last 3 weeks england has been hotter than guam and one of my guamian friends is complaining about the heat.
We've averaged over 30c for the last 3 weeks. In castle gresley we've had not one drop of rain in that time either.
I'm also recording hotter temps than the national weather people are giving out.
I go by the temp sensor in my car, a weather station and a thermometer on the balcony.
2 weeks ago they recnoned the max temop countrywide was 29c. My weather station had 35, the thermometer hit 37.9 and my car - which tends to be the lowest hit 34.
No idea where the car temp sensor is, but presumably it's both in the shade and out of the wind and nowhere near the engine.
So quite how the met office is taking their temperatures I don't know.
I don't mind the temp.
That said last week I had to move a clients office (make sure it all got plugged back in right and everything worked). Lot of carrying stuff up and down stairs - that was a very sweaty day lol
But yep weather is really unusual for the uk. May and june were great months, july's started out as good. May it contunue
