Severe red heat warning.....

No amount of CO2 has created the hot air that's coming from Africa.

It's a lack of water and a lack of plants to absorb the suns energy.

Lots of water being pumped from deep underground and when that water is used - man sends it as fast as possible to the sea. Needs a rethink.
Yep. Boreholes are a quick way to disaster in my view. Robbing Peter to pay Paul.

111 advised that I took an Aspirin while they sent an ambulance. It arrived and asked to see what aspirin dose I had taken. Turns out that they went out of date in 2012, but is the icing on the cake in getting rid of the pain!
I’m at Banbury Hospital where they are checking bloods, but fairly certain that it was a very bad case of indigestion.
Hardly anybody here and no waiting, surprisingly!
i had bad indigestion or so i thought,pain then got worse and someone called a ambulance for me without me knowing.lucky they did as i was having a huge heart attack and ambulance just arrived in time with a diffib.

Despite the A&E being almost empty, the sign still says could be waiting 4 hours.
I my case, I’m waiting for Blood Test results.
My wife has just said that after 4 hours, they’ll probably say everything seems ok and we can go home, having sat here all that time.
I said “Even having waited all that time, everything seeming OK is what I’d prefer to hear, if you don’t mind!”

You'd be hooked up by now if it was serious

At least it can’t be my kit as it’s all back in the barn.

30 deg here at the moment. Just like yesterday. The met off says it’s 34 deg here at the moment. It isn’t, and there’s a decent breeze which means it’s not unpleasant. Wouldn’t want to be labouring hard but tinkering with the combine in the shed is not unpleasant. The Mrs has gone to the shops. Would have to be lot hotter than this to stop her!
It’s a serious though long term if this kind of weather is to be become the new normal. Where are the reservoirs etc? Where’s the plan? That’s a more serious matter in my view, as well as CO2 reduction .
31 C here in the shade and its hot enough. 36C forecast for tomorrow.
