Although less extreme it seems similiar in feel to the heatwave in PNW and Canada. No breeze and a real pressure cooker feel. Did this air mass originate from there?
That thought actually did cross my mind a few times. I do wonder is this due in part to some residual, left over warmth from that region of the world that inevitably made its way over here? Interesting idea to consider.
Lionel, I suppose how we view this weather is subjective, but I just cannot stand too much heat. The sunshine, which I am normally never to pushed about, has been most welcome after a very dull first half of the season, but this sunshine with temps a good 10c lower -ie, average! would have been far more enjoyable to me.
And you are lucky to have a beach nearby!
