Default Heat wave :-)

It hit 40.3 here at 3pm today in SW France (Charente) - too hot for my
little seedlings.

Anyone struggling to cope with the heat yet?


yes, Saturday's summer fete and then 2 hours of fruit picking on the
allotment yesterday and I feel lightly roasted.

Despite the warnings from the BBC the highest predicted temperature for
us
today is 20C which is much the same as the last two weeks.


Our 2nd greenhouse was up to 100 yesterday, before I thought to open the
door!



Cold and overcast here yesterday but a scorcher today already. Almost
unbearable outside now, @ 10.o'clock!!! What's it going to be like later?
Just heard forecast and it looks like 31 degrees :-((

Yesterday was misty all day on the South East Coast of the Isle of Wight
because we are so close to the sea, BUT, I expect further North, they
would have had sunshine.
