Too Hot!

[Guest]

[ATTACH]351365[/ATTACH]

That’s the temperature in my hobby room a few minutes ago (ca. 16:00), and that’s with the window having been open since before noon. I dread to think what it would have been had I kept it closed all day. 29.5 degrees in the living room where I’m typing this, and 38.5 outside (it was 39.5 half an hour ago, so we’re making progress! Still, either of those is the highest temperatures I’ve seen here in years).

Not sure about the temperature records.

Just after the war I remember the papers with huge headline 100.
That is in Fahrenheit. Just 38 degrees

Now that happened on a number of days. We used to go down to the
Rec (recreational ground).

We would play cricket for an hour then sit under the large oak trees knacked.
But revival was at hand. A huge bottle of Tizer each perspiration pouring
from us. What I remembered most was the laughing good days.

It’s hot and humid today!
No breeze to speak of and my hands are constantly clammy.

Lie on bed Chris. Take off all clothes (lock door first) & place fan as high as possible on full on the wander setting.

Delightful experience as the wind wipes over your body. 10 minutes turn over for a fresh experience.

Quite ok then :tongue-out3: . My cars outside temp showed 42 at the Eindhoven area and the north of Belgium...first time in my life I'm experiencing temperatures this hot...it's just a tad too much for me :cold-sweat::dizzy:

38 here in Canterbury. I tried to remember where I'd last experienced temperatures this hot and think it must have been in Egypt c. 1990. Just checked, and Cairo is a mere 36, though Aswan (definitely the hottest place I've ever been) is 42. The difference there is that it's a very arid heat, so you don't sweat so much.

I feel your pain. I too am a farmer. I farm chickens. Thankfully the birds I have in are only chicks so the sheds are running at between 30+32 degrees. If they were big birds I would be struggling to keep them cool. Well, I better get going 190,000 chicks won't look after themselves.

We are seriously struggling to keep our pigs cool. They are ripping out their water barrels to make wallows but not understanding that it also takes away all the water pressure therefore everyone else has no water. Which in turn makes them irritable. I had the chance to be a chicken farm manager but i passed on it. I prefer pigs and our 1400 pigs keep me busy enough lol.

Got burnt silly today. Factor 50 didn't touch the UV today. Luckily i have loads of aftersun!

Whichever temperature scale you use - it's still too hot!
Can't even think of sitting at the bench - I hope that the temperature falls soon - otherwise ebay auctions will inflate the stash, just when I thought I was making inroads!

I learned all about this with the kids. Forget the factor number, look for little star rated icons. You want four or five star UVA and UVB rated protection.

It hit 40 degrees here maybe an hour after I typed my previous message. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it that hot in this part of the world (the southwestern Netherlands).

first time in my life I'm experiencing temperatures this hot...it's just a tad too much for me :cold-sweat::dizzy:

I remember being on holiday in northern Germany in 1992, and it hit 40 degrees, and in the summer 1999 I was in Washington DC where it reached over 40 as well. Funniest bit about that were the signs on many streets that said “SNOW LANE KEEP CLEAR”.
