Take care in the heat!

[The General]

The kids paddling home has taken a hammering the last couple of weeks. Longest spell I've ever had it out for. Already on my third re-fill as they soon get grubby!

Noon and it's 36.6 in the garden.

Yesterday it was 35.2 at noon and the the peak of 37.5 was hit about 4pm

All time record for my back garden reached 38.9 around 2pm today's, now a cool 37.2

Seeing the scenes on the news... frightening.

I work in hornchurch and can see the smoke from thd fires in rainham. Scary stuff

 

[WhiteNoise]

I’m currently in west London with work and a few fires can be seen. Climate change is no joke

 

[Tinks]

I have had a couple of horrid days to be honest
Had a lot of home visits to do and although i have aircon in the car by the time it comes through i have reached my destination.
The amount of people including small children i have seen out and about without hats/head protection.
I have dealt with two cases of heat stroke already!!!!!!!!

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Considered installing aircon? This lovely weather is likely to be happening more and more going forward

Fans are much better for you & the enviroment,

One is much more effective though

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

One is much more effective though

That's a matter of opinion (not mine certainly).FWIW we have ceiling fans in place in most rooms in the house (including the study where I'm writing this).The only room where we have a portable air-con unit is in the main bedroom (on my side).That's because my wife, as a true child of the Midi), copes with the summer heat much better tnan I do.

I was actually thinking today when the last time we had rain in Leigh.... It's got to be a couple of months now......

We need a bit of rain..... I'd never thought I'd say that.

Nothing forecast for the next week at present?.

Nope, nothing. Everything is so dry, we'll end up with more fires if this carries on.

My grass looks dead.

No nothing I don't beleive, if it did, it wasn't for long or hard because I'm a very light sleeper and don't miss a trick.

You've just answered a thought i've had in my head for a few days "why are the cars in Leigh so dirty". I didn't hear it myself, and by looking at the state of the cars, it wasn't rain at all. Very strange, Global Warming anyone!!!

No the dust comes from the chem trails. You only have to look up in the sky to see them.

Emirate Airlines probably Matt. Makes room for more oil storage in the desert. I do wish they'd stop as my car was covered in sand. Good job cows can't fly.
