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, itâs in full sun now and with the blinds closed and a fan on, itâs a pretty comfortable 31°c, before the ceiling it would have been 40°c +.

We could do with similar - ours is unusable.

So was ours, itâs vastly improved it. I had been quoted ÂŁ20k to take off the existing roof structure and replace it with a insulated one 
The insulation cost ÂŁ160 and while Iâm sure the ÂŁ20k job would have been more somewhat effective, I will spend some of the savings on a better fan or 50.

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

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 itâs 27c, the grass hasnât gone that lovely shade of brown that doesnât need mowing yet, bugger.

That one seemed to soak and blast Swindon but didnât 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 west⌠The wind came up, the temperature plummeted, lightning flashes began to illuminate the towering wall of dark grey cloud - the rain startedâŚ
And that was that, fuck-all.
SO annoying, and Iâm not even sure why itâs annoying apart from Iâm a miserable old cunt that finds fucking everything annoying⌠

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.

Hel has decided that we are going to enter an apocalyptic heat wave shortly and insisted I buy an aircon unit. She noticed that I was non-committal about her wellbeing and it was the mention of the dogs that kicked me into action

If youâre running valve or class A amps in your listening room, thereâll always be an apocalyptic heat wave, so you may as well get one in there tooâŚâŚ.
âŚ.oh, and donât forget the solar panels, so running the air-con on sunny days costs you nowt

Just been slashing it down in Caernarfon. Came back soaked to find two damp donkeys.

Bought an aircon this year - purely for the dogs (well the old boy, whoâs not a heat-whore). Humanâs just have to get used to it
