Not looking forward to extreme heat

Homebird

It is just about reaching as hot as I can bear, towards the upper 20s. If we get extreme heat for a few days I get through it by thinking that it will be over soon. At the moment next week is predicted to be around 30 all week and often the prediction gets higher as it gets closer.

I like to be outside at least some of each day, but I am not sure there will be much that is bearable. 

I am hoping they have got it wrong and it reduces sooner than Monday week.

  • I can't imagine how people down south are coping. This afternoon in Glasgow, it is 24° (feels like 26°) and my brain feels as if it has melted in spite of the fact that I am in a darkened room with the fan working overtime.

    We have had some cooler mornings with cloud cover which has been good and I think it is only 28 today, but I suspect it is getting more humid. The only way of getting through it is by hoping for cooler weather sometime and that the next forecasted rain actually comes. I think it has been nearly a month without rain and it feels like I haven't slept well for ages. 

    Spring is normally my favourite month, but April partly felt like summer. I don't particularly like autumn, but this year I am wishing it would come soon.
