UK heatwave: Temperatures rise to 31.8C and could climb further

It’s going to be 29 degrees in the Gatwick area tomorrow…at nine in the morning!

Ok, the worst is nearly over as far as the heat is concerned, there’s still very little rain on the horizon according to the BBC forecast, let’s hope things change sooner rather than later.

Breaking news…
Still 33 C at 21:00 hours here in South Yorkshire…Walking outside feel like I left the oven door open…

!0pm and still 30c here with no sign of it reducing. The grass outside on the common is now completely brown with a high chance of a fire. I think I may stay awake tonight.

Made me smile just now when I re-read the title of Pixie’s thread - " Temperatures rise to 31.8.
If only they had stopped at that as a max, instead of the 41 forecast for here tomorrow.

It got to 35c yesterday, its 24c now, I slept but don’t feel as if I did hey oh , cest la vie as they say.

Don’t forget that insulation works both ways, it keeps the heat out as well as stopping you get too cold.

27°C degrees here already…going to hit 29 - 30 later on.

The windows and blinds are battened down but it does make everything so very stuffy! :frowning_face:

Just heard from my son in Wales to say it is absolutely bucketing down there at the moment and the drains are overflowing! :astonished:

Lucky devil! :grinning:

I put water out every morning at this time of the year, I feel sorry for all the little creatures in weather like this.

Not that I’m wishing for rain, since y’know Scotland and everything, but yes, I could do with some right now. None heading up here until Sunday apparently. :roll_eyes: unheard of!

What rain on a Sunday !!
