According to the sensor built into my alarm it is currently a nice cool 28° C in my room at the moment. Yay.
Today it was apparently 34° C during the day according to the BBC and the humidity was low. Sadly the humidity reading seems to have been a filthy filthy lie and walking around outside was akin to walking around inside a sauna. Dammit I live in the UK we aren't supposed to have this kind of weather, bring back the warm summer rain. Or at least give me a huge thunderstorm to watch, eff ess.
It was also quite obviously the perfect weather to spend an afternoon poking about in a false ceiling getting covered in fibreglass while running network cable :P.

I have the following on in my room at the moment:
FAN
AIR CONDITIONER
and yet it is still fucking hawt.
this is getting beyond a joke; nobody told me London was this goddamn warm at summer.
i'm seriously thinking about moving to alaska.
oh, and for the record; i'd have no problem with the heat in a country like...say...australia becuase:
a) beaches are in walking distance
b) i could wear shorts and tshirt to work and nobody would care
c) smoothies on every corner.
london isnt built for this heat; so why not turn the london eye "attraction" into a giant fan for the rest of us?

There is a useful machine called an "air conditioner" , where I'm from.
It so happens that I have one installed in my room.Nice 22 degrees centigrade all around me.
As for food, I think I'll order in:p Not a chance going in that soup outside.Computer & net is working , me is happy.
Life is good my friends .....:thumb:

Mine's better.

Your also forgetting about humidity.Heat + humidity =a clammy skin sticking can't breathe kinda of heat.It is about 90 here in Oregon and we have been cutting Himalayan blackberries and shrubs.Makes that cold drink taste mighty fine tho.
Oh but we have central air conditioning.
Which means I am either freezing my ass off or frying to death.

We have some which are Asphalt, some are concrete. Highways usually Concrete, Most side roads asphalt, or what you would call tarmac.
Thanks:That sounded daft I know after,I wrote it. :joke: I did wonder though!. As you have such heat in some place all the time if it melted.
I do not think our roads are always made correctly. We are just not used to this.

But..our asphalt roads don't seem to melt. They might get a tad sticky but never melt, and the temp here this week has been 106 degrees F.
If your roads melt, someones not doing something right.

All our road money gets sent to France
You ever seen a French road? Fucking poetry, all straight lines and beauitful junctions and signs
English roads are nothing, they are filth, they are an insult

That is true. The roads in France are beautiful. They are just not made properly here.
Too much tar,and not made right. They are always being dug up.This heat has proved it!.:tsktsk:

Most roads around here hold up nicely, but the road I live on is such a mess that you can plug pieces of rocks from the tar if it's hot enough. :p Makes for endless entertainment when it'd too hot to think.
The heat wave from a few weeks ago is easing up, the temperature's topping at about 30 Celcius, rather than regularly breaching 40. :eww: That was a living hell. I can only sleep during the day, so I lost more sleep than you can shake a stick at. I'd wake up every hour or two covered in sweat and in need or a drink, and all together it'd be half an hour before I got back to sleep. I couldn't get to sleep until 4 am and the heat would be too much for me around noon. :sweat:
Luckily, a combination of cooler weather, whiskey, and vodka got me sleeping again, but the heat's still driving me nuts. I can't wait for winter, I'll be in heaven when it's -30 and I can leave my window open all night again. :D
