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.

  • My big fear now is fire because just outside my flat I have woodland and a lot of tall vegetation which was growing very well until recently.  Now it's dried out and dying.  One spark and it could burn down.

    That’s worrying Robert. On the news I saw some people’s homes burning — it must be awful for those people.

    Have you got a fire safety exit plan if the worst happened? Things like making sure your exits are clear and can be unlocked and opened in the dark. Most people will never have to follow such a plan but it’s wise for everyone to be prepared.
