I saw 105f / 30.5c in the car today.
I'd also left a half full can of coke inside it for the day. I could hold the can for about five seconds before having to put it back down again, it was so hot.

Those car things are pretty poor I think. Mine said 31c but actual weather stations had it at 27/28.

Moving to a house with air conditioning soon, can’t wait. Hate hot nights.

The high looks to have been 98f. Sitting on a black tarmac parking lot...probably not that far off. Unpleasant, regardless.

Southwold beach this morning. Another glorious day ahead.

Today is 'Sort the flipping garage out once and for all' day.

Not enough camels.

The difference a day makes.

Temps half of what they were yesterday. Just about got 15 degs.

And the same again today - Drizzle not quite as heavy though...

[ApOrbital]

I'm sweating like a nun in a cucumber patch.

[Digger]

I'm sweating like a paedo at the school gates. . .








One for the woke crowd.

[Its Just Adz]

Sweating like a scaffolder in a maths exam.

[popeyewhite]

Not sweating at all here in Macc. 26c and sunny most of the day for the first time this year. Managed to catch some sun after lunch so topped up any Vit D deficiency at last.

Lovely cool breeze coming in now the sun has gone down a bit

[towser44]

Gone very cloudy here in Cheshire and spots of rain in garden just now

Was a bit misty here first thing but the afternoon was very pleasant. Sunny, gentle breeze and 20ish.

Next few days seem like more of the same, maybe a bit cooler.

Was out marshaling tonight at Garlogie. Winter jacket back on. Brrr

Fitting smoke detectors this evening was a warm job. It’s been great in West Berks though, feels like proper summer. 3 meals a day eaten outside has been so welcome after last autumn/winter/spring.

So...that was summer then?!
Shorts and sun loungers packed away for another year...FFS!



I hate the UK climate.

[CivicDuties]

Nonsense, still got my shorts on and swimming in an unheated above ground pool every day. It's gonna be around 20 deg C for the foreseeable round here, plenty warm enough. And cool nights, bliss. I love UK summers.

Where are you? It’s glorious in London right now.

[Scabutz]

It's OK here. Bit grey today and not much sun around, but its warm, its not raining cant really grumble. Couple of days ago it was verging on getting too hot.

[UTH]

I've got a half day today to take the Corvette out to meet my Dad and Brother for lunch, so of course the clouds are coming in and the temp is dropping. Oh well, revert back to the "it's not raining at least" attitude.

Where are you in London? Swiss Cottage - cloudy & no sign of sunshine although it should re-appear later this evening.

Tomorrow is looking nice 'n sunny 24C

Getting cloudier by the minute in Surbiton and apparently even tried to rain in Hampshire.
