Temperatures Afloat

[BroadAmbition]

Crews afloat today & tomorrow are sure gonna enjoy some fine and a tad warm weather. They should be thankful that the Broads are not in the ‘Red’ zone so the heat should be manageable. 
 

Meanwhile up here in Gods own Country we’re proper inside the ‘Red’ zone with temperatures forecast to top 40C.   No need for the big coat then. I’m wall tiling a bathroom due to complete Wednesday. I can see me losing a few ounces. Having to walk Purdey dog later in t evenings, of course she spends more time in t river than on t path

You take care Griff and I know it is a blow for us all who love a drop of the hard stuff, but today and tomorrow best only be drinking plenty of water.    Keep safe.

Guess you are happy not to  be working in a commercial kitchen this week then Ian.

I can confirm that it's hot here..even on the river.

[floydraser]

Hot here in Leics. No escape as we have a 91 year old to keep an eye on.

Currently 38 degrees on the Denham Owl under the cover. Record set yesterday at 41.3 so we'll see what we can acheive today.

[OldBerkshireBoy]

Soak a hand towel or drying up towel in cold water, lightly wring it out and place around your neck helps to cool down.

Well, I'm up the Chet at the moment, and no, that's not a euphemism. 32c and getting hotter. Don't know how much more I can take...must get to a bar, must get to a bar. Vision getting blurred, starting to lose the ability to speak, yes guys, I made it to the bar.

[BroadAmbition]

1200 and it’s 34C here

Not sure but here on the Southern Broads near Beccles 33 I do believe and that is hot enough and I love the hot weather.

[NeilB]

Still mud weighted on Barton, lovely stiff breeze last night but it's pretty weak at the moment.  

Be thankful it's not snowing......  Imagine shovelling snow in this heat....

well here in my home office the outside temp is reading 34.4, and inside its a mere 29.8 at 3pm, still as I have now put in my hours (having started at 6.am when it was cool) its time to go jump in the hot tub that is set at a mere 30 degrees, I have had 2 fans blowing onto me constantly, and have not been making any video calls for work as my attire has definitely been NSFW

Well personally I don't believe you. Have we met these fans? Have you brought them to any meets? I don't remember any fans on your boat.

Come on matey, play the game tell us all.

[SteveO]

It reached 31 here on the SE coast today, cooled by an onshore SE breeze.  Pleasant for sitting in the shade and perfect for a visit to Hythe beach and a dip in the sea this afternoon.  Will do the same tomorrow and maybe drive up to visit our boat once things cool down a bit.

[Smoggy]

Currently at beccles and it's 26c in the cabin and 23c out back with canopy open, walked into beccles earlier after running hat and t-shirt under the cold tap and it was lovely.

Dog getting hosed down regularly. 

On a plus note if I was stopping in an igloo tonight I'd be homeless. 

[ExSurveyor]

38 degrees here on the edges of the Medway Towns, hotter tomorrow.

It has been a struggle to keep the top floor of the house cool as we have 2 large french doors upstairs facing down the garden into the morning sun. The house is an unusual design for the UK as it has a 1m overhang at first floor level all around, this provides shade to the ground floor and is very effective in shading to ground floor rear glass.

I keep threatening to fit aircon upstairs but Matron vetos it, now might be the time to suggest it again 😎

[BroadAmbition]

The thermometer in our hovel (In t shade) reached a high today of 36C.  Coincidentally the GriffTile vans outside temperature gauge also got to a high of 36C so I am confident they are both reading and are calibrated correctly.

Main news earlier this evening forecasts Yorkshire to be hotter than London tomorrow with a possible high of 41C.  We will see

We have all the curtains shut, all t windows during the day shut.  Loft hatch open, conservatory doors open, conservatory roof window open.  Fan blowing in t lounge which is the coolest room in t house during the day and the lounge is far from cool by normal standards.  Purdey is fast becoming a water dog and will soon have developed web feet.  MrsG has taken to sleeping downstairs in t conservatory at nights.  My concern is that shotgun cartridges are supposed to be stored in a dry cool place - Really?  Dry isn't an issue, cool certainly is though   I must have two thousand of the things slowly getting warmer and warmer
