33C on the patio, 65.1C in the conservatory

I actually got around to putting a 50mm polystyrene suspended ceiling in the conservatory about 6 weeks ago. It faces south west, itās in full sun now and with the blinds closed and a fan on, itās a pretty comfortable 31Ā°c, before the ceiling it would have been 40Ā°c +.

We could do with similar - ours is unusable.

So was ours, itās vastly improved it. I had been quoted Ā£20k to take off the existing roof structure and replace it with a insulated one 
The insulation cost Ā£160 and while Iām sure the Ā£20k job would have been more somewhat effective, I will spend some of the savings on a better fan or 50.

Does this āconservatoryā have wood-clad walls and a bench or two? Throw some water on the floor for the full effectā¦

I wish. Nope, about a 1/4 - 1/3 height brick walls, 2/3 - 3/4 insulated glass and an insulated, heat reflective (yeah right) glass roof.
As Sodders said, perfectly unuseable.
10.30hrs and itās 27c, the grass hasnāt gone that lovely shade of brown that doesnāt need mowing yet, bugger.

That one seemed to soak and blast Swindon but didnāt get as far as Didcot. So I had to wash the birdshit (bloody hell, what are they eating to make it in such vast lurid quantities !?) off my car windscreen myself, ahead of a drive tomorrow.
We had a whole load of lightening and rain (NE of Swindon), very refreshing!
It hit 33C in the shade earlier, then a huge stack of cloud built up a few miles westā¦ The wind came up, the temperature plummeted, lightning flashes began to illuminate the towering wall of dark grey cloud - the rain startedā¦
And that was that, fuck-all.
SO annoying, and Iām not even sure why itās annoying apart from Iām a miserable old cunt that finds fucking everything annoyingā¦

We had rumbles of thunder here but nothing more. I am doing my regular tree/hedge thing with the council tomorrow. Ergo, it will rain tomorrow.

Yeah we just had that.
We were out for a walk and ended up sheltering under a railway bridge. At least there are plenty of those around here.

Two torrential but short, (maybe 5 minutes) storms and the rest of the time mostly sunny.
