So much sunshine over the past 2 months and looks like there's no end in sight. 28C already up here this morning when most summers we're lucky to get over 20C, it's glorious.

Could do with a day or two of rain though as the grass is starting to go very brown but doesn't seem like that's going to happen for at least a week.

1976?

Indeed it was a fantastic summer that year. Mind it was back in the day when it seemed that winters were cold, summer was hot, autumn was cool and spring was mild. You knew what to expect or am I misremembering

No you are right as the generally knew the seasons were more predictable then which one cannot say is the same case now.

You obviously have a memory like a elephant.

I am guessing that 1976 was a vintage year for Love Monkey births.

It was 28c in my office at 7:30 this morning.

Our building as 1 ft thick walls so absorb any heat and radiates it into the building.

Taf · 28-06-2018, 20:59

Our area is a heat island. Apparently due to the surrounding red bricks that catch and release heat. So when the forecasts say 30c we easily get 35c+.

And we have been. And it was OK until today when humidity spiked for some reason.

1976, I remember all the UK newspapers gong on "Phew! What a scorcher!" whilst I was serving with the RAF in Cyprus where it was consistently 10c hotter. And often more.

Just did 10K interval on the treadmill at the gym and had a quick swim. Probably sweated less than I would have in the garden. It’s still 26 out here.

**Paul** · 29-06-2018, 03:07

Its 25.4C where Im sitting right now.

I remember 1976 well, I was at school, and boy was it hot in those classrooms.

Phew! What a scorcher: We've just hit 29C in the shade on the North side of the house. Hoping for a sea breeze to kick in.

There will be no change throughout July l hear in your neck of the woods.

I'm not complaining Den. After the last two so so summers we're quite looking forwards to endless barbecuing.

weenie · 01-07-2018, 13:11

I think this weather is wonderful and hope it stays this way as it makes a change for the kids having their school summer holidays in the sunshine

Hom3r · 01-07-2018, 17:10

It has been 28c in my office at work every morning since Wednesday at 7:30am.

I've been to a car show today and boy was it hot.
