Too damn hot!

[Karlos]

Typical whingeing limey that I am, it's too hot (as opposed to being too wet/cold/whatever)....

I took this picture at my desk (dodgy cameraphone shot) at 8:35am with in the shade, windows open my deskfan on full tilt...



... and the day hasn't even started :-o

Geordie genetic adaptation to our native climate and habits of wearing t shirts in mid-winter led to the elimination of 95% of the normal proportion of sweat glands. We can only sweat via our foreheads and between our toes (oh and the old a*se crack of course). Consequently, we can't endure heat.

Heard on the news that you guys topped out at 36°C, a record for July.

Well it seriously rained at about 4am this morning and I was out in it in a flash :-D

Of course now it is overcast but heating up badly, evaporating all traces of the deluge into the air pushing the humidity right up. It's 31C here at my desk right now, but unlike yesterday, sticky too.

You really need air conditioning :-D

Oh yes indeedy. Of course nowhere in the UK is this hot long enough for companies to justify the expense, especially retrofitting already built offices like these.

To be fair the temperatures up here have mainly been mid twenties, although it was 31C at the festival I was at on Saturday, but I'm loving every minute of this.

We Scots are used to cold, wet weather, all year round. This is a nice change.

I don't like it, but cold / wet is easier to cope with than overwhelmingly hot and humid...
