37 degrees here (North West) and you can definitely feel the intensity of the sun, can't be out in it for too long.

Its vicious isn't it. I walked out of the back door earlier this afternoon and you are just hit with it. Made me have a premonition about the future where we have completely ****** the planet and its basically Mad Max.

Perhaps anyone responsible for climate change decisions that are ruining the planet should be forced to live in this heat for a few months a year without air-con.

Weather is wild here - getting a little of everything now except snow.

Where are you?

That's quite the temperature difference.

Got let go from work just after 1pm thankfully. None of us were particularly useful at fixing cars in that kinda heat, just not worth it.

It will, which means it has to work harder, and will cool less.

I wonder if any fires will happen as "acts of God" in order for people to get big insurance payouts or is that just a Hollywood TV/Film stereotype rather than a real thing?

It's 40°C outside and in my room I have to put thermal socks on and my hands are cold...

Seems quite an over reaction by your boss?! Still, take the week off and look for a new job as it gets cooler I guess...

We have a fire station within earshot and I’ve not heard so many sirens. They must be very busy. Sadly probably due to people’s stupidity.

Reports of Teenagers setting fires on purpose! Morons, the lot of em! :mad:

Yes it feels very oppressive, hard to breathe doing anything other than just festering in it!

Currently 37C here. Still rising albeit slowly. (In sun is likely over 40C as official temps in shade)

Outside clear blue, not even specks of clouds, no air movement.

I have some sweat, but way less then what would usually expect for 30+ temps, kind of similar to sweat would have at high 20s usually.

Hopefully they get caught and thrown in prison

EDIT : actually I will edit that, I realise that although its just a joke on a play on words, some might think I am intending to cause offence and I will get reported. Its a Jimmy Carr sort of joke and probably best I dont risk it.

We fix classic cars, it's not like we're letting anyone down with their daily driver by shutting up shop at least. Boss said he'd rather let us go and relax and not be ruined for the rest of the week.

If we're told to go home I don't need telling twice

Edit: we did start at 6.30 this morning too!
