It's too hot :(

[Uther]

I think cheesefests point was that the next supermarket down sold out of bottled water - meaning their customers are intelligent enough to buy water at a slightly more upmarket chain. Whilst at the budget one they work at, customers weren’t buying bottled water during the heatwave due to them being stupid.

Maybe she could get a job there. There'd be a lot less whinging on the forums.

OK. Back. Home it's. Much hotter than yesterday!

It's a bit odd here near Kings Lynn, it says 30'c on the Met Forecast (with very little wind) but, having spent a few hours in the South facing back yard doing some gardening, it definitely "felt" much hotter when I was in London last weekend where it was only 27'c. Usually I'd blame the breeze for cooling me down for the reason why it feels cooler than the temp suggests but my garden has 8ft walls around it so even if there is a breeze it doesn't make it into the garden .

I think there is air movement cooling things down generally - though not great it isn't half as oppressive it would feel at these temperatures in work normally.

My now shaded garden is 27 with 30% humidity, cooler than anywhere in my house.

Stopped in a a friends Static caravan in Chapel st Leonards the last few days, got back to Derby this after noon. instantly wanted to go back, even though it was nice and sunny with some cloud, it was the nice strong evening breeze. Dreading the next few nights.

Is there going to be a big storm soon? Thats what usually happens after hot weather here right?

There was one forecast for Tuesday evening (through the night) but it seems to have changed to just rain now.

It doesn't look as likely as it was

We've got no water, burst main taking out most of the village/town and a possible leak under the floor but lack of water making it impossible to track

 

[dunker]

never felt more than 33c before so if it gets too bad im just gonna lay in a tepid-cool bath all day.

hotels etc charging 3x room prices for air-con, that's not on imo. insert many fully starred out words
right here.

I hope the council or water board are delivering free bottled water?

I'll take the rain, Wednesdays forecast is a much nicer 23c

Awful timing!

Agreed you'd have thought by the fact they're getting out of the ordinary reservations that would be enough for them... Standard profiteering.

Hottest I've been in is 42C and that was pretty tough.

not yet contemplating for the vulnerable, we kind of saw it coming as pressure dropped so filled up a few flasks and a pot. Family near by if it prolongs

 

[Mr.Cookie]

yeah its not great, but at least we haven't high water pressure spraying it everywhere and its hot so drying out

Hottest I've ever experienced was 112f (44.4c) when on holiday in Kalymnos, 1987.

An Englishwoman died on the island a week earlier due to the heat.

I mean, I like the heat, but not that hot!

I remember waking up in the middle of the night, and just drinking a shed load of water from the fridge to cool down.

I was really looking forward to the storm after this epic heat. Would be awesome to watch if it happens.

 

[Freefaller]

Same. I like it warm up to 30c is gorgeous for me. Above 30 is nice but not in the UK or at least not in London (glad that I don't live there!). On holiday or in the Med it's so easy to deal with and you don't even need A/c.
