In Northumberland it's 16°c breezy and damp. Look...

It was 34 degrees today. However, the humidity was only 42% which made all the difference from the UK. Tomorrow 37 is promised.
I close all the blinds except the room I am in, something like the wintertime, and only open the windows when cooler.
I can sit on the balcony to watch the world go by.

Lovely to see Gdcs of 7 and nearly 6 like 2 little fishes in their mini swimming pool after school yesterday. I just hope there’ll be plenty more days when it’s warm enough. It’s the 3rd summer of that pool now - a first-lockdown investment when all the pools were closed, so they wouldn’t lose their water-confidence.
With a bit of luck and enough warm days the 2 year old will be swimming by the end of the summer, too. ?

It's still 28° in Colchester only dropping to 18° overnight. It feels really close even though there's a warm breeze.

It's quite cool and has been raining on and off all day here in the far North West.

It's felt like around 30 degrees in my little part of Yorkshire. We went to cheer on two of the DGS at Sports Day - they didn't seem to notice the heat but we certainly did!

Afterwards I suggested we hop on a bus rather than trudge up the steep hill in the heat to where we'd parked our car. So we hopped on a bus that was going the wrong way and ended up trudging half a mile further. What with that and my part in us turning up to Sports Day half an hour late, I'm not flavour of the month today. blush

I have been in Kent today, 32C ,mainly sweating and moaning.

Don't worry, MiniMoon
One hot day does not a heatwave make!
Just as one swallow doesn't make a summer.

It's not 1959, 1976 or 2003 all over again - yet, although you'd think so listening to all the warnings in the media.

East Yorkshire, OK but not as predicted.
However BBQ lit, wine poured and ready to sit in our evening spot at the bottom of the garden.

Currently 31C in my corner of Lincs. Part sun, part cloud and gusty wind all day and the pollen levels are in the stratosphere. My eyes hurt, my throat's scratchy, my nose is blocked; my head aches and I just want to feel cool and normal again.

Another thing me, cold in Northumberland. Woke at 5am, too warm. Assumed it was going to be sunny. ⛅

No chance.

Mid Cornwall this afternoon at 3:00pm it was 28c. I drove 15 miles to the coast further south west and temperature was 19c. Cloud cover was coming in fast from the south west. All flights to Isle of Scilly were cancelled.

It’s been roasting here (SW London) and in Oxford where dd is, but because they’re going camping from this afternoon until Sunday, it’s apparently going to rain all weekend.
You can always rely on Sod’s Law!

5 miles outside Durham. Decidedly underwhelming weather today - only just warm and breezy and a few spots of rain about an hour ago. Overall, a good drying day for towels and bedding.

Hot, sunny and windy in Brum.

GrannyGravy13 Fri 17-Jun-22 18:14:17

It’s just come down to 31c here in S E Essex, we have had youngest GC all day and his brother after school.

Bouncy castle was up under the tree, lots of splashing and swimming in the hot tub (it’s a big one all GC have learnt to swim in it) I love the hot sunny weather.

We were promised this morning Heat. It has been chilly and we were enveloped in sea frett for most of the afternoon. We are in S W Wales

Maudi Fri 17-Jun-22 17:46:50

I'm in France at the moment and it's 37 like an oven and 20 at night. Too hot.

tiredoldwoman Fri 17-Jun-22 17:37:46

It was like winter in St.Andrews this morning , cagoule zipped up tight and rain blowing though the wind ! It was heavenly here yesterday ....

Joseanne Fri 17-Jun-22 17:37:31

Hitting 28 in Devon. A tiny breeze on the coast.
It's dog training this evening, but I'm debating whether to go.

highlanddreams Fri 17-Jun-22 17:35:25

it's only 14 in the West Highlands, wet and windy ! I do not envy that heatwave though, you can keep that!

TwiceAsNice Fri 17-Jun-22 17:31:45

29 at the moment in Surrey . I am lying on my bed with all the windows open. It’s saying 22 next week on my weather app

J52 Fri 17-Jun-22 17:31:13

33 in Surrey, chose the right weekend to visit ?

rafichagran Fri 17-Jun-22 17:28:38

30+ in greater london. I have been out today, very hot.

lixy Fri 17-Jun-22 17:28:32

31C here in Bedfordshire and hayfever in full swing today despite the medication - a miserable day for me.

timetogo2016 Fri 17-Jun-22 17:24:52

It`s 29-c in the black country,too blinking hot for me.
Even with the breeze.
