Looks like the heatwaves finished.
It's gone cloudy with spots of rai .

In a strange way I think I'll miss it.

Still boiling here in Essex. I can’t wait for it to cool down! I hate it!

Still flipping hot in Wiltshire. Everything wilting, including me.

Shall try the rain dance!

Can I do the dance with just my eyelids please?

Pantglas2 Tue 19-Jul-22 14:56:16

Cloudy and cooler on north Wales coast - easier sleepings tonight methinks ?

Gongoozler Tue 19-Jul-22 15:00:53

If you can manage that Fanny, please tell me how.

Grandyma Tue 19-Jul-22 15:06:30

Still scorching in Hertfordshire ?

MrsKen33 Tue 19-Jul-22 15:09:29

Warm, but a sharp heavy shower around lunchtime ..SW Wales

Gongoozler it has its roots in Morse Code, I think

Millie22 Tue 19-Jul-22 15:10:18

You must be joking! 38° here ☀️

JaneJudge Tue 19-Jul-22 15:10:45

All the hot people in the hot areas have turned into Martin Goodman in Friday NightDinner and are bloody boiling
I bet

I watched the forecast earlier. Here in Brum we were the hottest in the UK at 41 degrees. ☀️

Only 22 here now in Northumberland, but the tides are wrong to take my dog to the beach later. He's got arthritis and can't run on the soft sand when the tide's up.

Boiling hot here in Northamptonshire. 39c but at least there's some breeze outside unlike yesterday. Like a sauna upstairs although all the ceiling fans are on upstairs and down. Got two Dyson cool fans on and a tower fan in the kitchen.
Windows and curtains closed and I'm still sweating.
Roll on tomorrow.

Dinahmo Tue 19-Jul-22 15:21:08

We're expecting a thunderstorm tonight and same rain and a drop in temperature to 82F tomorrow. But then it's going back up to 97F by Sunday. In France.

Still 37 degrees here in N. Bucks.

Looking forward to a 10 degree drop tomorrow. That’ll do me.

The fires around London look awful welbeck. We've had some nasty ones day after day on the heaths around here but so far they haven't spread to any residential areas. So grateful to all our firefighters.

A sprinkling of rain in South Somerset- so welcome - but the sun ? is peeping through the wispy clouds now & its getting hot again. ?

Musicgirl Tue 19-Jul-22 15:37:05

37 here in East Anglia. I’m sitting by the fan.

Chestnut Tue 19-Jul-22 15:37:05

It's the centre of the country wot copped it this time. It's cooler round the edges if that's where you are. My indoor thermometer was 30 degrees C last night at midnight and I'm expecting it to be higher tonight (currently 31.5). The heat seems to build up during the day and it always feels hotter in the evening.

sodapop Tue 19-Jul-22 15:39:37

Smoke drifting over here from the wild fires in Gironde and we are 200 km away.

Thunderstorms forecast for tonight.

Shit a brick ?
Nice bit of squirrel ?
As you can see I’m a huge fan.

Was just getting jealous about the rain when it started here. I hope it clears the air so we can get back to a 'normal' summer

Bath/Bristol area
