It turned cloudy at lunchtime yesterday, and it is still cloudy this morning and 'feels like' 13C with that NE wind again 
Where's all the heat/sunshine we're meant to be having?

It showed up after lunch 

[Lardman]

Too warm inside overnight but pleasant outside around 7am walking the dog.  Looking at the temperature forecast I think it'll be an inside day for me.

Looks set for Scorchio today! Might get a few items knocked off the jobs list before the heat gets too bad.

[mumofstig]

Woo hoo! Even we have sunshine today 
We get to keep the NE breeze, so don't think we'll get the very high temps that are forecast for some - which suits me just fine

Rather hot but nice in the shade with a gentle breeze wafting around.

[Plot 1 Problems]

Hot, hot. hot!

It is nice and warm here but I'm a hay fever sufferer and at the moment it's putting me off going outside. Neighbours are cutting grass etc and I'm suffering.  I walked   up to the end of the garden to put  out the rubbish and it took me an hour to stop sneezing and coughing.

Awakened at 5:45am by two cats demanding breakfast. Loudly. Fed them and back to bed until 8:30 which was later than planned. The polytunnel, despite being open at both ends to allow a cooling breeze and only having been in full sun for half an hour, was 28ºC
It's really scorchio already. Hotter than the met office's predicted 24ºC midday peak. A day for sitting in the shade.

Summer has finally arrived in the SE, but as usual the pendulum swings the other way. Weeks of 18C with cloud and rain swings to 30C and sunny. I'm not complaining too loudly but if it were 5C cooler it would be ideal. Happy mediums seem to be very rare these days.

Yesterday I was on the community plot and my plot for a couple of hours in the afternoon, and just didn't have the energy to do anything physical beyond watering and a small amount of weeding. I don't know if it was purely the weather, or the second COVID jab an hour earlier, but I felt the life being sucked out of me as the afternoon went on.

From what I've heard, it's probably best to avoid strenuous exercise for a day or two after a vaccination as your body concentrates on building up your defences. Sounds reasonable to me, anyway.

Sunny and seriously hot (31) here now. Pleased I watered the plot at 7.00 this morning (15) even if I surprised myself. HH

Scorching, was 27c in the tunnel at 7;30 this morning & had got to 47c yesterday 

[Goosegirl]

Oh so hot here, but if you find a shady spot to sit in there's a nice welcome breeze to cool you down.

[mrs bouquet]

It is 30c here now.    The Driers are marking the kitchen unbearable.     Some plants have been moved to a shady area.

[Lardman]

Nice around 7am but unpleasantly hot since.
