Sorry to hear that. Hope things get better with this cooler weather. (BTW ... £65 for a quiet proper aircon unit is stellar deal...)

As others have recommended I've got an old (10 years+ ?) portable aircon unit. I use it very occasionally in my little office as when we have temps like yesterday as it becomes unbearable with all the computer monitors acting like heaters. At such times it can be a godsend. You might want to think about one - they're not that expensive, from about £250 upwards (last time I looked), depending on features and how quiet you want it to be. It might be worth looking at a few in a shop as you might want to judge the weight (mine is heavy and the weight distribution is odd) and hose length practicality etc etc.

That wouldn't surprise me - especially if you also heard Ming the Merciless laughing as well...

Now raining hard, temp max has been 36.9 in my bit of Croydon (Addiscombe)

Still 36.7c here in Croydon but big bank of cloud forming in the south and west and heading our way

Hi everyone - long time lurker, thought I should post as well as lurk! I'm in Croydon and I've currently got 36.6 on my Davis Vantage. Phew!

Currently 31.8C. This morning completely still and cloudless. Pressure now falling, wind picking up a tad and some cloud forming in the south...
