- Southampton, hopefully not too hot, or too cold
Was quite pleasant 16C at ~0500 when I briefly woke, but having crashed at gone midnight, I was in no state to get up and get out on the bike. Next thing I know it was almost 0900 and 25C, another baking day hitting 32C, still 28C at 2000...
Had a little sulk because I'm wasting an annual leave week in this heatwave and decided I'd rather torture myself on the turbo trainer doing a constructive workout at 28C before I started, rather than head out for ~45mins and take it easy in case I ran out of water.
Lovely cool bath after helped recover and then relax afterwards.

I need it to rain soon in order to save the garden. Every time there’s a weather warning we completely miss it.

29.8c in this room was 31.5 earlier.
My bedroom has set a new personal best - 30.9C Congratulations to my bedroom on its new PB! 54% humidity too, so the air is soup.
Downstairs it's cold enough at night for me to need a thin blanket over me while I sleep.
It's a bit strange to be sleeping in my living room, but it works.

sprinkler?
Tbh unlike June last year the morning dews have been really heavy so lawn getting a good soaking, I give certain plants a hose on a night, have a pipe permanently hidden in hedging so no messing.
Snail and slugs more my issue, just been on patrol, down by the mini Pond

Stay cool plan for the day:
Curtains shielding rooms from the sun
Fan blowing at my WFH desk
Fridge loaded with cold drinks, including iced latte
No cooker use, Outdoor BBQ or cold meals
Back and front door both open periodically to allow the meagre draught through
Hot tub on a cool setting after work
*Cold shower
Late evening walk before bed in the cooler air
Have I missed anything?
