What the hell ? I see the Government are having a COBRA meeting today to decide if they need to declare a National Heat Wave Emergency…talk about a nanny state. We have a few hot days and the media are constantly telling us how to cope…it really is pathetic. Why can’t we just enjoy the good weather ? It will soon be gone that’s for sure. God help us in a real emergency eg WW3.

I think we need a full lockdown this weekend. And don’t forget a mask…and another jab to be safe. |

Lots of ice cream and some kind of hat I’ve been seriously considering getting myself an hat, lots of the distinguished gentleman in our village seem to be donning such things, straw boaters seem to be all the rage at the moment with a white blazer. Hmmmm dare I 🤨 |

The only reasonable course of action a fully functioning government would take would be to decree it as ‘National Chuck Water Balloons at Ginger People Week’.

Been away too long Daughters boyfriend made a comment about my sunglasses looking like something from the 90’s, he was amazed when I told him they were. Got myself a pair of the aviator style now but they make me look like a bee, I’d get myself a pair of Raybans but not paying close on £200 I’d rather squint when in the sun. |

God help us in a real emergency eg WW3. How long before...today Manchester was hotter than Miami/Acapulco or wherever in a newspaper? It does sound daft to warn people but so many just go out and sit in it all day. So often after one hot day you see some folk burned red with white stripes after digging out their Summer dress ...that's just the men in some places. It's usually a bird who looks like the fat one from Birds of a Feather |

London-centric as usual.
The sun has barely shone in Stoke today.
Whatever happened to the Stiff Upper Lip?

In the Summer months. |

Relax It’s hot in the SE so the media and the rest of the country go into panic mode.
We will probably have some Thunder and Lightning in the near future.
Sadly someone will possibly die due to wild swimming. I hope not but It happens every year of late.
Provided that people are sensible, spend as much time as possible in the shade and stay well hydrated it’s no big deal .
As an aside should the sky’s clear we are due SUPPER MOON in the next few days. A full moon coincides with a close pass to earth.

Just curious... I realize you all are acclimated to temps much different than I, but what do you all really consider a "heat wave" or hot over there?

Incoming pictures of beaches in the south packed out in the media!
In all seriousness it's a bit dramatic isn't it. it's not been that hot really and it seems its just going to be cloudy from now on.
We really don't cope well with anything more than our damp and dreary usual weather, colder or hotter.

If the prediction is correct and it hits 37 degrees here in this bit of Wales next Tuesday we might struggle making our choc bars. (assuming people turn up).
EDIT: me included.🙂

Reservoirs being low is no surprise really. When you have uncontrolled immigration into this small island and an ever increasing population you don't have to be Einstein to work out where the problem lies.
The numbers are there for all to see.
