My cat is refusing to go out. Bloody snowflake 😉

My (male) cat is pretending he's the freaking lion king of the urban jungle and is taking a nap... in the attic. Hottest part of the house. 🙄

While my (female) cat is downstairs in her nice cool cardboard house.

Total madness .. I’d normally be more prepared though … I quite like it warm

My dog just looked at me as if to say what the fuck is this nonsense?!

You’ve not been putting it through the Tory leadership debates have you ?

Dark grey skies and light rain in sth Devon and cooling breeze. Not a brag, I hope you all get it and soon

Lucky you. Let’s hope it passes through the rest of the south coast.

Latest observation is 39c here!!!! Getting very close to the 40c very quickly!!!

Couple of stations nearby already reporting 40c!!!

According to iPhone weather it looks like the temperature has peaked where I am but it won’t feel any cooler as the sun will be beating down on the flat all afternoon.

Teasing me … that’s as close as it gets as it swirls away

Nearly there … isn’t this a good time to get that cooler thing going ? 

[Alvoram]

Nearly at that magic 40... 2 out of my 4 closest stations reading 40! (I live where the arrow points) 

In some weird way I really want them all to read 40, actually looking forward to it!🙈 Think I'll lose interest once that happens. 

[dotdash79]

Well that’s 40

 

[Alvoram]

Just one more... Come on, you literally live a few hundred yards from each other...

40 is really very bloody hot. Undeniably so. The hottest temp i've ever personally experienced was 46 in Melbourne when i lived there a few years back - i worked in a call centre at the time, so that was air conned, and i lived above a pub which was part air con - and i took a slightly circuitous walk to work that went through three shopping centres with notably nippy aircon to try and make the walk to work as decent as it can be. It built up over a few days - 40, 42, 42, 45, and then 46 - and then it broke in an absolutely glorious hour just as i finished work, and it went down about 15 degrees really quickly - people were just stood in the streets basking in the cooling breeze, it was blissful being back down in the early 30's 😊 but it wasnt so bad with the buildup and the break, i thought it was manageable. I look at desert climes like Dubai or Qatar and its just the sheer relentlessness of a month of 40+ days, and i think bleh. No chance!

The irony of this thread being 'hot' with 289 replies 😄

I think the key here is 'air con' all of the places being talked about having these sort of temps are used to it and as such have provisions for it.

The BBC interviewed people in London yesterday and one English lady said she now lives in the US but was back here on holiday, and she and her daughter were laughing at the hysteria around it, well I wonder how she would cope in the US with no air con on planes, airports, cars, houses, offices etc!

The worrying trend for me is now places like here are now getting those sort of temps on a regular basis, we've just had the UK record temp broken twice in one day....is that not concerning?!

The r word has arrived … temp still at 29 but dropping off now 

[gazzared]

A pleasant 22 degrees on shell Island now 👍I think that's it for here now and temps are due to keep falling 👏👏👏

Just popped out to the supermarket and holymoly it really is hot. There's a breeze but it's hot, like a hair dryer. Supermarket was nice and cold though.

Mythos is a top tier lager.

Combine with a Greek salad and a Gyros for ultimate satisfaction. 

my local Bargain Booze has some of that but haven't tried it - will take your recommendation and give it a go!
