It's too hot :(

32.1C at this time still. Going outside is like being abroad. Madness!

If only we could store this heat for the winter months

If we could it would suddenly become taxable.

Don't give them ideas! :cry:

Dashed outside mid shower to switch the sprinkler off, I knew I’d make it rain. Disgustingly sandy rain too.

‘20%’ chance of rain apparently…even the current forecast is crap.

Gone windy and rainy

Completely cooled down outside now - probably not over 17C - but taking time to shift the heat inside

So now we moan about it cooling down too much after moaning about it being too hot all day.

How typically British.

You could technically do it with a house sized heatsink warming water in a loop that could be drained into a house sized Thermos to keep it warm till winter

I'd imagine you'd need a much bigger volume than that to warm a house for a good slice of the colder months.

I think I’ll stick with radiators thanks

I’ve had to put my Haribo in the fridge. Oh, the humanity!

It’s basically been like sitting in front of a hairdryer all day here. Now that it’s started to cool and I want to blow the hot air of of the house it’s as still as anything

Went to post a parcel yesterday as someone bought my leather jacket off Depop. The heat I was hit with as I opened the door was immense.

Also who buys a leather jacket now... Poor sods gonna melt!

Today's been no better either. Just put the bins out and its still muggy.

Every window open fans pointing outside must get this heat out

The building is radiating a lot of heat currently. Switched off the air con, it shot back up to 31C within a few minutes.

Don’t you think we’ve had enough hardship for one day without a load of dreadlocked aliens turning up to exterminate us?

I thought Priti already had that sorted and they're just getting deported to Rwanda as soon as they arrive these days?

I wish we had some of this rain right now. Originally forecasted for some rain / thunder on Wednesday, that changed to Tuesday afternoon... still nothing.

CaptainRAVE · 19 Jul 2022 at 22:00

Storms growing in the south east.
