    This my patio thermometer - and that’s in the shade 😳😳
    About the same in my back garden....in the shade as well, the one on the opposite side is in the sun a says 55c.

    Give it a hour and my thermo will be in direct sunlight - will take another photo then and post it on here - I’m expecting 40

    Suffice to say I am working in my pants and that’s all today - good job I am WFH 🤣
    And me.

    However, the children have complained and I have been called in a for a meeting later with the headmistress.
    Who is hopefully only in her bra and knickers 😂
  • In my experience, people who say it's just weather are called 'gammons' by the people who say it's climate change 

    &

    People who say it's climate change are called 'Snowflakes' by the people who say it's just summer weather.

    Both sets of people are infuriatingly childish in my view

    I used to work with a women who was from Congo and she would have a fleece on today. 
  • 36.7 at 4pm with 20% humidity in sunny NW Kent.   At 3:45pm the temperature was 37.2.

    The runway melted 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 either a design issue or bs. I wonder what the runways in the Middle East are made of as they don’t appear to melt.

    It breaks back to where you are constructing - there probably hasn’t been a new RAF base in UK since WW2 - yes some runways will have been dug up and re -done, but only to cope with expected UK weather conditions

    To put it another way, I bet when we had RAF bases in places like Aden, they were built to Aden weather standards, not UK ones

  • I'm following the advice given to close all windows and doors, pull curtains and blinds etc and it does appear to be helpng so far 

    I'm working from home today and the room faces south, has windows at either end and a patio door on the other wall, which is in the sun all day. Normally I would have a door open and the temperature often reaches over 30C when it is lower than that outside. Today with everything closed, a desk fan and tower fan on my back, the temperature is 29C. The outside thermometer which isn't in the sun yet is showing 35C.


    I tried this also. 

    Let some cooler air in at 05:30 then shut up everything at 06:00.  Faithful Galileo thermometer still has two floats up - would expect all balls down by now - it's a triumph!

    Described by spokesperson for Luton Airport as a surface defect, so would be rather a coincidence if it were not heat related. We don't normally get the temperatures that are seen in the Middle East, so don't build to those standards, therefore not a fair comparison.
    You sound certain that we don’t build to the standards in the Middle East. I’m not so sure. The runways would be regularly checked and maintained and because of increased temperatures, any engineering firm worth their salt would be taking that into account in their retrospective design reviews. I imagine the MOD will be issuing a pre action protocol letter by the end of the week, on whatever engineering firm had responsible for this.

    Where there's blame there's a claim. And where there's a claim there's ......... you!

  • 36.4 at 5pm with 23% humidity and some high level cloud which may affect temperatures. 
  • So we are nowhere near 40c today so far. 

    Just checking on my phone - it’s 47 degrees this week in Palm Springs Southern California….. 31 the overnight low. 

    Imagine 10c again on top of this!

    Me too - and I'm in the office. Caused a bit of a stir, I can tell you.


    I bet no one complains to the boss of HR about it though
