19 degrees here in Nairobi. People are dressed like it's -40. But quite nice to have a fire roaring in the evening.

Done that...............well I've put a fleece on, and it's now pissing down with rain to go with the cold

I much prefer it like this. Can always put on another layer if needed, but generally warm enough for just a tshirt and jeans.

Could do with rain here, practically none since the end of May.

It was actually milder on the last winter solstice here when it reached 13C. Not showing any signs of getting even that high today yet.

Seems to have been the fourth coldest Summer Solstice for parts of the UK on record - it's hard to believe there have actually been colder so some consolation I suppose.

When I was a student, and still watched cricket, we would braai for the length of a test match.

Yep, a pleasant 18/19C (that's sweltering up here) and sunny all day with a few little fluffy clouds slowly meandering across the sky.

116 degrees when I was in Vegas last week. But it was a dry heat, so that was OK - or so I was told.

Some actual sunshine for the first time in a week today and despite a chilly start feels like summer again, though only 21C!

Posted: **Wed Jun 23, 2021 5:20 pm**

I sit down very gingerly -

It's -1 here

(I shudder to think what Central Otago is sitting on)

Posted: **Wed Jun 23, 2021 7:37 pm**

Bugger me - it's minus 2.5 now and the fog has rolled in.

I'm dieing here

Pretty chilly and bloody miserable again
Glad I'n nowhere near here though

Canada has recorded its highest ever temperature as the country's west and the US Pacific north-west frazzle in an unprecedented heatwave.
Lytton in British Columbia soared to 46.6C (116F) on Sunday, breaking an 84-year-old record, officials said.
A "heat dome" of high pressure parked over the region has set new records in many other areas.
The US and Canada have both warned citizens of "dangerous" heat levels that could persist this week.

Its biblical rain at the moment in S Somerset

Street is like a river, neighbours dashing out with whatever they can use as sand bags.

My drain at back of house had filled up with moss and water was within a couple of inches of getting into house, and that's despite me cleaning it out at 5 pm.

I have to laugh though, sun was out at 3pm and I decided to do a second coat of paint on the garden furniture. All washed down the drain now.

I remember the day I left Phoenix years ago, it was 123 degrees .. & I was walking around the fucking airport carpark, which was just one mass of black asphalt.

It was like walking across lava temperature, flypaper; because my runners were sticking to the asphalt.
