Been pretty good this year, enough rain at the right time for the farmers, bit of heat now is just what we need to boost the British seaside.

Not much of a British feel of a few seasides in Kent which are full of illegals making them third world township ghettoes. Hopefully the new PM will once and for all put in a rock solid processing system ie armed forces patrolling the channel!

Loving this weather.

I remember the summer of 76 well and enjoyed it but I must be getting old as don't like this kind of heat now (it was 29c at 9pm when I started my night shift yesterday). Ok where I am if we get a sea breeze out the front but back garden is like a sauna and our poor dog doesn't like it much either. Still, better than it being miserable and drizzly I suppose

Have been on hols this past two weeks or so...mostly wild camping around the county of Wexford. Great camping weather for sure.
Back in work on Monday......where over here may go above 30'C, which is extremely hot for Dublin....My work place allows no open windows for obvious reasons and with the vents and other medical devices running pushes the indoor temp up to about 40'C......no air condition where I work.
In fact just before I went on hols I made a list of the radiators still screaming full on...FFS...bet they will still be on when I return.......

I remember the old BBC weather forecast maps with Michael Fish who used them sticky round magnetic numbers that were orange with the the temperature numbers on em



Now the the BBC weather map is a glowing mass of red fire like the world is coming to an end.

You wouldn’t want Fish babysitting your kids!

A red warning for extreme heat has been issued for the first time for England on Monday and Tuesday, when temperatures could reach 40C for the first time.
These are not normal temperatures.......many machines are not designed to operate in extreme heat conditions. Also a drought can happen in winter when temps are low...so it is not in this case about drought but rather the increase in heat at extremely high temps.....
I remember the summer of 1976....it was long warm and dry...but we never went over 30'C here in Ireland..
Over 60's years of age and the human body doesn't regulate temp as efficiently as someone in there twenties.

Curtains drawn, fan on time ....and walking the dog and watering the garden at either 9pm or 6am.
