You don't have to wait till October 25th to get persistent drivel.

I would have thought the same  though my tomatoes too are very small and they have been in the sun for two months,and fed too!

Great weather today , baking and humid on the train home and also at work  but nice and bright on the way home  and felt some of the day was left after a long days work . Looking forward to tomorrow as surprisingly the hottest day of this spell falls on my day off , so time to get the paddling pool out again and top up my holiday tan . I’ll enjoy it whilst we have it , you never know what’s later around the corner . 

Has anybody else noticed how the grass has already started to recover in some areas after the rain we had recently?.

That’s awful CR   it’s 25.5C in my bedroom atm and that feels bad enough. I hope you manage to get some sleep at least.

Had you like me wished you got ones years ago....

Total heaven isnt it when you can come in and cool down, sit comfortably with out droplets of sweat.

Sounds Lovely !

[Coopsy]

I slept well last night - not sure if humidity was low. Have a feeling today/tonight/weekend might be a different story.

[Katrine Basso]

The humidity is sapping me of all energy and it  leaves me totally exhausted all the time.

Yeah it was , for me anyway I don’t mind being hot etc as long as I can sleep at night etc which is not a problem at the moment for me  , maybe tonight will be different, it won’t be long until the heat is gone so I’m trying to enjoy it as much as possible whilst Its here including today  , I get that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea and it’s an individual thing , I will say though the commute home wasn’t pleasant but that’s more to do with the carriage conditions than the weather as it’s always crap whatever the weather . 

[Katrine Basso]

I am waiting for the temperatures to go back to seasonal average and for a decent amount of rain and cooler winds.

It's already up to 23.6 here...another sweat-fest of a day is on the cards!

Its 26c already at 9am, its to much.

This weather has to go, you cant get anything done, not everyone can sit around drinking and doing nothing.

Low twenties top temp sun all day and a sea breeze is perfect.

[Blazerblue]

Feeling lousy this morning. No sleep last night hasn’t helped. The Beeb and meto saying 24c top temp tomorrow for here, but netweather saying much higher! I’m hoping the Beeb n meto are right, with northerly breeze. No recovery here for grass or trees as we didn’t get nearly enough rain over the weekend. Roll on autumn I can’t take much more of this incessant heat.

I managed to get some sleep, BB. But, in doing that, I've got myself covered in mozzie bites!

[Blazerblue]

Did you sleep outside @Ed Stone? Got bitten by horsefly Saturday morning, whole arm swelled up and red hot. Took several days and antihistamines to get it almost back to normal, quite a sizeable chunk it took out of me and a bad reaction. 

Up to 26 already and some white fluffy clouds appearing.

Beautiful morning outside, Summer '18 is truly back today. 26c already with cloudless skies.

[lassie23]

it looks like something out of' the walking dead' out there today

[Methuselah]

The trusty Beccles weather station is currently saying 29.3C...What is it about flocking Friday!

[stainesbloke]

Sunny and hot here, 31C.
