It's not going to be anywhere near those temperatures round here but I still bet it'll be taps aff.

Deliberate slip, taps for tops?

Only 30°C forecast today and there's a decent NE wind so we're not bothering with coolth-retention procedures. Druther have fresh O2 @ 30° than re-breathed @ 27°.

Accent. I'm in The North.

Up here, we even have a helpful website for it: https://www.taps-aff.co.uk/

Pretty much as warm here today as it was in Belgium last week, which is nice, but odd.

Whereas south of Watford, it means a hosepipe ban.

I'm going walking tomorrow. I hope to finish with a dip in Hathersage Lido. That's if I can bag a cancelled reservation.

I'm strongly considering working in the office for an extra day this week. The idea of air-conditioning appeals.

[quixoticgeek]

I've told my team to work from home if they wish if it's cooler at home. But mostly as I don't want them walking to the office in the midday heat.

Next door's just back from Spain and looking forward to cooling down! 25 C atm; 29 C yesterday. Still a couple of hours to get warm.

[Mrs Pingu]

It's so hot that when I went to Screwfix earlier I ditched my plan to visit the nearby garden centre I have not yet investigated on the basis it's too hot for digging holes.

[rogerzilla]

Apparently the aircon is turned off at work.  In a big glass building with sealed windows.  Well, stuff that.

As those who have met me may have noticed, I carry a Lot of "Built in Insulation". I'm the "Fat bloke behind the fat lad at the back". I also have, as a result of BRANE DAMMIDGE, a knackered Pituitary gland, Diabetes Insipidus. I can't hold water in cos' lack of Hormone production.
26 C is too Hot for me to be outside, unless there's a cooling breeze.
Yestiddy, 26 C, I had to get outside, couldn't walk, too hot to cycle.
Enter "Jasper". 1979 Motobecane Mobylette 40T. (Jasper because it's Blue, a moped and quite Funky). Created a nice, effortless breeze all the way to Sprogs house, about 3 miles. Did KOFFIE, went to the shop and set off home. I went the scenic route, 8 miles instead of 3, and even at such a low speed there were Bugs in m' teeth.

The delayed 14:49 from Carlisle to Euston has non-functioning AC in some carriages. But coach A is fine.

[Mr Larrington]

I don’t know how it started but there was a fire in the gardens behind a block of flats near here with flames about 10’ high.  If this was someone having a bonfire then they’re probably a dick.

[andrewc]

It's 20:43 in Liverpool.  The electric weather thing on my desk is saying 31°C , inside.....    I'm sticking the vin rouge in the fridge !


My mother has bought a 200L water butt for the garden.  She's going to fill it up with a hosepipe, then water the garden with a watering can.... apparently this will evade any hosepipe bans.. 

[Cudzoziemiec]

Almost certainly cooler outside at this time, I'd have thought.

Which is why I’m on my balcony, slumped in a Helinox, in my boxers.   A glass of red to hand & a history of 20th century Berlin to amuse me.

[andrewc]

Some (don’t) like it hot….

Some part of the lock in the front door heat expanded more than another part so I could not lock the front door when I wanted to.  After the sun went down I locked up.

You are truly living the good life. I am not being sarcastic.

[Mr Larrington]

The one consolation about having to drive a van from Debden to Dorchester and back on Sunday is that it’s apparently a fair bit cooler that far west

Edit: Don’t have to do it after all

[Jaded]

Meanwhile, way up North, additional layers have been required in what is quite normal temperature for summer…

We do sometimes fill the water butts from a hose. And then fill the watering can. I don't think it makes us use any more water, but saves trekking through the house with the can (kitchen at front of house and no outside tap).
We are now in a regime of washing up water on the garden, and I made a bath bailer by cutting down an empty 5l container.

[rogerzilla]

You can still use a hosepipe to siphon bathwater, I think.  Only works well if the bath is upstairs, obv.
