Yes, surprised to see two weeks' sunny weather forecast, but not as hot.

That sounds cool (& I mean "cool" literally). Funny to think of those temperatures as manageable, normally they would be considered hot. I'll settle for that though after what we've been through. In less than two weeks I'll be in North Devon, what's the betting it will be raining every day  :)?

We’re only getting a shower, if that.

Please stop boasting.

Here (in Lot-et-Garonne) no cloud has been seen for many days and yesterday the temperature was 36 degrees. It could be higher today and it is accompanied by relatively high levels of humidity.

I thought of you when watching the weather forecasts for Europe this week. We didn't get the rain in the end but it is cooler today. and by the end of next week the temperatures are supposed to be something called 'average'.

One of my kids was in Paris during the last heatwave when the weather was 40 degrees. Her muppet teacher had them performing outside in the afternoon and then was surprised when some of his pupils ended up in hospital with heatstroke. (Other events on that trip included boys trying to climb into the girls' bedrooms via the balconies and striking French lorry drivers setting fire to the Eurostar tracks. I aged about ten years' in a week.)

Yes, hot again, we seem to be getting used to it in the 30s.   Ah, but holidays coming up, cool and showery?  We've had one wet day in 9 weeks, (London).

Considerably cooler here today. Quite pleasant especially in the shade.

An OK 25°C today - nice when a breeze gets up.

It is a much more bearable 20C at present, thank goodness.

A bit cooler here too at a pleasant 25C after three weeks of 30C. At a beer festival. Nice!

Poor bugger  :(

On another thread in a different place somebody remarked that summer in Britain 2018 has been an outlier - heatwaves are random things which can occur unpredictably any summer; I've endured several in my lifetime - but in decades to come, long after most of us here are dust, this could be the new normal, with global temperatures inexorably rising.

I fear for a future I won't see  :(

In c.2060, today's kids and teenagers and 20-somethings will be reminiscing fondly, and telling their brats and grandbrats about, the summer of '18, the way we do about '76. (75 was exceptionally hot, as well, but it was outshone by the following year, so no-one remembers that.)

I don't reminisce fondly about 1976. Hate hot weather.

Me too.

It's something to endure, not enjoy. I don't understand those who claim the latter.

Book me a one-way ticket to Svalbard for the remainder of my days. I like the climate, and the flora and fauna are interesting at least.

If climate change goes the way of the predictions, as seems likely, it won't affect me - I'll be ashes - but in advance I tremble for the animals of the world. As usual, they will cop the worst of our stupidity.

In this country I also find it disagreeable. In fact earlier this afternoon I was scurrying about the garden from one patch of shade to another to avoid that yellow, merciless object.

However when abroad I suddenly love warmer weather.

Go figure.
