Thank you - it's not going to be as bad here as it is further west (Slough, for example, has 38/39/37 on the MetO raw for Tues-Thu, compared to 37/34/35 here), but either way it looks intolerable, especially with minima around 20C. I wish teleporters were a thing, I'd be up in Scotland in a flash! It's going to be an endurance test for those of us "down south" and I suspect even some of the heat fans will have had enough by the weekend.

Talking of the weekend, here on a Sunday morning it's a stuffy 17.8, dew 16.8, under clear skies. There's no wind, and the overnight low was just 17.7. Yesterday's high was 27.6.

18.3c low 15.4c

1023.4mb rising

Wish mine was as cool! It's already 27C upstairs, 23 or 24 downstairs... 

19.6, dew 18.8, with the solstice sun beating down here. In theory it's going to top out in the mid 20s, but that assumes the sea breeze actually arrives! It's still dead calm out there.

A bit cooler last night with a min of 11.5c. 

Low of 13c, so quite comfortable

Finally managed/decided I best swap out the temp/humidity sensor on my VP2 this morning and corrected all the erroneous records beaten in May when the humidity was sat at 100%. Apparent temp record is no longer 53c lol.

Was that really 28.9 at 9.30am?

Certainly was. Has now hovered around that all day so far.

24c would have been wonderful tbh, peaked at 30.8c, currently 29.1c. Seriously bored puppy has been mostly housebound today, I wonder if the dog walkers will cancel this week at all... wouldn't blame them.

Yes, I had an email from the owner of the wolf centre (at Beenham, so only 3 miles away from you) earlier - she was saying how hot it was there, and it's no surprise considering it was 29.8C at Reading University. I'm not sure she realises just how hot it's going to get from Tuesday onwards... I hope it doesn't affect the 15-year-old wolves too badly.

I'm dreading Tuesday, which shows 36C on the MetO raw and 35C on the GFS. It'd be far too hot to walk my pup (16 months old now) and I suspect he'll be spending a good deal of time curled up on his cooling mat in the living room! I can almost hear my puppy trainer telling me to use lickimats, snuffle mats, short training sessions, "hunt the cheese" and other distractions. There's only so much of those you can do in a day though!

It's now 21.1 here and though it'll be a warm night there should be a breeze. One more pleasant day tomorrow - probably the last long dog walk for quite a while - then it's time to hunker down. At least I have that luxury of a near-normal day tomorrow, further west there's little relief until (perhaps) Saturday...

21.8c max.30.2c

It’s currently 21.7c and feels very soupy. The house is really hot and it’s not even started yet

Thanks f^*+ for air con
