The BBC seem to have downgraded their forecast for here (west London) from 40cto 38c. I for one am glad we still have our scaffolding up as it is quite nicely blocking the direct sunlight into my office window and bathroom window 
(south facing)
I remember last year when we moved here the bathroom was a total sauna in mid-20c. I had to put cardboard over the window!
Going to nip out to the grocers to get some supplies now but otherwise wfh, possible move downstairs if it gets a bit much.

I got my gym session in this morning. At least I've done something productive already! 
To be fair it's pretty cool still.

OK, I just sealed the house up. Windows and doors will remain shut as much as possible for the next 36 hours
Wish I could do that.

Down to 37, 38 here. There’s a tiny bit of cloud cover blocking the sun, although that’s made it really muggy again.

It seems more of the heat has shifted north. I assume you don’t have air con.
the purge is starting ....
Birds seem very fussy about accepting water .. wonder what kind of colour of container they like , or why they let bread (going of much faster than usual so some mouldy crusts) dry out.

Still forecasting 40°C here by 17:00.
It’s not yet 10:00 and it‘s 30°C in the shade and, since it didn’t drop below 23-24°C overnight, opening all the windows and doors when I woke up at 08:00 just meant I swapped one load of warm air for another.

The red warnings have been mainly for the centre/east of the country though haven't they?
