So warm, I've put the red wine in the fridge to cool down a bit..
90º+ here in sunny That London. What a massive jump in temperature in just a couple of days.
So hot I'm sitting here stark naked. 🙂
*turns off spycam*
it's been 29-30 here all day,
woburn was warm this morning, stinking of pine sap and sperm trees (honeysuckle), got covered in cuts from
the brambles, stung by the nettles and finally soaked by the big puddles and covered in mud,
pretty much a perfect sunday morning ride 😀
38ºC officially and the car showed 40ºC+ this morning. Hot? Hot my ar5e! MTFU! 😉
Lovely, if rather tropical feeling in the woods as the recent rain evaporated out of the mud.
The over-growth is getting on my nerves tho - rampant bracken grabbed a handlebar and threw me off the bike at one point.
At one stage this afternoon it was 32ºC in Croydon. Luckily many of Croydon's residents can cope with higher temperatures, must be a struggle for any anglo-saxons who get caught out in it though ........generally they put their shorts on, and take their tee shirts off, when it's 10 degrees above freezing.
Blinkin foggy this morning, but hot hot hot now! luvin it 😆
Oh Joy of Joys; I've discovered a Walls Solero in the freezer! 😀
I'll have it after me pizza and Top Gear.
is it a mango one fred ?
gis it, go on 😛
Too hot even in the summery-ist of summer dresses ... shouldn't have cooked a hot dinner - salad would have been a much better idea.
Tis lush! Although rode for 5 hrs today, uber paranoid about tan lines on top half with wedding coming up so covered up top every 30 mins, completely forgot my legs which are now patterned with sunburn from bits that were protected by mud 😀 Plus got stuck down a bridal way which can't have been used in ages cos there was lots of brambles so now my arms look like I've been in a fight with a cat 🙁 love this weather though
mango ones are luuuush
Just louched downtown on me roady to enjoy the evening light on the cathedral - blinkin ek, Glasto is loud this year! Some serious bass and drums rolling over the hills. Reckon it's that Beyonce burd.
14 C here
and thats the best its been all summer
fortunately im off to Spitzerbergen on tuesday - cant be any worse
Went down the beach to find visibility about 30ft (yes really!), could see the mist boiling past. Perfect day 1 mile inland.
Burned off after about an hour but some amazing views of the Purbecks peeping over the sea fog. Spent loads of time in the water with the kids, wetsuits compulsory still though!
its hot day cos its my birthday..... 😉 
Happy birthday!
OK elaine anne - I'll let you have fred's solero
(happy birthday!)
This is nothing, I've just come home from Kandahar where its 44 degrees most days. No mountain biking out there though 🙁
I spose I can sacrifice my Solero, seeing as it's Elaine Anne's birthday. 🙂
Just back from a day in Scarborough, fantastic. Happy Birthday EA.
Ohhhhh I want a solero too 🙁 Ive got a feast in the freezer but just had scampy and chips so now im too full 🙁
cheers guys...just supping a sherry and birthday cake now...lol its almost 10pm and its still god dam too hot...lol 😉
[i]So hot I'm sitting here stark naked.[/i]
bleeerrghhh.
Happy birthday !!
Gf fell asleep in the garden while I was out cycling, my neck's a bit pink, her back is RED! soaking up the aftersun like a sponge. She's got a right pout on. 😆
Plus got stuck down a bridal way
is that where you're getting married?
Too hot even in the summery-ist of summer dresses
Go naked Sue. It's 'For The Win', as they say on tinternets.
bleeerrghhh.
Why is my nudity such an abhorrent thing to people? I mean, Emsz; I'm not like some of the bloaty porkers on here, I'm [i]well buff[/i].
Buff, in the buff.
s'ok elf I've been in my bra and pants since I got back from cycling, had shower, started to get dressed, couldn't be arsed. 😆
What's the point in putting clothes on in this heat?
Had to remember to put some shorts on to water my plants on the balcony though. I don't think my neighbours are deserving of such delights...
'Go naked' ... I'll have you know we have standards here in Wales 🙂
No but seriously, clothes are naught but a hindrance and an annoyance in this heat.
Standards? In Wales?
Are you sure?? 😯
erm decency?
I don't want to see everyones bits and bobs, thanks. Really, I mean there's enough people about who look bad enough dressed. 😆
No fair enough spose you're right.
Last chicken in Tescos. 😐
Awesomely hot down on the Kent coast. Spent the whole day in the water, first at the beach, then in the humongous padding pool with the kids. Normally they are up at five, still sleeping when I left about 20 minutes ago. Knackered and glowing from the sun. Today's looking like it will be even hotter, early finish today and then more of the same this arvo I reckon 🙂

It is indeed warm in That London's Famous City of Westminster. However, the real annoyone comes from my PA, currently on a few days in Spain. She's just emailed to let me know that if it's really urgent I can email her, but that reception is a little weak on the pool terrace....GRRRRRR!
(and before you ask, no, there will not be any pictures!)
[s]Damm[/s] [b]Fantastic[/b] it's hot!
Let's have no complaints about hot weather.
I hate you all.. 👿
Firkin freezing here in NZ. About time you gave us summer back is it not ?
Just got back from 40 mile road ride, yes it's hot, but fantastic!!
We want more heat 😛
Let's have no complaints about [s]hot[/s] warm weather.
😛
almost 30 degrees in london village?
pfffft
Always makes me smile hearing britishists talking about the temperature
We don't know the meaning of 'hot' or 'cold' weather in this country
Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty.
15C and pissing down, soggy cycle home, I'll be thinking of you all with your horrible evil sunshine 🙄
Got back from Cyprus at 4am this morning where its properly hot !!!
was pleasantly surprised by the English weather when we landed, airport temp gauge was reading 18 degrees !
Quite like it when it's blazing hot or freakily cold it's more of a challenge...
We don't know the meaning of 'hot' or 'cold' weather in this country
We do however know the meaning of very changeable weather within a short space of time though. Couple of days ago it was wet, chilly and miserable. Now, it's lovely and warm. Takes a bit of adjustment. Give it a few days of this, and we'll all be better adjusted to it and it won't feel quite as extreme.
Just one weekend ago, I was lying in a tent somewhere in Herefordshire I think it was, fully clothed, in a sleeping bayg, feeling cold. Last night I slept naked without any covers. Big change in a small space of time.
Having visited both Bangladesh and Norway, I understand we do tend to somewhat exaggerate the extremes of temperature we get in Britain, I agree.
The main feature of our weather is unpredictability at any time of year.
Even our changeability isn't impressive compared to some places.
Spearfish [South Dakota] holds the world record for the fastest temperature change. On January 22, 1943 at about 7:30 a.m. MST, the temperature in Spearfish was -20°C. The chinook wind picked up speed rapidly, and [b]two minutes[/b] later the temperature was +7°C
Can't imagine that. You'd be walking along all wrapped up in puffer jackets and then 'aargh christ I'm boiling!' stripping off like a mad thing.
Been pretty humid and muggy all day here.
But it just broke big-style and now we're:
It hit 38ºC in Croydon earlier. Didn't really feel like it though.......must've been the gentle breeze.
Why is it I can cope quite fine with 39'C in Italy or France, yet 29'C in England is VERY UNCOMFORTABLE?!
