Are any CCrs really going to suffer in this heat ?

[ColinJ]

it's baffled me for the fifteen years or so he's lived here... no matter how hot it is, that fleece jacket is always on... until today

Perhaps the zip was stuck and he has only just worked out how to free it!

This guy is suffering on twitter:

Having said that, even here we are forecast 27° tomorrow and 29° on Tuesday.

At least it’s only going to be two days of discomfort as we are forecast to be back to a more usual 19° by Wednesday.

Lucky you.

Where we are, it's forecast to be 37 Celcius on Monday 18th (Tomoz) & 40 Degrees Celcius on Tuesday 19th July.

They're always 'accurate' here, to within 1-degree

Today was stifling & it was "only" 32-degrees

Actually Flick (et-al) - I've just got back from the Pub AND now need to amend THAT latter figure !


They're now saying that it's going to be (an unprecedented) & rather alarming 41 degrees !!!!! (See attachment, below)

A pleasant 75 Fahrenheit here in my kitchen as I post. I've just slipped a fleecy top on and will be putting my bed socks on soon, before retiring to bed.

The media are just going over the top(as usual) with this.I could understand it if the high temperatures were going to go on for another week or so but we'll be back to normal temperatures by wednesday.

The media don't seem happy unless they are scaring us with some story or other these days. Do they actually report anything good happening?

There is plenty of froth in the papers. 40 degrees is not normal for the UK - and it is only going to get hotter - even if we go to net zero - it will keep getting hotter and hotter for a good few years.

How hot do you want it before it should be reported ? It's not good news for any of us.

Don't panic. It's only two days of heat - we do get one or two days of summer once a year ! Crack out the ice lollies. Reminds me, panic, need to get some lollies in the freezer.

It's not really about the temperature, more that it's expected to be two days only at this level.

A week or more, either hot or cold before they start issuing panic warnings. Don't remember '95 having warnings like this, for two days.

Have a warm drink instead.

Your body has to work harder to bring it up to body temperature, meaning you'll sweat more, and be warmer.

Just back from an early morning walk, no chance I'm leaving the camp site again now until it cools right down...
We have cold drinks, shade and plenty of food

Have a warm drink instead.

This only works if the humidity is low enough that sweat can evaporate.
If it's running down your forehead or you're not wearing clothes that allow evaporation, it'll do more harm than good.
