I went outside around 2pm just to see how hot it was and I have never, even when on holiday in Spain in the depths of summer, felt anything like it, the heat of the sun and the wind, just popped back out a few mins ago and, while still stupid hot, was nothing like a few hours earlier. Also, looking at the trees, the wind seems to have made a marked change in direction now, so fingers crossed we are on the wane………………
