i do hope not, but the heat has been incredible for the UK. I've literally sat in front of a full blast fan all day.
Need a shower. I'm all Betty Swallocks.

There was a fair few clouds in Cheltenham today whereas yesterday it was 100% blue sky.
More muggy today but for me yesterday was a couple of degrees warmer. |

Yesterday’s record-breaking heatwave in Southern England was a certain sign of End Times – as the BBC acknowledged on Newsnight by wheeling on a climate scientist to explain how totally doomed we all are thanks to our selfishness, greed and refusal to amend our lifestyles.
But before you all go and top yourselves, Paul Homewood has some cheering news. In the context of the temperatures Britain experienced in the much more widespread heatwave of August 1990, yesterday’s “hottest July day ever” – based on the 36.7 C recording from just one spot: Heathrow airport – was really nothing special. This Met Office hourly data chart, showing the maximum temperatures recorded in the two respective years, tells you all you need to know. Max Temp C 1990 2015 Cheltenham 37.1 32.1 Cambridge 36.5 30.3 South Farnborough 36.2 32.1 Hawarden 35.2 27.2 Newport (Shrops) 34.8 28.7 Sutton Bonnington 34.8 33.2 Cardiff 33.1 23.2 Bidston 31.4 27.0 Sheffield 34.3 33.2 Prestatyn 32.4 26.4 Eastbourne 32.6 31.5 Tynemouth 31.9 27.6 Skegness 32.4 26.9 Leuchars 30.8 17.5 |

In hot countries its 36degrees at breakfast and theyre not all dropping dead.
In the UK if you die at 36 degrees or -2 then you must have been close to being put out to graze anyway... |

The large majority of deaths are the old and sick, the reason that extreme in temps cause so many deaths in this country is that we pump people full of pills to keep them alive whereas years ago they would have kicked the bucket naturally.

I wonder if today's weather cost any lives?
It certainly did here. Me and my trusty electrical tennis 'bug' racket, have got rid of two waps, loads little flying bastards in the lounge, and a few dragonflies while I was having lunch. |
