How prepared are you for the UKs hottest day ever. (1 Viewer)

[Riverbankannie]

Not looking forward to the day at all. My little brother’s funeral. The big C claims another innocent sole.

So sorry.

 

[Landy Andy]

Parked under trees, looking out towards the lake, with the fridge fans running and awning out. Ready for all the weekend arrivals so I can watch the chaos. 37 degrees today and hotter tomorrow.

Just came back from breakfast 30 at the moment.

Did see a couple walking an Alsatian on the way back!! Bet the dog enjoyed that

Cool and overcast here.

27c here at the moment
I've opened the lid to the attic.
Every window open

 

[Janine]

I am going to struggle today.
Parked on Mother’s driveway, caring for her as she is 2 days out of hospital with broken ribs after a fall.
Unfortunately, I also have a very boisterous cocker spaniel with me who has been confined to the van so far.
It’s likely to be to hot to leave him in the van but scared to take him into the house in case he tries to sit on Mother’s lap.
I have a bottle of wine ready for later........

36 degrees on our patio here in Brighstone on the IOW at the moment and rising ☀ local campsite absolutely heaving which is good for them but means the beach is very busy so no walkies/swimming for Ruby or us today

 

[cranky]

SWMBO has an appointment today at the Christie in Manchester ... so I’m sitting in the car park waiting... if it gets really hot I’ll put the AC back on

 

[Ivory55]

Wouldn't want to live in a house without external shutters again - brilliant for keeping the interior cool in summer and warmer in winter

Yes most spanish here rarely lift there roller shutter blinds in summer.

Not looking forward to the day at all. My little brother’s funeral. The big C claims another innocent sole.

So sorry to hear that & I hope all goes as well as it can.

e van but scared to take him into the house in case he tries to sit on Mother’s lap.

How about out in the back garden ?

Why ?

[John Barrett]

Why ?

Hot air rises? Well, it certainly does on here...

 

[g3cwi]

I've opened the lid to the attic

You made a mistake there. You need to open the lid to the arctic for best results.

Wetherspoons

Last year they brought in industrial sized A/C units into their bars. Sounds like a good idea..

... that should spread Covid around nicely!

[Figaro]

Surely you need to open a vent in the attic to exterior ?

 

[Minxy]

No good here, our attic gets scorching hot so it would actually push hot air down into our lovely cool bungalow!

I was supposed to be putting some new panels on the front of the garages today ... that ain't gonna happen!!! Last week when it was a hot day I did some fence staining and didn't feel well by the end of it due to the sun, even though I didn't feel overly hot, it was obviously too much so I ain't taking no risks this time! Good excuse to chill in our lovely cool bungalow .... ...

Did I tell you I have a lovey cool bungalow???? (Don't be deceived by it's cuteness ... it's massive!)

 

[tonka]

I am moving my hammock into the shade..

Also bought my grandaughter a sun hat, so that when she goes to fetch me another beer from the fridge i know i have done my bit.

After spending half her life every summer in Benidorm, she's fully trained..

Photo would be good

 

[Brains]

Why ?

Attics get ridiculously hot.
If it hit's 40c in the shade outside, it will hit 50c+ in the attic

Mine has a window which I've opened.
As hot air rises hopefully I can keep the inside of the house below 30c

(It's 26c inside and 34c outside in the shade at the moment.)

I feel for the poor sods stuck in tail backs on a day like this after a 2 lorry and car crash still on going after the crash at 7.30am this morning, one lorry driver arrested, suspicion of drug driving.
A bit further South on the A1 close with another incident.

 

[Figaro]

Thats hot, where are is it ?

 

[Figaro]

I'm chillin' in the beautiful Shropshire hills at Smallbatch Campsite.
Chuckling at the tuggers and their antics getting set up.

Google is quoting 60 minutes to travel the 19 miles through those incidents.
I'll bet in reality its a lot longer than that

Muggy here but the breeze is developing, was gonna get my park flyer out later if the breeze drops this evening.
