28 degrees in my classroom at 7.45 am.

I could actually weep.

I’ve got a bloody dog on my lap, how can he not realise it’s too hot for this?

Similar here. Although I am a bit like Goldilocks in that I came in at 7.20 and roamed the classrooms until I found the coolest one to catch up on some work. It's highly likely I will be asked to cover in The Greenhouse classroom later 🥵. I hope we all get a go in the air conditioned ICT suite at some point. What a state, more care and money lavished on a bunch of computers than on small children (by govt funding, not by SLT, of course).

Morning. For some reason this thread isn't showing on the threads I'm on, this morning.

Most odd. Hopefully I've rectified that, now.

Flippin' heck. That's awful for staff and pupils.

Good luck today for those in hot class rooms

The schools here are shut @Saucery @Piggywaspushed I feel very sorry for you and the pupils.

Sounds like a nightmare Saucery and Piggy. I'm grateful that the weather wasn't this hot during the exams for us and the pupils. It's very difficult to concentrate in the heat and tempers do tend to flare up more easily.

Good luck!

Same good wishes from me too

Tomorrow looks a little bit better - lower temps plus rain/thunderstorms for some - and then it's the weekend

Met office says 37 here tomorrow. Beeb says 32. Either way it's going to be bad.

That's why I said 'for some' eg 10 degree temp drop here

Quite an interesting article about the French beginning to accept that schools, hospitals etc may need to have air conditioning Air conditioning creates political divide after France records hottest day https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gyqldl3p5o

Saucey & Piggy really hope it starts to cool down very soon must be really difficult.
cooled down here a bit phone saying 32deg but have a bit of breeze so much more bearable, I suppose with an orderly & drama free transition is better than any sort of frenzied chaos which would have been aided & abetted by the media.

My dds school is closing early today (except for the vulnerable kids)
No word on tomorrow yet.
The kids have been in pe kits

My sitting room is at 25.8 and my most treasured possession is my fan. Even the cat has decided it’s ok to sit near it today. I need to nip to the shop because the stupid humidity made my bread mouldy and I want breakfast, but after that I shall stay pretty much fixed to the spot in front of the fan

💐 to anyone working in a classroom today. I do not miss that in this weather. Not at all.

You may not want to leave the shop @cardibach. My local PO/ convenience shop was blissful yesterday with the aircon going.
We went to the cinema which was also blissful, a welcome three hours of cool air. Saw Disclosure Day which was very enjoyable nonsense.

Yes sympathies with those in schools or anyone having to work through this. I’m just lying on the sofa with the fan going.

I'm trying to decide whether to go for a swim

I have decided.
Sofa, solero and tennis on the tv

Yeah, DS kn Plymouth is dropping to 23.

Very sensible. Sofa, iced lemonade and book here.

Oh dear

Reform UK councillors have introduced a motion to rescind King's Lynn and West Norfolk's climate emergency declaration and deprioritise decarbonisation efforts

The council were going to vote on it on Thursday

But the meeting has been postponed due to extreme heat

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

🤭

It's like the cancellation note for the Psychics meeting being cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.
