Good people of Britain...........PANIC

Fuck that shit. Over 25° is completely unnecessary.

25 is freezing

its been proper frosty here in the mornings this week but up to around 20 in the afternoons. not bad for mid winter

 

[The Bear]

Yeah direct sunlight in the heat of the day over 25°C isn't pleasant to be in. Much prefer it when the sun goes down or behind clouds at that temperature.

I spent most of January and February doing gardening jobs in mid-thirties for hours a day. It was bloody lovely.

 

[BillyDee]

Yeah, but in the UK it's a different type of heat...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The heat is drier here, I will concede. Mind you, back there 25 degrees was a cue to maybe start thinking about taking my leather jacket off. Maybe.

 

[Tredman]

Great minds! Got a nice variety of electrolyte tabs and I've got gels to take with me. I wouldn't normally bother with a gel at that distance but not chancing it with this forecast.

I vomited all over the place after running 10k in Singapore

Hope you enjoy the race!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Singapore would have been what 35 degrees plus and 100% humidity!

 

[Tredman]

It was early so probably below 30 I think. Humidity is what gets you though.

 

[visage]

Yeah, I was in Bangkok recently and took what I thought would be a relaxing 30 minute walk at 10pm. By the time I got back to the hotel I was literally drenched.

Off to The Algarve for 2 weeks on Sunday. Tuesday we're doing our day trip to Seville, normally a scorcher, was up to 41 last year when we went (same day, 24th June). Today its 38 at the moment according to Google Maps

I got lucky on my trip to Sevilla a few years ago - a *mild* 31 from memory.

First time I ever went was May one year and it was 36° then. I had the best bottle of coca cola ever sat under a palm tree in the park.

Last year we bought a couple of bottles of mineral water turned out to be random bottles filled with tap water) off a gringo, €2 a bottle but we were so thirsty we would have drunk river water

Maybe I'm preoccupied but I initially read this to mean something very different.

35 most days here in June, with heat index it feels like 40. Not a cloud in the sky.

As an aside it rained last Thursday. A lot. Highest single day rainfall for 12 years - over 6 inches. It mostly fell between midnight and 5am. THIRTEEN people drowned. On their way to work, in the dark. A recently repaired drainage ditch couldn't cope with the volume of water.
