It was 16C/61F today. That's a nice comfortable temperature for walking especially for the dogs.

Gonna be lots of over dramatic moaning ninnies on here next week
That's ok. You can do the over dramatic moaning ninny-ing in the Winter time.
Is it dry or wet heat?
Cause I've experienced both and I can safely say 25c with high humidity is much worse than 35c and it's dry.
Where I am summers are high 20s to mid 30s and some days the humidity sits at 90% and on those days it's unbearable - hard to breath, sweat doesn't evaporate and fans hardly help

It's a really British thing I've noticed, it's either too hot, too cold, too wet or whatever. Whenever I go back home to the Med the weather is never spoken about because it's sunny and warm all the time!That's ok. You can do the over dramatic moaning ninny-ing in the Winter time.
In the UK it really doesn't get that hot or that cold. It's just seasonal - which isn't a bad thing.

- Southampton, hopefully not too hot, or too cold
I wouldn't rely on Boris' being free, four days is a long time to go without another scandal coming out.
My car has a utility/camping mode. Think I'll be sleeping in that overnight with the climate set to 19C

Thats because the UK weather is generally just **** no matter what the temperature.
In the winter its cold and damp and overcast 90% of the time and then when Summer gets going its hot, sweaty and oppressive. Best times of year by a country mile in the UK are spring and autumn because they are warm enough, sunny but not muggy.
That's the problem - we get so many spikes in weather, cold, hot, wet, dry, that you never really get used to anything. Everything feels a big jump from the norm and it becomes uncomfortable.It's a really British thing I've noticed, it's either too hot, too cold, too wet or whatever.

Fair point. Taking kids out in spring and autumn is always interesting.... So much gear to take "just in case!".
I must admit the damp and the humidity are parts of the seasons that I really don't like. I think winter could be called dreary which is not fun though. It is nice having clear sunny crisp cold wintry days but as you say they're not always like that. Similar to the summer, it's not always a hot with nice breeze. It's often humid and unpleasant to a certain degree.

Single room split AC system on offer for £360! :
Not best ever quality but it will work - low price to pay for sleeping comfort in a modern well insulated house.

Wow. That's hot! I really hope it's nice on Thursday. Plan to be on the water from 6-10pm if conditions are good!
If it's this hot ill be in the water too!
That's a bargain that is. If you're competent enough to fit it yourself or can get it fitted cheap, then it's a much better option than portable aircon.
Until you get your first electricity bill after fitting and realise you're now bankrupt
