24C outside now, 27C in the lounge, if we're lucky it might drop to 19C outdoors around 0400.

At least there's a nice breeze here in Southampton tonight, was still pretty warm today but thank god for light cloud cover most of the day. Not looking forward to tomorrow but at least I've got the pool to jump in.

Roll on Tuesday onwards next week, give me all the heavy rain and big thunderstorms you can throw at me please god.

Roll on October, anything past 25c and I start to really hate summer.

It cooled a lot here tonight just north of London. Enough for a workout anyway. Tomorrow and Monday are now both 33C though

Also 33 on tue and 32 on wed with thunderstorms and rain. That’ll be interesting.

Takes ages for the heat to dissipate in my flat. Still 24.5c indoors but 16/17c outside.

I’m enjoying a cool 27° at the moment. Taking the day off after a double changeover in 38° yesterday.

I used to be on the 12th floor, and had that problem too. Always 4-5 degrees above outside.

Never get a top floor flat its hotter than the rest of the building in summer and about the same degrees colder in winter. Flat roofs are worse.

It wasn't the top floor

Looks like Cornwall might be the first area to be hit by the potential four days of thunderstorms, 20C already in Southampton, but for a change we might not reach 30C... Woohoo!

On the beach in Holkham (north Norfolk coast) yesterday and it was cold enough for me to be in a jumper and the kids in jackets. The temp difference between there and even a few miles away was weird.

NickK · 10 Aug 2020 at 12:55

Temp in the sun in back garden Has hit 50degC. About 32-34 inside..

200sols · 10 Aug 2020 at 12:55

I think not. If it were 50 degrees C it would be an all-time record for this country. Are you seriously saying that your garden is hotter than Phoenix, Arizona? Something is wrong with your equipment if that's what it's telling you.

In the sun.... remember he said in the sun.. so yes it is rubbish but his thermometer could show that in the sun.

Correct. If you're in the sun and yes I have a thermometer in the sun. The ground gets that too so I suspect the slabs are a good 40degC. I would be very concerned if the air temp was 50 in the UK!

It's like my conservatory temps stopped registering at 69.9degC although I've been in there at 67degC.

The pond is warming up too but the Lilly pads have been shading the fish even when they want to sun bathe!

I'm in Somerset - keep getting 4 days of "thunderstorms" on the weather forecast but it keeps getting pushed back so not sure if it will materialise. It is starting to feel quite close though so might build up to it.

EDIT: Looks like some activity in North Wales at the moment though.

It's too hot :(
