TIGHTCHOKE Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Well it's all very strange and I suspect it might just be a bottom covering exercise. Way too hot to cook here, so the takeaway option will come in to play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 I think it was 1952 and we had a similar very hot summer when I got severe sunburn. Had one or two very hot summers since then. I suppose these people in the weather business feel they have to issue some reponse to cover their backsides. Lot of good hay been made this last ten days. WARNING WARNING we are due a VERY cold winter and some heavy snow. I only say that as I have been around long enough to know we get one about every12 to 15 years starting for me in 1947 then a good one around 1963 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) We got air conditioning installed a couple of years ago just in the bedrooms. My OH was very dubious because we had it done in about February when you can get really good deals but she was unconvinced at the time. thought it a waste of money My god its been worth it Apart from the electricity meter wheel spinning round like a spitfire propeller Edited July 19, 2021 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Well I am finding it too warm. But it’s helping the water training with the spaniel. Though as an after thought I should have warned Mrs Agriv8 that pip may launch into the canal after the ducks ! Which she did while still on the lead Mrs Agriv8 nearly ended up in the canal as well ! oops ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 We sure have lots of ways of making our country a laughing stock. My advice to the met office is get your forecasting better and forget about weather warnings as no one changes any of their plans because of them. 30 degrees is simply a warm day in three quarters of the world and anything under 38-40 is perfectly normal. Anyone been to Australia and enjoyed a BBQ at midnight in 37 degrees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those folk in Germany where the floods were would probably have appreciated some warning. I expect that has some influence on it. I have been to Australia and have been in 45+ temps but no I have never really enjoyed anything at 37C (other than a pasty at that temperature) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect that has some influence on it. The German government received ample flood warnings from weather scientists, in some cases as much as 5 days prior, including exactly which rivers were most at risk and exactly which towns. No one knows why they didn't act on the information. All of which is a bit different from blathering on with yellow warnings etc which everyone over the age of 5 ignores on the grounds that they've seen rain or wind or frost or whatever before.

There are some really toxic bugs in the water because the "new generation" boat owners are dumping sewage to avoid having to pay to pump out thier toilets at sanitary stations Used to run my dinghy up and down the canal testing outboards.

I love this weather and they can call it what they like , as long as they don't say the over 70s have got to self isolate and stay indoors until it cool down .

ShootingEgg Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 It def feels hotter. I'm pretty much in the middle of the orange blob, and out this evening in the high seat I was dripping.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Warning ⚠️ British summer time may contain fleeting spells of hot weather. Expect sweaty balls, chubby pasty girls in ever so slightly too revealing shorts and bald men with sunburnt heads. Keep drinking lots of fluids and make the most of it. Don't panic normal miserable weather will be resumed shortly. Having worked outside my whole life and this winter worked in snow, rain and frost from October until May I personally am enjoying a but of lovely warm weather! We could do with removing a few of the Warning labels and letting nature take its course. Darwin awards winners will strive for excellence regardless!

Hello, same as the Cameroon government, I believe we had a 2 week window from what the forecasters had told them, enough to bring in the Army and try to get flood defences up, nothing done and severe flooding , even places along the Thames that usually escape previous flooding were caught out, governments do not care !!!

JohnfromUK Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 I don't have the figures to prove it, but here (which is nicely inside the Amber Warning area), it is hot, but not exceptionally so. It is fairly humid, and not a breath of wind which doesn't help. Certainly not seeming as hot as various previous occasions I can remember.
