Hi Dave
Very hot yesterday but it looks like we have had rain overnight,
we always get storms when it’s hot. It’s suppose to be a bit
cooler for a few days, then hot again.
Brighton gets quite busy when it’s hot, everyone flocks to the
city and beach area. Why the swim in the sea here is beyond me,
it’s so polluted !!
Southern water is one of the authorities who’s CEO will not get
a bonus because of the problems ( by law ) So they have to sort
things out

Hi Dave it's much cooler here today - 28c yesterday 20 C today.
There has been some light rain but warnings in place for heavy
rain and thunderstorms later. What sort of high temps do you
get? Most of our medicines etc say to keep below 25C but as the
days get hotter that's harder to do.

It's down to 20C here this morning. The temp fell dramatically
last night. The inside temp was 24.5 when i opened all the
windows and the back door at 8pm and dropped to 22 quite fast.
Weather warnings in place though for heavy rain although it's
missed us far.

Glad that you are cooling down a bit! I’m sure 20C must seem
quite cool now.
In our other house we got sun all around the house all day ,
from sunrise to sunset …and it got up to 30 degs plus! Add smoke
to that and it was hell on earth for a few days . Thankfully a
week was about the longest. June is usually cool and wet ( much
like your April ) in this house we have not yet been too warm
yet. Early days, as we haven’t had a summer here yet,
We don’t really have any garden here. My son in law has
onions and raspberries growing, but they are not much fun to
look at , so we have three big planters of bright flowers to
cheer us up. I really miss gardening. But this was the right
move.

It's been hot here too lately. The highs are 34 to 37 C. I
have two air conditioners both upstairs in windows of bedrooms.
It works rather well. The cool air goes down the steps and the
warm air rises; so downstairs is very comfortable. Even if I
cook, the hot air goes up and the cool air goes down quite
nicely. I keep all the windows closed all the time and shut out
the sun. The house is quite old -- about 200 years old. It would
cost a small fortune to install central air. It's what is called
a "row house" here. Some houses are attached on both sides; but
mine is attached on only one. That saves money in heating, for
sure; and it probably helps keeping it cooler in summer.
Cold weather bothers me more than hot so I've kept working in
the yard with no problem.

My house is almost 100 years old and built to keep the heat in.
I don't like hog weather outside 22 is best and I like to keep
the inside at 21.

I get the sun all day too Helen. My front faces north east so
sun in the morning from sunrise till about 11am and then in the
back south west facing from 11am till sunset. I have a tall fan
but haven't used it yet even though I brought it down from
upstairs just in case.
My red peonies have suffered from both the heat and the heavy
rain but my lovely hydrangea Limelight has loads of flowers
coming on it and they'll be out in a few days.
