I did feel about 3 drops of rain shortly after but the clouds have gone and the sun is out again. Yep, haven’t seen a single spot at all. I hope it’s on it’s way.

Xela Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Very uncomfortable working at home today. Glad its cooling tomorrow as got loads of work to do! Hardly got anything done the last 2 days. No fun writing reports when you are sweating! I rescheduled all my zoom calls for later this week as well. The hardest part for me is not having any outdoor space at my apartment, so its like i'm trapped. Now 95% of the year, it's fine, but I do need to get this place sold and get a little cottage somewhere rural with my own garden. I was hoping this year but various reasons meant that hasn't been possible. I do actually like the warm weather, but its got to be on my terms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted July 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2022 Big old rumbles of thunder out in west London just now. If it starts to chuck it down I’m getting the deckchair out and sitting in it for a bit to cool off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 I thought it was reasonably bearable today. Not as bad as I thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I love the heat, Valley of the Kings was 45-50 degrees. The difference is trying to work in it, my brain is mush and my patience is thinner than normal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted July 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2022 To me, yesterday was obviously very warm, but if I hadn’t seen the weather warnings, I wouldn’t have thought anything beyond “Hmm today was quite hot”. Today, however, it was like walking through a continuous wall of heat, can’t recall experiencing that in this country before. I’ve been painting in a house near me, literally a minute walk away. Taking a drink bottle with me about 1pm, put half a dozen ice cubes in the drink. By the time I reach the house, the ice cubes have melted and they’re a tenth of their original size, if that.

I understand that, but I was led to believe it would be hotter than the sun. I had a fan on and was ok. Also, it was the hottest day on record in this country. Which it was, it was very hot. Not the hottest I have been, so mileage as they say, might vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving air can make you feel cooler by increasing the rate of evaporation of sweat. If you want to lower the temperature of the air you need an air conditioner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
