Not quite as bad as that, but we had some here having a bbq in a field that is completely dead and dry, literally just needing a spark go to up in flames. The police intervened fortunately. How stupid can you be. We’ve had some close calls in this area alone, our firefighters are doing a tremendous job.

What a week to be on holiday in Devon.
Nice breeze on the coast. Was down in Brighton yesterday and it’s just so much less stuffy than in Hertfordshire. The added benefit that I probably got high off all the weed being smoked by everyone down there too
Same here. Police do nothing.
Little *****. No repercussions either.
That tree above is an ancient one too
disgusting thing to do, I'd give them 30 years in jail for that, what a thing to do cause you were bored, who brings these people up.This is what they did (picture taken from a local FB group).
The field is bone dry and recently harvested, it's about 30 metres from the edge of the estate.

Those kids need clapping silly.

I live pretty much right on the beach front, i could have cooled the house down nicely overnight by opening up some windows and letting the breeze through...
but i'm looking after my mums cat this week while she's away, and as soon as i open a window (even the little top ones) the cat's straight up onto the window sill trying to make a break for freedom

The word "arbicide" needs to go mainstream and become a crime.

Wildlife under stress as dry spell shrinks rivers
Most of the world's chalk streams are in southern and eastern England and are under particular strain.

Maybe if we didn't stop building reservoirs 40 years ago while the population has grown 30% in that time we would have sufficient water supply and if government actually punished water companies for inadequate infrastructure
Or better yet, perhaps invest in some Desalination plants seeing as though we're surrounded by a mass of salt water (yes I know Desalination is more costly but it's surely not more costly than the cost to the environment)

My forecast peak was 30c, then went up to 33c, now says 36c.
In b4 39c.

My outdoor temp gauge is smack on 100f - it is in full sun though.
Yeah I hate these predictions you see, they are always underestimated it seems these days so you prepare yourself for say 32 and when it comes around its shot up to 36, really throws you off cause you haven't expected it as scorching.

Getting rather uncomfortable inside again, 29C in my office. Downstairs still reasonably cool for now though.

Just before I left, communication from head office to remove disposable BBQs as one of the sources of grass fires and a bin lorry fire.
They should be banned forever. As idiots have disposable BBQs in places you should not be having them - beaches and public parks (unless they have an area dedicated for them). Plus they don’t clean up the rubbish. One of my Wombles found a bbq with a pack of 10 rolls with 3 left and two bottles of ketchup and mayo with only a fifth taken from them. What a waste
