It's too hot :(

Thought yesterday wasn't bad at all. Decent enough weather in the day but it had cooled down enough at night for me to get a decent night's sleep.
Not looking forward to next week though...

Quite a cool breeze coming through the window last night...Winter Is Coming!

I wonder whether we’ll break the hottest day record.

37C is mind blowing for the UK, especially over a few days and a low of 21C at night. Our climate is boned.

38.7c was the highest recorded temp in Cambridge in July 2019.

The one previously to this was somewhere on the Cambs/Norfolk border in Aug 1990. That was 38.5c. I was about 10 miles from that place. My relative’s plastic shoes misshapened in the heat

Even the northerners are going to get blasted early next week. 40C in Yorkshire! Lets see how you cope compared to us just like when we get a little bit of snow down south

I've put in a holiday request for next Tuesday. Trying to work in 35c, no thanks. Will probably pop myself off to the swimming baths instead

Time to do what SE Asians do and uses umbrella for shades

CaptainRAVE · 14 Jul 2022 at 12:09

32,37,37. Who knows what it’ll be by Sunday. Madness. 20C minimums too.

Terminal_Boy · 14 Jul 2022 at 12:20

Forecast for Sunday and Monday is 40°C and 41°C with an overnight low of 22°C.

I‘m getting any outside jobs done by 10am and hiding from the sun for the rest of the day.

MR_Punk · 14 Jul 2022 at 12:25

I don't ever remember a forecast with numbers like this for us up North

VaderDSL · 14 Jul 2022 at 12:29

There's also looking to be some strong chances of severe thunderstorms as well, hit and miss depending on where they pop up. High CAPE and instability in some areas, although this might also change. Could see some severe localised flooding/hail damage in places.

Good chance I'll melt on Monday & Tuesday.

The roads certainly will. It’ll be very hot in full sun.

Supposed to be emptying the loft on Tuesday, booked the day off to do it pre loft conversion starting next month

Cobra meeting about this incoming heat blast is in progress

Surely they’ll close stuff for a couple of days. Madness for schools to stay in when there’s so few days left, at least for Monday/Tuesday. Our infrastructure just can’t cope, even with just vaguely extreme weather.

400kg of granite chippings moved this morning, 400kg to move this afternoon but a spot of sunbathing before lunch first.

A loft conversion is on to do list ,need to find out what I can do before council tax is reassed
My dad's birthday on Sunday so up near Leeds on the very hot days ,at least I can keep an eye on my folks

CaptainRAVE · 14 Jul 2022 at 13:13

Our loft will definitely be a no go zone.

Zenduri · 14 Jul 2022 at 13:20

This is the current outlook for me in Notts and every day i look at it, it gets higher lol
