets to sell more melon.

EDIT: 34C

It seems to spike late afternoon and then stays hot for a while. Tomorrow ramps up far quicker.

 

[mattyfez]

I've had what I presume to be mild heat stroke previously, it's horrendous, its like having the flu but worse.

 

[Lysander]

I've just put my water bottle in the freezer. No point in putting ice cubes in it. They disappear after five minutes.

42 in the sun should get up further later afternoon
