Just getting all the stuff via the interweb on me phone about the "heatwave" in the UK.   

When I got out of bed the other morning, it was 24° in the kitchen and I put the gas fire on!

Oh, and temps over 30° are expected. Oh no!

Having said that, the top of me head got badly sunburned back in 2023 on Holy Island, Northumberland, of all places!

Exactly! More than one nice summer's day is now a 'heatwave', with all sorts of health warnings.

And some snow in winter is a 'Beast from the East' or similar nonsense.

Have we forgotten about seasonal weather?

And, as for this new fixation with naming storms - what nonsense.

Your sunburnt scalp on Holy Island must have been a pain. Perhaps the monks carried parasols ... also handy protection from dive-bombing seabirds, of which there are a good few thereabouts.

With all good wishes.

I couldn't agree more @Train Waiting .
This is Summer weather and a splendid change after what was, until the last day or so, a pretty dismal Spring.

I for one love the heat so no complaints here.
Mind you, I caught the train to Hayle in Cornwall on Saturday to visit the club exhibition.
Super duper weather all the way but Hayle itself was shrouded in damp sea mist with a temperature of about ten degrees. - brrrr.
That's cornwall for you though - I should know as I lived there for 20 years.
