My weather station Monday recorded 96.6 deg f

In Bradford yesterday temperature was 28celsius today its 20,it was unbearable yesterday

32 degrees in my garden at 3:00 pm today. The rumour is that it might go a degree higher tomorrow.

Last night was the hottest that I can ever remember for trying to sleep. With all the upstairs windows and two fans running, I ended up sleeping on a camping airbed on the kitchen laminate flooring with the back door open!

It was totally oppressive like never before.

Still hot when I got up this morning drove 50 miles north and the temperature dropped 10 degrees not had the air con on all day.

Drove back south and its cool here now as well.

Off subject, but my wired-digital thermometer gives me 2 readings as there are 2 sensors. Inside my fridge about 0-4c and 20-24c ambient outside. I turn up the fridge temperature control knob up to max [5] when its really hot outside and make sure the kitchen windows are open.

The forecast up here is overcast for the rest of the week,20degrees tomorrow,dropping to 17thursday and 15 friday

Here in West Somerset need to wait until overnight Wednesday into Thursday for cooler weather and our room thermostat has been showing 28C for the last few hours. Will be out with the dog before 6:00 tomorrow morning, as I was today.

Aye, and my trusty strand of seaweed nailed outside the backdoor has practically shrivelled up , shall have to go to Bamburgh beach tomorrow to find a new bit ;o}}

What would we do if we didn't have our weather to talk about? When I first started to travel to the Far East on business, I used to start morning meetings by saying what a lovely day it was today.

After a few days, my client took me aside, and told me that the locals couldn't understand why I did it when almost all the days were like that. Perhaps in time we'll get used to having June heat-waves, and stop going on about the heat - it is predicted that we're going to get more and more of this each year.

Nice coolish day here in Norwich yesterday after a stifling weekend and similar forecast for today. Weather forecast on BBC Breakfast this morning saying 23C in Norwich 34C in London. Glad I don't live in London any more.
