35 here in East Sussex.

One of the days when it would be preferable to be in the office with its big thick Victorian walls and air conditioning

Yep. Below freezing, clear blue sky, completely still. That's a perfect day in my book.

Dry heat or humid? Either way, that's proper hot even for South Africa.


A few beers and Gin and Tonic's well help...

A little humid given that it’s not normally this temp.

But think the zero breeze is killer.

Not sure how much longer I’ll be able to post updates

But we need aid .... help

It's pretty humid, not quite Durban humid but it can get close. Today's a bit dryer than usual.

House inside temp (also near Wisley) is 28.5 both upstairs and downstairs reported by the Nest thermostats, humidity @ 41% inside and outside temp of 34.

but I'm in of the office in London with aircon.

Where I live, the summer is usually between 32 and 44 degrees C. Get in the shade, feet in a pool of cold water, drink in the hand. Sorted.

I've spent a decent amount of time in Africa, Australia and SE Asia and never had a problem with the heat. If it's above 15 degrees in the UK I'm fuckin melting :???:

A winter's high of 12 here today in Melbourne.

However, like death and taxes, you can bet your boots that at some point in summer it will hit 40.

Why some people refuse to put a $500 reverse cycle heat / AC pump in their $1 million plus home is beyond me.

Suffer in your jocks, cheap cunts.

If I was loaded, I'd live in the Snowfields during Oz Summers.

But, having said that, at least we have AC here.

England is horrific at anything over 28C
