London forecast has increased to 40ºC on Monday
and a Red Heat Warning
There must have been some in the past but I don't recall such severe warnings before, or for such a duration.
I got to see the moon last night, very clear and bright (if not as much as the night before, but had cloud here then), bright enough to be awkward to look directly at. Went to the coast to view, aside from it looking epic the other good sight was the number of foreign motorhomes
I haven't seen that many about for a long while (as a non-local who visits irregularly). At the second spot (
https://www.google.com/maps/@51.0709477 ... 56!5m1!1e1) the moon was along the lines of the sun in the streetview*, with similar reflected light across the water. No street lights along the front there but it wasn't dark, just black and white.
*If you turn round, where the bushes and undergrowth are, pretty much as far along the road as you can there (up until the golf course
), is going to be built on, including the road right up to the coast path. They've already cleared lots of the land and they've just installed grey boarding all the way from the buildings next to the petrol station up to the golf course. The grey bleakness of the boarding is suitably faceless and dystopian.
