Incase you missed it then yes, this weather is becoming more common and extreme heatwaves will become more likely in the UK due to climate change.

Just back from an eleven mile ride around the reservoir, reading 91F on my bike computer, that's hot for this country!
Was flagging towards the end, I need to get fit.
Sweating more that a turkey at Christmas the last half hour sat in the house.

After playing RDR 2 for a few hours last night at 1440p maintaining above 60FPS all times with it still being above 30c outside I honestly think my office was pushing 40c - insanely hot but good atmosphere for a cowboy game.
My windows are hot to the touch again right now with 34c outside, has to about 36c in my office now, but last night about 2am it dropped to 21c at the lowest, that's the time to open the windows wide for a few hours. After playing RDR 2 my office felt about double the temp of my bedroom that had the windows wide open.
Just as well I'm self employed and make my own time, first time I could actually could sleep last night in about 3 days but not till about 5am.

I've not even done a little pootle since a Sunday lunch madness two hour ride, last few days it's been bad enough walking, if you head out after ~0730.
Thunderstorm forecast now ~1930 today, no chance at 1600ish.
I ought to head out on the bike and do z1 for 30mins or so, but I dread how much fridge cold water I'll consume after drinking 1l while walking yesterday... Maybe two 1l bottles should do it for a 30min ride?

Scotrail appear to have known about the landslip and flood that caused this but allowed the line to stay open.

Yep, quite frankly it's rage inducing now, I bet we miss all the rain and storms as well.

Weather is bubbling up again. It’s crazy humid today.
Must admit it's a bit warm today. It's fine if you're just sat still but try doing anything and it's not very pleasant.
I think one 3 my living room is decorated in going to look into a split AC. The recent thread was interesting to see they're not as expensive as I first thought.

We've had endless 33-34c days here in Cambridge. I had a split AC system install in April so its been bliss since then and perfect timing for it. My house is a new build which just heats up and doesn't drop below 28-29c at night!
I have just had solar control film fitting to all the back windows of my 4 bed house (£280 all in) and my god I can stand in front of the window and not feel the heat! Highly recommend it to help keep your rooms cool. Another bonus is I can also have my blinds fully open and no longer have a glare on my monitor!
