We seem to have had extremes with not a lot in between, either drizzly, grey and miserable (near the coast and we've had a lot of sea fret too) absolutely tipping it down and blowing a hoolie or 25+ roasting in the sun.
I love the sun but unfortunately it doesn't like me much any more and I suffer for it, hats and factor 50 don't seem to do much and I feel unwell if I'm in it too long, I tend to stay at home on days like today where it's 26, and go in the garden intermittently and do a bit or sit for a bit and enjoy it but I know if I don't get out of it and cool down I'll suffer.
I do see evidence all around though that it's just as damaging as flooding or high winds in its own way because crops are suffering, even the weeds are struggling on some local footpaths and grazing is already being supplemented by farmers near us with hay for the animals because the grass is parched, and of course the hay being used this early combined with a low yield because it's struggling is not good.
There's also been a local moorland fire, apparently caused by some idiot with a BBQ, it's about 25 miles away but last night we had pungent smelling and visible smoke, meaning windows had to be closed, and it's torn through woodland and moorland and although I think under control now, still going two days later, the moorland is so dry it goes up like a tinder box.
ETA - actually there's 2 fires, but the one closer to me is 5km squared with 20 fire appliances in attendance and is wiping out rare habitats, there's no farms or homes in danger at the moment but with the entire moor being so dry because of lack of recent rain and high temperatures they're fighting to keep it from spreading.
