Working on my patio table this morning under the parasol and even with the breeze it's warm AF!

I have had a big pedestal fan blowing in to the study since 7:30, and the window as open as it can be, and it is already just livable... I fear for the afternoon!

EDIT: The afternoon:

That'll work a treat for a 7 days a year you actually need it in the UK

There's a lovely wind here in the northwest. It's like sitting in a hairdryer. The only good things are that (1) it's a great day to wash bedding (2) my tomatoes have finally started to blush from green to red and (3) I can sit on my porch playing slide guitar and pretend I'm in South Carolina. At least, I can until the varnish on my guitar starts blistering.

For downstairs, I agree but for upstairs I run it nearly every day from late spring until autumn. I sleep better when the room is below 18 degrees.

Agreed

Also whilst it isn't always needed to actually cool you'd be really surprised what a difference it makes just due to it dehumidifying the air, and if it has a streamer built in it neutralises particles in the air and stuff (great for the allergies)

It can be run in reverse and used to heat the place as well. Also I bet he's not sweating his nuts off trying to sleep tonight like you

36.8°C at Heathrow, making it the second hottest July day on record!

I'm quiet enjoying it, I could get used to just having a hot day here and there. Back to normal tomorrow.
