Hello , I see from the News Lincolnshire has now got the highest official temperature of 40.3 C today My greenhouse got up to 44.5 C today Currently sitting outside , it’s a pleasant 27.9 C
Less unpleasant here than yesterday when the outdoor temperature sensor got to 39.6, and apparently the airport (about 5 miles away) recorded 40. The wind is only mildly warm today rather than hot like a hairdryer on high. The forecast says a maximum of "only" 27C today around lunchtime and then cooling down, and a possibility if some rain around teatime but I'll believe that when I see it, as usual.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
I rather enjoyed the heat wave this week even though it was a bit unpleasant in the house. The weather changed dramatically and it's been chilly and overcast since Wednesday. We've been keeping all the windows open because the husband seems to have covid despite negative tests and I was freezing in bed last night.
