Hot Hot Hot

[Ray B]

So today is the start of three days of intense heat. We are next to the sea and hopefully will have a bit of a breeze to help, but the sun will be strong.
If you are in the red zone, take care, normal temperatures may return Wednesday

Those your Sisters.?.?

Wot you laughing at? … Screwy’s remarks weren’t funny, they were dam rude and upsetting…I’ve reported him to David for a good spanking...and no you can’t his place.

He'll have a good try though.

You only have to mention the word spanking to Stephen and his trousers are round his knees

That was never proven

We’re just back from a lovely coastal walk.
Lovely breeze.
I reckon Mrs B will hit the G&T ice and slice by about one o’clock
It’s 27c here with a bit of cloud occasionally.
Very pleasant.

[Onelife]

It’s exactly the same here but without the sea views.

[Mervyn and Trish]

27 here too, and rising. 36 threatened tomorrow.

[Manoverboard]

Nice 'n' warm here with an inland off shore breeze ... lubbly jubbly

[Stephen]

Might have to put jumper on Friday

[Ray B]

We topped out at 32.2c about 1430 now 1634 it's 30.3c

[Mervyn and Trish]

29 peak here

[Stephen]

Already 21deg feeling like 24, and rising rapidly.

I had been hearing, on social media and various news channels, a lot of comparisons with 1976 ... usually followed by the word 'snowflake' ... I vaguely remember there being good weather, but couldn't remember anything really special about it. So I went and had a look at global heat maps from 1976 and today ... if anyone thinks there is a comparison between today and 1976 they seriously need to educate themselves.

I am thinking of taking my laptop out to the garden for the next couple of days.

Just hearing on the news that gritters are on standby in case they need to spread sand on melting roads. I wonder how they manage in the Med and even in hotter places, or is our tarmac so substandard?

Your posh. We’ve just had the main road at the end of our road re-surfaced with what I can only describe as shale. Won’t last five minutes.

Facebook is alive with self proclaimed meteorological experts dismissing this as media hype and hysteria. Probably the same virology experts who dismissed Covid and were anti vaccine.

[Bensham33]

34 here in the shade. I ain't going out so no idea what it is in the sun.

[Kendhni]

Early warning, when spell of good weather is over, and the first bit of rain hits, be careful driving ... many roads will be like driving on ice.

I think there is too much media hype and fall into the common sense bracket. There is nothing the media like better than hyping up a news item and frightening people. I wish they would just stick to reporting the news and giving out advice without the need for a special correspondent standing out in the midday sun telling us we are all going to die ( or something like that! )

[Bensham33]

I think the media do a brilliant job in warning people about the dangers of bad weather. Not everyone is super intelligent and they need to be told, constantly how hot it is. If just one life is saved because the media are constantly banging on about how hot it is and how dangerous it could be them it's worth it.

[oldbluefox]

I don't think you need to be super intelligent to know it is hot, nor to sit in the shade, wear sun tan lotion etc etc. We have to accept there will always be those to whom the 'rules' do not apply and it is they who will be clogging up A&R, but why be so dramatic about it?
