    Wow!
    I took the dog for a walk around 10.00am.Had to wear an anorak to keep dry, couldn't see across the cricket field for mizzling low cloud.
    Come lunch time, the cloud cleared. It is wall to wall blue sky, blowing a hooley. 3Oo and hot, hot hot!
    All windows and roof lights open so quite a breeze blowing through the house, quite pleasant indoors. Too hot for me outside.

      It clouded over around midday but has totally cleared now.
      Around 30c is probably it for today.

        It was by no means warm this morning, so that I took a hoodie. Now, it's really warm outside. I avoid to say hot. My friend in Spain has got currently 41c.
        We have just 27c currently, blue sky with a few clouds. It will be a little bit warmer tomorrow.

            Mostly cloudless now, our high was 33,4c, now 32,4c and just a hint of a hot breeze so a bit stifling.

                Been a lovely day in Perth today, very different away from the cool breeze that we get off the North Sea/Baltic, now a pleasant 17 degrees, little wind, but all change tomorrow it seems.

                    A very windy morning with early fog and remained cloudy until the afternoon and only reached 20c at Portland Bill. Back home an hour later and it was 25c.

                      29 today, but nothing like previous hot spells, as not only did we have a persistent strong breeze, but the air was cool. I still think this is a heat plume exception to the early autumnal feel of the last week.

                        No rain yet this month (or for the previous month but with a little drizzle a couple of days) and none forecast.

                        Today was hot in the sun at 24.4C in the shade but a cool feeling breeze. 34C forecast for tomorrow.

                            20C already but a nice breeze blowing at the moment. With the forecast at 34C I decided to do some gardening early so have just finished an hour of it.

                            On the TV they are now forecasting possible nasty thunderstorms because of the heat but nothing showing on the map for Shineyland.

                            Take care today :)

                              I’ve opened the patio door to let the cool morning air in - but it’s 20 outside so not much cooling to be had! Set for the hottest day of the year somewhere in GB today, but not here as forecast about 25.
