Stay safe folks!
I have a cardigan on at the moment, but it was distinctly chilly at 6 a.m. All windows, doors and shutters open, veg watered but I'll shut everything up soon and pray that our usually windy garden does its job.

Up and out for my walk at 5:30 this morning - lovely breeze not cold not warm just lovely. Came back all windows & shutters thrown wide. Temp indoors read 80F after opening everything it dropped back to 76.6. However I've been watching it creep up and at the moment it's at 78.6 so I shall be closing up again very soon - still watching the temp rising on my meteo station is keeping me occupied whilst in the dark

At 10H this morning our house temperature is 28 degrees (86 F), it's gonna be a scorcher

@manonthemoon2 I've now got 3 cold hot water bottles in the fridge and I'm considering damping some towels and hanging them over the windows that are open at the moment - don't know if it will work but it's something I read on how to cool hot air coming into the house - worth a try and costs nothing as I'm saving my pot water at the moment! Stay safe & protected everyone

I went for the walk at 5.45 and it was 18° on my poolside thermometer which faces North, I’ve just checked it after cleaning the pool and it’s already 34°. All my windows and most of the shutters are now closed, it’s 27°+ in the house so my portable Qlima will be in operation soon.

28,6 degrees in the house currently (everything closed / shut). Not even a tiny breeze outside. I'm glad I don't have to do anything outside today. Husband had a tennis match scheduled for 18h00. That's been moved to 19h00.

It's currently about 37C outside and 24.5C in the house.

I'll soon take horse feeds down and see if the boys need hosing down yet. If not, I'm sure it won't be long before they'll appreciate a nice, cold shower.

For those who get up early, do you nap during the day? Just wondered

Yes - starting to flag now ...... so any time soon will be taking 40 winks in the cool end room downstairs (built into the hill, so is half-cave!)
