It's too hot :(

[200sols]

We're not forecast much at all here, maybe a thunderstorm on Tuesday, but then sunny again. Must be terrible for the wildlife.

Put some water out for the wildlife.

Ok, your earlier link shows they leaked 463million litres a day, their latest annual report shows they supplied 1.52billion litres per day total actually (slightly higher than the 1.3billion I said, that was older data). So I make that 30.4% total leakage per day.

You can download the annual report here https://www.scottishwater.co.uk/Help-and-Resources/Document-Hub/Key-Publications/Annual-Reports

I was assuming when they [Scottish Water] were exceeding targets then they wouldn't be leaking that amount. However, maybe there's a distinction between leaking 30% of demand versus leaking 30% of available supply.

In any case, I stand corrected and thanks for pointing that out with the link.

Our 3 year old decided to turn on all the oil storage radiators early this morning - thanks kid!

Hmm, did he happen to start up your log burner too?

Well, yes, the heating in our house is pretty old and inefficent, but no - I became suspicious when I saw him charging around with matches and a firelighter.

Shaved my head before a shower, sweating and the cut hair is falling and sticking to me.

Went for a shower afterwards which was lovely, came out and started sweating.

Feel like that last 3 or so days all i've done is drink and sweat.

I quit trying to put up with it and just whacked all my AC units 24/low. So far keeping on top of the heat nicely (at a cost).

Looks like I'll need to run them until about midnight or so before I can switch to the old window open fresh air method.

need to lay down for a few hours, nearly 6pm and 29c in the shade.
met office lies.

zzzzzzzz

Quite enjoyed the the weather myself, been pleasant going for a stroll early morning/late afternoon recently. Mind you the cat isn't finding it fun, found her sleeping in the shed during the day this past week and she's more than happy to stay out all night as its cooler than inside.

Showing 33C in the shade here - my car was showing 37C when I got in and it had mostly been parked in the shade.

I've found the BBC to be more accurate, the Met Office had much lower predicted temperatures a few days ago.

Thats the problem with cold showers you get that temporary relief but as soon as it wears off the sweat is worse than when you went in as your body is adjusting on a larger differential from cold to hot.

Still see people walking their dogs in 34c heat!

Poor dogs!

 

[Dirk Diggler]

It's really lovely sitting out in the back patio right now, nice breeze and 23C according to the app on my phone. Got the tunes pumping from the smart speaker - perfect Saturday night conditions.

The hysterical media won't ruin this gorgeous summer for me.

I think part of the problem in the UK is we only get short bursts of heat; It's too hot....oh i'm getting used to it...aaaaand its cold again.
