In case you missed it, the UK temperature record was broken
yesterday with temperatures reaching 38.1° Celsius in
Gravesend,
East of London.
Holly and I really felt the heat. Back in Oz, we wouldn't be too
worried about such temperatures, though we would have fans and
air-conditioned workplaces to make life a bit more bearable. Over
here, buying a fan would be a bit of a luxury, considering it's only
needed for a few weeks a year.
There are, I guess, some other factors. The air was very still for
most of yesterday, no cooling breezes. In Sydney, we expect a
spectacular afternoon storm on a hot day. That doesn't often happen
in London.
Still, the fact that we're really feeling the heat can't help but
remind me that we've been here quite a while now. Mabye we're
getting used to the weather? Well I sure hope it gets cooler in the
South
of France by September or we'll be melting.
