It’s been about 28C here in Leafy Bucks. No rain, one flypast of Red Arrows, quite breezy. Warm enough that my wife proposed dropping down from 9 to 4 tog on the duvet.

With busyness this morning and granddaughters arriving at 5 I had an hour and a half to run from 2:45 to 4:15. The measured temperature was 26 but with solar radiation it felt a lot hotter. I was very slow.

I went out on the Brompton at 1500. My wahoo measured 29° max temp. But there was a very pleasant breeze to cool me.

The downside was I got home, the breeze went and I melted...

The ancient Trek computer on the Perfectly Good Gentleman’s Mountain Bicycle claimed it was 32C in sunny E17 yesterday afternoon but I think it was exaggerating.

It’s too warm for,running. So,of course I decide today is a good time to try and get out and run again! At least I waited,until after 9pm.

Hit 20C on Sat.

Went swimming, with spectacles on.

Didn't apply sunblock.

Now have reverse panda face.

After last evenings brief rain shower, the humidity has fallen from an early 80% to a more bearable 65% and the sky is clearing. And I have the day off courtesy of using up some carried-over leave.

28.8C on Saturday, 30.3C on Sunday. A much more pleasant 23C just now, but expecting more. I was up at 2am this morning and the outside temperature was 18.5C, which is exceptionally warm.

We hit 30° yesterday evening. Main thing though is that it gets down below 20° overnight, which it did.

We're getting to the time of year when there's a choice between stifling at night or opening the windows and being awakened at 5 am as the folk who work in Germany go haring off into the dawn.

34 according to the bike computer; 26 according to the BBC. Who are probably closer.

If the bike computer wasn't in a permanently shaded environment, then its reading is irrelevant as a measure of environmental temperature - if not as a measure of the heating you are experiencing while riding your bike. The BBC is unable to predict that - or anything else meteorological, as they have no met department. They simply contract their met data from MeteoGroup.

Last 3 days: 31, 31, 30, so officially a heatwave. The line between 28 (SE) and 27 (chunk not in SE but not too far N) is somewhere near here and the map on TV was too small to be sure.

23 oop north in Roby. I’m leaking after a short bike ride to the parents.

It was 25C when we arrived home in Furrybootoon at 1530 today. It was warm enough that I sat out on the patio after the sun had disappeared - the patio and the building walls were acting like a giant storage heater.
Hoping for more over the next couple of days as we have a ton of holiday washing to do.

26°C in Enschede today. Was lovely.

Hot weather...oh well it's only a week to endure, then it's back to nicer temperatures.

28 when I arrived in Lewiston ID this arvo but fortunately decided to put the roof of the motor-car up while taking some photos of the æxcellent railway, sorry, railROAD, lift bridge over the Clearwater River. "Fortunately" because it started tipping down three minutes later.

andyoxon · « **Reply #797 on:** 04 September, 2023, 07:13:01 am »

Going to be edging 30C most of the week here now. Scorchio.

T42 · « **Reply #798 on:** 04 September, 2023, 08:01:06 am »

Not scorchio here, only 28° on the slate, but a NE wind to blow you inside out.

rafletcher · « **Reply #799 on:** 04 September, 2023, 11:33:38 am »

Very pleasant here, although the easterly breeze has dropped a bit. Luckily I had today booked off, and when auger in to work tomorrow I’ll be booking Friday and the following Monday off too. Was hoping for a few days break in Lincoln, but not doing that until my left eye vision improves somewhat.
