The Weather Thread.

Went down southbank last night as we were down that there London. Despite being hounded by a Quad Bike gang of some sort when we drove in it was a lovely evening.

Had a drink by the National Theatre, had some food, went for a walk and everyone was being pleasant, some cool music about, great weather and left around 02:00.

Londoners seem to be doing it well.

Dave!

But… but… but… I do t understand. I thought London was now a war zone with gangs of violent feral criminals, with crime, robbing and violence and the Police doing nothing because they’ve “lost the city”

See the comment on the quad bike gang that went tearing through the tunnel on the way in making cars brake.

Also, the reason we were in Southbank was because the place we were supposed to be going looked like a dodgy shithole so we drove past and changed plans

I hear that Shania Law was instigated, but it didn't impress anyone much.

Low hanging fruit, I'll always pick it.

The EV charger wasn’t working yesterday, it was flashing a red thermal cutout warning. Useless in extreme heat and cold it seems like

Ours had a couple of days like that when it was over 35'. Did work ok then in the evening.

Just remembered that Tom Scott did a video on these many years ago.

It’s mad how it’s 35°C in my flat right now but that feels manageable compared to the other week because the humidity is lower. It’s also mad that 35 feels manageable.

And a new record has been set for the most days above 34°C in a year

Managed to get our bedroom down to 25° last night and for the first time in months slept right through to my alarm.

Definitely a nicer heat than the last heatwave, with a bit of a breeze too at times.

Our pool was a chillier 31 today. Wednesday it hit 35 degrees. I'm getting better at managing the heat in the house with the ACs and opening/closing windows at the right time. But I still think it'll put a ducted system in the next place.

We've been looking at these....alas anything that looked decent isn't cheap, so decided to just put the cash into the AC fund installed over winter.
