ExSurveyor Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Heat wave my a#se, we called it summer When I were a lad. Told the old mother in law "the government says you have to stay out the Heat", she is in the cupboard until it is over. Up on the boat off 15 nights on friday, bet normal weather resumes from Saturday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExSurveyor Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Tomorrow will reach, dare I say it, 32 degrees. Time for the government to warn us not to go out in the sun ☀. Funny how we manage to go abroad without needing constant advice. Hotter than Hawaii, I shall cancel my work tomorrow and get the surfboard out on the Medway and play some beach boys music on my 8 track. Surf City here I come On second thoughts, I will just turn up the aircon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 checked the car earlier and it was registering 34 deg here, no aircon, all windows and doors open here at our office plus 2 big 18" fans going flat out to stir the hot air up a bit. our new office has aircon downstairs (no heaters or windows) and heating upstairs (no aircon, but does have windows both sides) hoping to move in in about a week or so.

ranworthbreeze Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I looked on the webcams for Oulton Broad and Wroxham both showed it was muggy with temperatures of 29C. In Sheffield we had a thunder storm it bounced down with rain but at one stage around 4.00pm the temperature was up to 36C. It is still warm, I see the media have all gone over the top and no doubt the powers that be calling for drought measures to be brought into play.

RayandCarole Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Well picked up granddaughter from school, she was very flushed and complained of feeling unwell Bundled her into car, gave her a bottle of cold water, AC set at 16 c by the time we got home (15 mins) she was much perkier, don't think school are keeping them properly hydrated Anyway mummy informed hopefully she will pass it on Ray & Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 car temp maxed out at 35 today, was glad when I got into the car to drive home with the aircon, when I got out to get petrol, the heat hit like a wall. Grendel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadScot Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hi Ray, I would get very annoyed if that happened up here. Loch Braden holds 750 days supply when full ! I appreciate though down south, the reservoirs aint as big capacity. Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Forgive me, I don't want to appear to be preaching but please can everyone be aware how dangerous this heat can be for the elderly and the very young, I learned the hard way when someone very close to me had a convulsion due to being de-hydrated, not a nice thing to see. Plenty of fluids, high factor sun cream and sun hats if you are out in it and find lots of shade where possible. Sorry folks, sermon over Grace p.s Do you think we can include wine in the "Plenty of fluids" advice? lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 100F degrees in real money, that's about 15C in foreign money. Had to laugh today at the weather forecaster who had no idea at all of the equivalents to this centigrade stuff. Now in my day….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hi Grace, Very good advice, no not the wine Plenty of fluids !!! Personally I have stayed indoors and watched athletes knock seven bells out of tennis balls instead! Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finny Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Its also dangerous for drivers Gracie I do wish todays young ladies would dress more suitably.............nearly had three crashes today flashinfin 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I saw something shocking today. A young (ish) mother with a very young baby dressed only in a disposable nappy, in a pram, no shade on the child as the shade was being used to carry loose shopping and a purse. The child was screaming, and had sunburn. Local plod were already having words with the mother and calling for a car before I had chance to place a call to them. I could hear the mother shouting 'where am I supposed to put my f******' purse then?' at the WPC. Brain dead some people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillR Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 jillys tip for over heating when your out and about ... head for the nearest supermarket and buy a bag or two of ice and while your there linger on the freezer isle till you've cooled down. when bilgefairy was young it worked a treat (they get tetchy when they get hot, don't they) shes on her way driving to france to play her flute and folk dance from Sweden. Sweden wasn't to bad but france will be hot hot hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I arrived home last night after having playing snooker at our local community centre to find the family outside looking up at the clouds. It was still clammy, all the doors and windows open, so asked what's too do? They had been watching the skies for a long while and were witnessing lighting in the clouds, no thunder at all, just a light show.
