LUFCTALK

33 degrees at 1330hrs here in Leicester.
Have battened down the hatches and got the curtains drawn and lounging on my recliner with a long cold drink and a good book. The thought of any hot food is pulling me towards abstinence and pushing me to consider a refreshing salad. Er maybe
Maybe chuck another log on the fire later!

Up to a balmy 37 degrees here

Amazingly, we had a very short rain shower earlier

Mrs SW spotted it in the distance Eggborough direction so probably on way to you, felt about two spots here but nothing really.

My thoughts exactly as a Yorkie I’m not used to these temperatures used to think 20 degrees was warm

A couple of years ago the grandson had a sleep over with us & he can’t sleep without a fan on. We bought him one & it’s been in the attic since until……

Saw EMA got to 36'C today - don't know if that's a record for these parts - but forecast said 38'

Not as bad as I feared to be honest, up a couple of times, but it could have been worse.

35* here at the moment it’s like an oven outside, predicting it’ll hit 40* this afternoon.

37.5 in Leicester but it looks like this is it's peak here (not going any higher) according to the local forecast and will plummet to 23 degrees by midnight
