It's too hot :(

how come bbc news claim 56.6c but the national park service website says 57c in 1913

ahh I see now they are rounding the C temp up from 134f. it should be 56.6667c

59f when I went out on my bike this morning.

Crazy when most of Europe is having 100f plus, temps.

I like the heat but I'll stick with what we have now in the UK.

I'm wearing the hooded blanket thing I wear during winter in the middle of summer. The jetstream needs to fix itself asap! It shouldn't be 14c (57f for Kelt's sake :D) in the middle of July!

i've been talking to some people .. and we are blaming it on the gulf stream .. it's dropped in line with portugal which is the line where all the heat is .... so you have low after low rolling across the ocean bringing cold and rain and because theres no heat you can't get a high to form or sustain itself except lower down .. which in fact just pulls more cold down ..

We're all different I guess. I can happily walk around in 30c without breaking a sweat where as you can barely function, it would seem, when it's 20c. Also of note, I live in a very old building with 8ft high, single glazed sash windows. It doesn't take much to get that 'outside feeling' inside.
 
It's nice in the distillery at this temperature (big roller doors open as stills off) can still get away with a t-shirt , heading up to Yorkshire at the weekend so rain here next week is fine for my pots
 
“A NASA scientist has warned that this summer will be the coolest for the rest of people's lives”

since it's only 17c outside I hope he's right
