The sun has got his hat on
Hip Hip Hip Hooray....

Well not quite, but come tomorrow and onwards. Models show it hanging on right through the coming week and into the next Shock Potential for storms perhaps later in the modelling period.

Not quite nice for all, especially to start where western areas and Scotland could see much cooler weather. South eastern and central England are currently looking to be the favoured hot spots. Sunday looks to reach mid to high 20's but cooling off a bit on Monday.

It actually looks like the best weather we've had for a few years I think (if you arent about to explode with baby or a hayfever sufferer). Happy days!

The enviroment agency monthly report here shows a positive picture for our water supply for the end of June despite the lower than average rainfall in June.
It will be interesting to see how things are at the end of this month.

I've had my loft hatch open today and upstairs does feel much colder.

My basic scientific knowledge of warm air is that it rises, but someone has tried to blind me with science and tell me that I will just fill the house with warm air. Whatever science says, ds's are much more comfortable in their beds tonight Smile

Schools here break up on Friday. I really hope that we get some good weather during the 6 weeks off.

We are on holiday in north devon & it's lovely. Misty in the mornings but quickly clearing. Had to go in the sea today to cool down! Amazing how fabulous a holiday in this country is when the sun is shining. Everyone is smiling Smile.

Could reach 32C in some southern parts today, esp round the London area.

Sod's law that I'm rather too pregnant for this heatwave :(
I'm working from home rather than use the tube this week.

It is not the temperature but the suffocating, airless, closeness here in the SE. Forecast said "especially sticky in the SE".

No dog walkies possible in the afternoon and even at 6.30, the last few days , I have had to take a spanish fan with me to be able to breathe and little furry dog has been gasping/panting with mouth open and tongue out Sad.
All we need is a fresh breeze, help! It was fine at 6.30 this morningSmile

Been in the cold A/Ced dance hall all morning - it was LOVELY.
Emerged from it at 12pm to a furnace like blast of air from the outer opened doors and now back in my front room at 29 degrees .
Not a breath of air movement outside again, and am too warm indoors without a breeze from open doors.

Going for a kip in my bedroom which is 'only' 25 degrees as no sun through window yet and curtains almost drawn.

Sparkling We're meant to be heading to the seaside August BH week. I'm not even thinking about that one yet!

The last time we camped there, the gales were so strong we returned to the campsite to find our lovely bell tent in a puddle on the ground, and the pole snapped in two! The rest of the campsite was like a disaster area, with nylon tents ripped to shreds and belongings flying around everywhere.
