Speaking of bizarre temperature distribution, my feet are cold.

Mine are a bit as well! All I am wearing is a pair of loose-fitting shorts. I have an emergency loose shirt nearby as we are expecting an order from WR very soon.

Latest from Wowers' Towers: 34°C outside, 26°C inside.

Yes.  Might be a touch further away than the one in 'stow Central but it's about four times the size and has better bike parking ;D

Train commuters can rest assured that track is free of speed restrictions until rail temperature exceeds 64C. But that's for straight track, it can be lower on curves, at switches and so on.

I've no idea what the temperature is as I don't have an accurate thermometer.  Let's just say its bloody hot.
The drive up from Carmarthen at noon was fine until I got home and opened the car door.
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

It's not a very nice ride up there tho - you probably know some sexy back route on quiet streets.
They're currently filming the Nike World Cup commercial at my workplace, I've never seen it so busy as it was at 07:00 this morning (I've since gone home). Ronaldo is expected to put in an appearance at some point, a couple of his body doubles have already been seen.

Somehow this 1950s faux stone concrete and slate building is at its normal temperatures, 25 in south rooms, -10 in north rooms.
Out side it's well warm, i know not what.

London Overground were running at normal speeds through the underground sections last week in the afternoons, but slowing down to around 10mph once they were back out in the sunshine.

Would they have track laid to NR standards or does TfL have its own?

Parts of it are shared with NR traffic.
I suspect that the standard will be exactly the same for both.

Claremont Road - Priors Croft - N Countess Road - Billet Road to the Crooked Billet roundabout.  Being in the underpass at the Billet was actually quite pleasant today.  Straight back up Billet Road to the top of Larrington Towers Road on the way home coz the hill isn't as steep.

Blimey. You must be suffering in a real heat trap (reflections from windows can do that).

We do not have a thermometer but I 3xpect the courtyard outside of our kitchen is easily close to if not higher than 40oC just now.

Thankfully it's orientation ensures that shade will befall it in the next hour and then it will slowly cool over the next 12 to 18 hours.

It is relatively cool inside and my fan is only on the second of three settings just now.  I am confident that it will not require the highest setting.  It's nearly time to readjust blinds and windows on the east and west sides of the house soon.

Two paving slabs in garden direct onto soil.
In sun: 52C
In shade: 27C
Air temp in shade: 35C

In sun - Bricks next to back door: 49C   (25C indoor wall surface temp, nr backdoor)
In sun - White back door surface: 43C
In shade - indoors surface backdoor temp 27C  (25C indoor air temp)

No real surprises - playing with infrared therm.   ;)

edit.

Plywood on inside of shed roof 61C, indoor shed surfaces 37C.

39.1°C Outside
26.6°C Inside

I think I'm managing a degree (can you see what I did just there?) of control over the indoor temp, given that since noon indoors has gone up 0.4°, whereas outdoors has gone up by ~2.5°C

Ooh, that reminded me we have one of those.

Here, the air is 29°C outside on the SW- facing side of the flat (much sun, fewer trees) and 26.5°C on the NE-facing side (many trees, less sun).

About 23°C inside throughout, which is fine.

50°C on the SW-facing (and extremely yellow) grass outside, but that might be wildly inaccurate because I CBA to go outside and get close to it so am just pointing the thermometer down at it from about 1m above.
