The weather

[mushy]

Don't understand the fuss tbh. People pay to go abroad and sit in this heat for two weeks every year.

The med doesn't normally get this hot, besides when you are by the coast there is often a bit of a cooling breeze and you can always throw yourself in the sea if you get baked.
The two are incomparable.

[westham,eggyandchips]

Windows open or windows closed?

I'm windows closed, drives Mrs Eggs mad.

[Burnley Hammer]

I'm fine. Barely even broke into a sweat.

The trick is... don't move.

Just on my second of three cold lagers, fan on, Muse Hysteria blaring out loud. Cooler temperatures back in Essex tomorrow. Love it

Homes designed to release heat, most with air conditioning. People booking holidays = 2 weeks of sitting by/being in a pool getting on it, wearing shorts etc and not having to work

Incomparable to working here etc.

Feel though for all the locals out in Spain etc who do have to work in this weather EVERY summer

[mushy]

Exactly r99c.
I actually feel sorry for the fire brigade.
What a horrible job they have right now.

I will be standing in the garden, in nothing but a pair of boxershorts, letting the cool, moist nectar of the skies full down on my semi-naked body.

[Up the Junction]

We made the magic 40 after all. I'm 15 miles away from Coningsby.

5 minute thunderstorm earlier. Inadequate.

[Jonah]

Started pissing down as I was watching the game in the garden after work, breeze was finally nice. Off out for a walk in it now.

Can see/hear thunder and lightning along the Kent coast heading this way,get your Speedos on Dl

[Puff Daddy]

To put things into perspective, the sort of heat we had today, is what you would expect in Saudi Arabia

[prophet:marginal]

Rained for about 10 minutes tonight, but it has had a clearing effect on the basic atmosphere. Finally, at 2200, a breeze of some sort!

[kenthammer]

Weather text just arrived "Only" 27-28 degrees tomorrow,how often do we say that

[Chicken Run Supreme]

All rather surreal watching the national news showing my old home of Kent with Dartford Heath ablaze alongside the A2.
Relatively mild up here on the East coast of Scotland at 30 degrees but still bloody hot. Billy Connolly used to say there were only two seasons in Scotland, Winter and August. Global warming has put that to bed.

Or change the narrative to tell the truth?

Truthful media is an oxymoron, although I bet news desks across the land are having to be mopped up due to the massive amounts of spunk let off by hacks.

Lets face it, its two days of high temperatures and then back to normal. It even started raining at 9pm here. How very British.

On the basis that the Saudi has a temperature range of between 25 and 45, you could argue that you could expect last weeks temperatures in Saudi too.

No mate. Just trying to tell a story
