It's too hot :(

[200sols]

The record up to this date is 38.7c so it fairly similar. I’m not saying it’s not hot but it is summer and summer is supposed to be hot. Sometimes we get crap summers and sometimes we get good or better summers.

It's becoming more common. 40c is not my idea of a good summer.

It's becoming more common. 40c is not my idea of a good summer.

Maybe. Well that’s subjective but the tourism industry makes a decent living off the back of people migrating to warmer climates:

On duty with West Mids Ambulance this evening... hoping the balance between being in the AC and increased sick people due to heat swings in my favour.

 

[something daft already!!]

Being on the coast, the temps did not rise above around 29 degrees C. It's just over 27 now and I have spent the day not moving much or wearing much either.

 

[Puzzled]

Supposed to reach peak a temp of 37c in the next hour or so here. Already 33c upstairs, sleeping will be fun tonight.

 

[McBain]

Absolutely festering here, nether regions swimming. Lovely.

 

[Malevolence]

Dinner tonight is green salad, ham, boiled egg, coleslaw, pickled onions and bread. That’ll do me in this weather.

Chicken tikka masala and rice for me.

I’m doing it wrong then, adjusting the centre latch so it can close without binding.

Probably need a professional fitter to come and do it correctly but for now my wife can at least close it without shouting for me to do it.

Yeah I was surprised for it to be adjusted like it, but it definitely works

This reminds me of that time I worked in Saudi, a cool 49c. The walk from the taxi to the office in a shirt and trousers was ... interesting.

Man cooks bacon, eggs and beans in 30 MINUTES on fridge

Danny Haw, 30, from West Yorkshire, said he was intrigued to see if his English breakfast would cook in the sunshine as temperatures soared to 40C in the UK today.

Btw, this worked for me today. I left all windows and doors wide open till 8am, got the house down to 21 then closed everything up including internal doors.

33 outside, 28 inside, (was 25 3 hours ago when it was still 33 outside).

Still rising slowly but won't catch up to outside temps.

A fan and a spray bottle on the head and neck and it's been a fine day.

Gonna make a nice Earl Grey now with jammy and buttered toast to dunk in in. The breeze and natural airflow through the open doors is sublime. Just feels right.

Also, looks like we will have to get used to it.

UK is no longer a cold country and must adapt to heat, say climate scientists

Experts call on UK officials to prepare for periods of extreme heat or risk thousands of excess deaths

same. I am dreading taking off my clothes for a shower later. The smell will probably knock me out. Im sitting in the garden whine the wife comes home and goes for a shower. 13 hours at the Hospital!!!!! dreading the stench.

Suns finally off the front of the house, so can open blinds and windows.

I think it's making things worse.

the Local weather station in Sheffield just tweeted that below makes you think damn roll on Wednesday

In 1911, temperatures reached 33.5 degrees. This record stood for 79 years, until it was broken in 1990 with 34.3 degrees. This record stood for 29 years, and was broken in 2019 with 35.1 degrees. That record stood for just 4 years before being matched in 2022.
