Don't worry - the rain will arrive in about a week when I get back to England! I've been in Italy for a month and they've had the most rain ever on record. So not only have I had the rain here, but I've missed the heatwave in England too. Tell me you're sorry for me......

Tans are hugely over-rated. Pale and interesting is where it's at.

It is a scorching 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38C) here halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth. We haven't even gotten to the hot part of the summer yet. This is part of why I am nocturnal.

HOT 100 plus Farenheit. Be even hotter the rest of the week.

West central Florida here. Temps are 90-92 feels like 100-104 and generally humid especially late afternoon and evening. I don’t go outside too much.

I remember when Margaret Thatcher privatised all the water utilities, one of the first things they did was sell off land earmarked for reservoirs, to make a quick profit.

I am a redhead too, so I feel your need to hide so you don’t combust. It’s actually quite nice in south-central Pennsylvania today. Warm without humidity and the sun is shining.

So-so. Low 30s by day, high 20s by night.
Be warmer next week, when mid 30s are forecast.

We are experiencing a delightful heatwave here in Ireland...highest recorded temperatures since 1974! Glorious...??

Very warm also ?
