    Has anyone else noticed all of the smaller trees has gone brown, yellow and resemble autumn? They’re also losing leaves, what’s going on? I get that it was hot, but I really don’t want to be seeing signs of autumn in the middle of July!!

     

    20C today. Much more comfortable 

    I've just noticed this on my way back through South Liverpool, trees looking like the start of Autumn

    Whist I don't mind short heat shots I couldn't live in a hot country where its too hot to do anything or sit out in it, what a waste.  I think our climate in the south could be perfect if we could get the sunshine totals up a notch on average....Places in the south east already nearly average 25c temps in summer and dry, a perfect English summers day, nothing like it! 

    I'm the same, I love a nice typical British summers day, warm sunshine, we're it's nice to be out and about. We have a house near Cordoba in Spain, it is far too hot during the summer months, even to pick up a duster you break into a sweat. Too hot to sit out, too hot to be out and about, just sit indoors and watch tv or read, waste of time. He loves it I don't 🤔

    One thing that stands out on these blowtorch days is the late heat. It’s still 37c here at 7pm!!

    When you are told to stay out of the midday heat ie between 11am until 3pm, I don't understand it as when in Spain the main heat builds up about 5pm and its always the hottest part of the day

    Well looking at the mo weekly forecast there seems little widespread thundery activity late tomorrow which i find amazing...must be the dry air..

    Impressive but its the shade temps that matter..😀

    I know, just been out and moved it, but the sun travels round the house everyday 🙄

  5. I talked my other half into going to our house near Cordoba earlier this year, to avoid the high summer temps, only to get caught in a heatwave there in mid April. Thought a nice British summer through July/August here, here it comes again, thank god its only a couple of days. I'm just hoping there's a thunderstorm at the end of it

    A significant number of people won't be.

    It's that simple. And awful.

    I hardly think it is going to make a Day After Tomorrow type movie, yes it is going to be very hot but for 2 days not 2 weeks or 2 months. Stay in the shade drink lots of water

    Yep but Spanish architecture is far better suited to the temps, with clever designs built over hundreds of years. In Cordoba of course you have the Moorish influence which, again is famous for cool inner courtyards often designed around water features. Riads are amazingly cool inside even in super hot temperatures.

    Compared to the brick built houses in the UK, some of them here are furnaces - especially top floor flats.

    1600 people in the UK died in the last much lesser heatwave i.e. excess deaths. Tomorrow morning's Guardian I'm afraid has this about right:

    Our house has a courtyard which gets like furnace as it is enclosed, the house does get very hot, but as I said keep fluids up no exertion, even trying to dust in July and August is a big no no (good excuse to get out of house work) It is going to be hot, but only a couple of days, we'll be ok

  9. I regularly live in Córdoba Spain for long periods and have experienced temperatures of 43plus. Common sense prevails, stay indoors, close windows and curtains, keep intake of fluids up. My mobile phone has always worked, unless I leave it out in the sun. I have sat out in it albeit under a parasol with sunscreen on. From what I can see it is a couple of days, in Córdoba it can be 2 months, think the media is cranking it up
