bickster Posted July 18, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 18, 2022 Well my cooling down was very much localised. Just popped round the lanes to Crosby and a mile inland it’s roasting at 37C This is definitely hotter than 76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Sweltering in Warrington. Kinda like Sleepless in Seattle but with less Tom Hanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got an old stone house too. It's properly f***ing freezing in the winter but at least on days like today it stays relatively cool. We've got a big row of trees on the south facing bit of the garden and they've helped to keep things a bit cooler as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted July 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) From 1992, during a previous, much less intense heatwave. Long story short: the author presents climate change as a "debate," and doesn't take it too seriously. Wonder what he would say today. Hope this is legible at the low-res. I suppose it must make painful reading today. Edited July 18, 2022 by Marka Ragnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 7 hours ago, The Fun Factory said: The worst I ever felt on the underground was one year when I went to Wimbledon on a hot June day and on the way back the tube stopped for 5 minutes with no fresh air and completely packed. Never again! Very similar for me on the U-Bahn in Berlin one year. Absolute scorcher of an afternoon and we ended up stopped in a tunnel for about 20 mins. They even opened the doors in order to try and get some air in. Very uncomfortable. I was heading out on the lash as well, I was drenched in sweat when I got off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
