The hottest day record going by by 0.1 of a degree each time reminds of the 1990s when Sergey Bubka used to break the pole vault record by 1cm each time to get a sponsors bonus.

Other than it's gone up by 2.9 degrees so absolutely smashed it.  And I expect when they finally bottom it out they will find another few degrees somewhere else as well.

I work with a Brazilian guy, he always says it not really about the high (or low) temperatures. Its the change in temperature. If its 35 degrees every day then you get used to it and crack on.

If it’s usually 15-25 then it spikes to 40 then it’s chaos as nobody can cope. Same if it’s usually about 0 in winder then it goes to minus 10.

 

That's the issue in this country and why people can't cope. 

1 week it's 13oC and pissing down, next week it's 30oC and everyone piles down the beach, gets sunstroke, then moan how hot it is. 

We don't have any form of adjusting to our temperatures as they are so up and down and erratic.

As one of those working from home fannies, today has been nowhere near as bad as I thought. Got up to 30 in my home office at 4ish, knocked it on the head and sat out in the shade drinking some ice cold cider. Bloody lovely. I feel for anyone doing physical work or having to commute though

Thirty fire engines are dealing with a grass fire on Pea Lane in Upminster
• Twelve fire engines are tackling a fire involving garden fencing and trees on Uxbridge Road in Pinner

Fer christs sake, its not just public transport that you Londoners are spoiled with

THIRTY fire engines for a grass fire in Upminster, Thirty... Thirty thats 30 for one fire. We'd be calling in engines from Warrington Manchester Lancashire and Cheshire to get thirty fire engines for one fire

My apple weather app is saying there’s a 50/50 chance of rain at 18:00 and a steady drop in temp from 20:00 onwards. Should be a more normal temp at bedtime tonight. Just got to survive until the rain comes. 

As it was approaching 18:00 it was saying 76% chance of rain by me. I did feel about 3 drops of rain shortly after but the clouds have gone and the sun is out again.
