I had to drive to London Town Divine on Friday afternoon, in the company van. This is the air conditioning, which in our case we have not got. (It is similarly unequipped with Sat Nav).

Imagine the scene. Hot van, summer in the city, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty, running Google Maps on my iPhone to guide me unerringly to Old Street, when the poxy phone craps out, whingeing about it being too hot. Arse.

Your second paragraph starts of as a promising rap but then deteriorates rather...

Yep, been lovely up here too; might have made 25 in the afternoon. It's ~~grim~~ nice up North.

We've had some dry bits in between the rain showers today - must be summer. It's still overcast and cool, though.

Much quoting of temperature figures. Would be nice to know where they occured.

2100 in Furrybootoon we have just under 18°C outside and 23°C inside.

Kim · « **Reply #115 on:** 07 August, 2020, 09:14:31 pm »

Mild here by London standards (which appear to be slightly short of 'on fire'), with a peak of 30.44C here at around 5pm. It's just cooled down enough to re-colonise Upstairs.

Canardly · « **Reply #116 on:** 07 August, 2020, 09:19:09 pm »

Currently 32 Deg C and a bit boilio. Humidity seems quite high. The Camargue was cooler if memory serves. Going for a ride tomorrow but suspect little sleep tonight. Mmm now 24 apparently. Not V accurate these things are they? Still feels a tad warm btw.

Basil · « **Reply #117 on:** 07 August, 2020, 10:04:04 pm »

Jumper on here.

Jaded · « **Reply #118 on:** 07 August, 2020, 10:47:49 pm »

Yes, we had a strong breeze that shouted "Jumper!"

And the wind cried Jumper

It's still over 27°C in the kitchen which is probably the second coolest room in the house.

Eastbourne fwiw.

quixoticgeek · « **Reply #121 on:** 07 August, 2020, 11:07:20 pm »

So it's been kinda warm here...

It's now midnight, and it's 29.5 in my flat...

Twitter sums it up nicely:

Although outdoors it hit around 32°C in my bit of Suffolk, indoors (under the thatch) never got above 24°. Trouble is, it’s not dropped below 24° either, even now. Sleep would appear to be impossible!

ElyDave · « **Reply #123 on:** 08 August, 2020, 05:58:30 am »

Thermometer on the living room fan is indicating 25 at 0600, and bloody muggy

phantasmagoriana · « **Reply #124 on:** 08 August, 2020, 06:56:15 am »

Distinctly chilly this morning.
