Feels noticeably warmer this morning than it did yesterday morning.

And, unlike yesterday morning, the sun is out. scared

36 degrees predicted for today.

They've upped tomorrow's prediction to 39 degrees. dontpanic

But, then, dropping, overnight, to just 18 degrees.

A 21 degree drop, in the space of just a few hours. Sly

Pretty darn hot already here.

Rather too humid.

I sent the slave out to get strawberries, ice lollies, toilet rolls etc. He's come back with these candy scented rolls that promise to 'Electrify!' - a promise made in purple calligraphy across the front of the cellophane.

Bit hot.

Currently, 34 degrees here.

Feels quite warm but, so far, not uncomfortably so.

I've put a couple of bottles of water in the freezer, so that, if it gets uncomfortable, I can place them behind my Poundland fans, to act as a makeshift air conditioning unit.

I've also got two USB cooling fans going at it beneath my laptop. box

I couldn't be bothered to put tin foil over my windows. Will I have cause to regret it? scared

32 C (90 F). Scorching.

The Met Office have upgraded tomorrow to a potential 40 °C. bawl

34 C (93 F).

I went out into the garden to get my washing in, and even stepping into the shade outside the back door was like walking into an oven.

I'm now using my home-made air conditioners.

It's working a treat, so far.

My radio is now telling me it's 28°C in here.

hmm

It just doesn't look right with a space between the number and the units. Colbert

A radio can tell you things like that?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jul 18, 2022 5:39 pm

Now 36 degrees in Sheffield.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Mon Jul 18, 2022 5:39 pm

My XHdata D-808 can. smug

I don't know how accurate it is, but it's fine for comparison. I guess.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Mon Jul 18, 2022 6:06 pm

I have been out.

It is hot.

by Nightjar Mon Jul 18, 2022 7:02 pm

Clouded over a bit now.

Temperature's dipped a bit.

The alarm clock that took me through my teens used to do that. It cost a small number of escudos, and in addition to displaying the temperature on the front in a 00.0c formation (outside temp in bold, with inside temp in brackets below), when you banged the top it would announce the temperatures plus the time and date (in Portuguese). It was a great clock. Someone stole it from me when I was at university - I went to set it one night and it was gone. I miss it.

Anyway, I think it's settled into a beautiful evening. I'd be happy with this for about ten months of the year, followed by five to six weeks of autumnal crispness, and two of three weeks of pretty snow, before returning to this.
