Humidity will be key, today so much more pleasant than yesterday as not only a bit cooler but fresher and a breeze too, dry heat not humid.

Looks like we'll peak at 23 degrees on Tuesday next week. What are you lot down south expecting?

I think I would be buying a big fan or two. Ordered one for indoors while they are still in stock.

We’ve gone mad and I’m trying to get air con fitted to keep the dog kennels cool

Could count on one hand the number of days this summer we have scraped over 20.

Looking like mid twenties for a couple of days over the weekend.

It’s going to be cold and wet!

I’m going to The Port with the wife and cubs this weekend for our annual week long fight.

Sorry I meant “holiday “.

Sat out to eat tea last night,7pm, had to retreat indoors as it was too cold with the breeze.

Dull, overcast and a high of around 15 if we are lucky. Think the heatwave will pass us by again!

It’s forecast for 33 degrees here on Tuesday, which is interesting as the highest recorded temperature in Scotland is 32 degrees (at Greycrook, St Boswells, 2003).

You think it’ll be cooler for them in a paddock with some shade than crammed in the cow shed?

In hot weather,cattle always seek out those parts of the fields that get the most breeze,and not necessarily the most shaded.

We’ve had a little flush of mastitis over the last few days, I can’t think what else it could be but the weather?

 

[Spudley]

We did too after the last hot days, it is definitely possible.

I've been looking at those elecriq units, how easy/ difficult to fit? For someone used to working with pipes, copper, fittings etc. I understand they are ready flared compression fittings. Thanks
