Monday brings a heatwave

[Beverley]

I'm actually doing alright so far. My house is quite cool inside. Huge trees in the garden block out the worst of the sun. I'm enjoying a homemade strawberry fizz.

 

[Soldi]

It’s 35c here now, just about comfortable enough to sit outside in a shaded garden.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Yeah my house is fairly cool. I've covered up the back windows.

I gave ice to cat which confused him. I don't think he'd met ice before.

I keep popping out for 2 to 3 minutes, just to actually enjoy it.

 

[big ron]

Its FREEZING in my basement. I might start renting it out by the hour

1) Is there wi-fi down there
2) Can I have it free if I work nude

 

[Kratz]

1) Is there wi-fi down there

Surely we are all nude right now?

 

[GNL]

34 now. I’ve got my feet in the paddling pool and the water is warm.

If it's also yellow you might have made a mistake.

Won't all of your houseplants die?

 

[octophone]

HOT TIP. Freeze a cucumber and BUNG IT up your HOLE before bed to cool yourself from WITHIN.

That's your answer to everything.

 

[Indie]

Currently 35c.

I am MAFTING.

 

[Kate]

I've now got a frozen towel round my shoulders, which is doing a good job. Let's see how long it lasts.

 

[Ellie]

Left home at 7am today to avoid the heat and stay in an air-conditioned office all day. Now making my way to an air-conditioned bar and cinema until evening. No idea what to do tomorrow.

 

[Apoca]

I went for a swim in a 20°C mountain lake, so I feel THOROUGHLY refreshed.

 

[big ron]

1) Is there wi-fi down there
2) Can I have it free if I work nude

Yes x 2

 

[big ron]

Won't all of your houseplants die?

It really is the perfect basement for such behaviour but I’ve not taken advantage of that yet.

 

[big ron]

Just blown a paddling pool up outside and I think I’m having a stroke

 

[Indie]

It's going to be 22c overnight. That's like a NICE SUMMER DAY

Maybe i'll hit a beer garden at 4am.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I think my cucumber is cold enough now.

 

[Star]

37.5 just now driving home. I can't be outside for long but it's fine inside

 

[Beverley]

we've hit 37 too

 

[ButterTart]

That's your answer to everything.

It’s why he was fired from that bereavement counselling hotline.

 

[Rita]

I feel a tad SOZZLED truth be told.

 

[floppet]

I put the car's aircon full on when I left work and had to turn it off before I'd gone 100 yards because it was just pumping hotter air into the car and I couldn't bear it long enough for the cold to kick in so I just rolled both the windows down and enjoyed being whipped in the face by my own hair on the dual-carriageway.

 

[AlgoAlex]

A very pleasant 26C, sunny and refreshing breeze on the glamour of my Brittany Ferries crossing.

 

[Lucille]

I’ll be fuming if we have to deal with 39 degrees tomorrow but it doesn’t crack 40.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Surely we are all nude right now?

 

[lolly]

NOT DEAD YET, LOVES

 

[lolly]

Mind you, I'm only just getting on the bus home, and it's disgusting. I purposely stayed at work an extra hour just so the bus may be slightly more tolerable. Dread to think what it was like at 5pm - 6pm.

 

[lolly]

According to the local press, Bristol peaked at 35.3° today, beating our previous highest recorded temperature of 34.7° in 2006.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I think that somwhere in Suffolk is no. 1 on the maximum recorded temperature shart thus far in England.

 

[Marina Salty]

Has the UK record for heat been broken today?

 

[Soldi]

Has the UK record for heat been broken today?

Not today, but it’ll go tomorrow.

I havent had working aircon in a car for years, after getting used to it in ibiza here is usually a doddle

 

[Rachey]

I don't know how you 35+ degree people are coping. I nearly died earlier in 30 degrees. I sat under a big weeping willow in my mum's garden.

What did Mandy think about THAT?

 

[lolly]

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I think I'm the hottest I've been all day. Everything is stuck to everything.

 

[straightorbroken]

Having a cold dinner. I feel like a tea biscuit that has been dunked and left to float in an expanded, lifeless state.

 

[big ron]

My basement is lovely. Thinking about moving down there

 

[Rachey]

What did Mandy think about THAT?

She was fine because it meant I wasn't bothering her
