    Early evening all 🙂

    An extraordinary day here in East London. After yesterday's very hot conditions, I was awake just after 5.

    Went down and sat in the garden for an hour - the very early day was fresh, comfortable and surprisingly pleasant.

    As the day has developed, the opposite has become the case - despite windows, doors and shutters closed the house is oppressively hot - even the wooden flooring "feels" warm.

    I reckon we reached 39c on this side of London - the cool early breeze soon disappeared.

    Mrs Stodge dispatched me to the corner shop at 5pm - it's roughly 150 yards each way but it was horrible. I've been to Las Vegas and Singapore and this compared well to those experiences - despite relatively low humidity, it was just "hot" and I was on the shaded side of the street. A difficult 300 yards and I can well understand how some have got into trouble.

    We now await the rain and the uncomfortable rise in humidity before the drop in temperature - tomorrow, windows, doors, shutters flung open to try to get some of the heat out the house. 

    48 hours of this has been an ordeal - what if next time it's 5 days or longer of temperatures above 40c? 

    Time for people to invest in some air con..   I bought one years ago, still runs fine. Cost me £60 second hand, worth £600. - yes a good deal.   And yes elec is expensive atm, but most people are happy to spend £50 or more a month on sky and netflix etc. Just buy an air con machine, its lovely.

    Well it's location dependant. Diss may be cooler than SE london where it is 39 in the shade. personally i would prefer the record is not broken for all sorts of reasons. but mainly medical ones as i have not long come back from my local shops where i had to do cpr on an unfortunate person suffering from the heat

    the shop next door is a chemist; no defibrillator, along the road; a GP surgery; no defibrillator 😞

    glad my 1st aid skills have just, possibly, saved a life 🙂

     

    I was talking about official temperatures, see here:

    37.1 now. 

    Im no fan of the heat btw. 

    But well done for saving someones life 👍👍👍👏👏👏

    Where are you seeing these echos in the north sea?   All I see is a decaying front with breaking up ppn.
