That would not be cool.

Very good.

Im no expert, but there must be a big danger of power cuts in this weather with melted power lines or whatever

Met office says 37% humidity here, and my sensor thing in the office says 50% and 25.2c. There are clouds blocking the sun. We must be the coolest part of the country right now.

Don't forget to light a candle and change your Facebook profile pic for your local substation transformers.

20% and 34ºC in the shade in my garden

31 deg here, ~40% humidity.

Not a cloud in the sky. Doing the laundry for free courtesy of the solar panels. Just sat down in the garden with a nice cold Stella! Picked a great week to be off work!

You wouldn't think Scotland was warmer than England last summer.

My colleague says it is raining in Heysham, so it will probs rain here in five mins. I walk home at 1600 so I am not surprised.

E: started raining at 15:10

36.8c here in Atherton 20% humidity. :eek:

CaptainRAVE · 18 Jul 2022 at 15:11

Just checked the forecast where my dad lives, 41C tomorrow. It’s unusual to see it cooler by London, ‘only’ 38C for us.

Spoke to our MD in Sydney earlier. It’s 12c there and he was freezing. What the world coming to

12C isn't warm that's for sure!

Our CEO has said if we want to work "Med" style, i.e. start early, mid-day siesta and then work later when it's cooler, then we should feel empowered to do so. I thought that was nice.

Wokingham. My thermometer hits 52 in the back garden in direct sunlight (I think it's the metal heating up rather than the air temperature), 42 in the shade, 30 indoors. I am melting.

Kelt · 18 Jul 2022 at 15:15

Only one thing to do in this heat, gonna cook me a hot dinner!

Got a nice slab of tenderloin pork to chuck in the Ninja, plus a baked potato topped off with mature cheddar, fried mushrooms and egg, along with spicy sausage in those small pasta thingies, forgotten what they're called.

Just hit 31.5 in my TV/Gaming room and the PC, PS5, Monitor or TV aren't even on. Probably hit 50 if I turn that lot on.

Yeah but the soul crushing of living in Blackburn makes the weather so much worse.

All fields round here. In Costa Del Rishton. Couldn’t pay me to live in the actual centre of Blackburn it’s a cess pit

Air in London feels like a hot fan. Everything is just hot and the buildings just emit heat. Definitely feels hotter than when I’m on holiday in the med.

I worked 5am to 1pm today. Escape from the hottest temperatures.
