Met Office says it's 35°C outside.
AccuWeather says it's 37°C outside.
Given it's a relatively cool 28°C in my flat, I'm not stepping outside to see who's right.

It's 35°C in the West of England right now.
I might turn on the central heating, should bring the temperature down to about 20...
(This is just the old joke "the kitchen was so cold that I had to open the fridge to warm it up", but reimagined for a planet that's on fire...)

I'm nearly finished with the long, steep wall repair at Intake Farm but it's too hot to go out lifting large stones for the top, which is where I'm at with it.
Thermometer on heat pump says 29.9C and the less accurate plastic thing inside the byre says 25.8C. There's a good cooling breeze. That's hot for this altitude. #Heatwave #Climate

I'd love to start getting marginally excited for Saturday onwards 🌧️
But based on recent predictions, the day before it will change its mind. Surprise! It's actually going to be 30 degrees and more relentless, unbearable sunshine 🥵
Please rain. Please be cloudy 🙏🏻

It's 31°C outside and not getting cooler. This is where my 40kg GSD cross (with her double coat) has decided is the best place to be. You'll note the table behind her is shaded. If she moves 1m back she'll be in that shade.
She's adopted. From Spain but I don't think that's an excuse. She's just weird. She'll come in for a bit soon and then go back out.

It's supposed to be the hottest day of the #heatwave today, possibly 38 or 39 degrees.
Those numbers don't convey the alarm in me that they deserve because I still think in Farenheit. -

Started too hot at 0715.
Got very hot by 0830.
Gone less hot with some cool air 0930.
(but dripping with sheen at the moment)
Could be humidity but feels like dry-heat.

We have at least two new significant wildfires in Wales overnight, the third still going. Again smelling the smoke up in north Wales. Rain forecast for early next week is now not forecast.
Next year, remember, we expect to have something like a 2-3 degrees Celsius increase in heat due to the currently-developing 'ultra' El-Nino, on top of fossil fuel-induced warming.
I fear that this is not being addressed as the existential crisis it represents.
