Methuselah

We thought that when 100F was exceeded in 2019 ... and again in 2020, '21 and '22.

You must be, but then, I must be missing it too! I'm kind of sure I remember London being only 12C back in July 1980.

Aye, H, it's been effing 'orrible!

And a good job, too! It's 20C here, today, and I'm nae moaning; my flat is cooling nicely.

What a lovely morning; usable rain!

This week's Ten-Day Trend:

Good grief: today's temperature looks unlikely to exceed 80F. Never mind, we're only THREE DAYS in!

I'm sure it'll happen. The fact that I'll be six-foot-under matters not!

That looks like one of those mystery photographs they used to show on Ask The Family! I'm glad the bettyswollocksness of yesterday has gone. It was vile!

We had umpteen thunderstorms in August 2012, as it takes a fresh west or southwest wind to overcome the sea breeze.

I'm looking forward to a couple of weeks of cyclonic weather: cold air aloft plus sunshine and ridiculously warm SSTs, is a good recipe for storms?

I take no notice of anyone or anything. Least of all, you!

I do and have done, for many years. But that doesn't mean I should enjoy it ... Betty Swollocks means Betty Swollocks?

You just don't get it, do you? So, why don't you tell us why we shouldn't be sticky with sweat: even though we are?

Yes, really; we are not used to the Singaporean climate.

Yesterday?

Well, I, for one, will welcome that, John: a couple of weeks' unsettled weather will be most welcome: the prospect of another round of spiralling food prices really doesn't appeal.

It's horrible, isn't it; only one more night of all things betty swollocks?

It's a scrying shame!

There are rather a lot of silly references to 2012 around just now; it's all very reminiscent of every summer since 2012!

Even Glasto has its knockers?

Chertsey International Airport, yesterday?

I could see the tops of the thunderheads when on my way back from Lidl!

Today's Met. Office forecast for the weekend -- 33C on Sunday: The days when 32C was a once-in-a-blue-moon anomaly have long gone!
