Title: Mega heat.
Post by: Shockwave on July 03, 2006
32 Degrees here in South Wales today, thing is the sun isn't even out, it's overcast, there's the odd flash of lightning here and there (has been all day) and the sky looks pregnant with fat meaty raindrops. No rain as yet but it tipped down all night last night (with lots of lightning but no thunder!) and it's so humid here you wouldn't believe it.
The computer got left on this morning and when I opened the door into this room I swear the heat hit me almost like walking into a bakery.

We really need a good storm here tonight. Mel was really freaked out by the lightning last night, she thought it was going to come in through the bedroom window and get her, she even got up to shut the curtains (as if that would stop it) and got too afraid to approach the window and came back to bed. I couldn't be bothered, I was just enjoying the light show!

It's still frigging hot now. What's so freaky about it is that the sun wasn't even out.
I remember when I went abroad to Bulgaria it was very hot, like about 35 degrees but it wasn't anything like as uncomfortable as this. It's the humidity that gets me!

Tell me about it, all weekend i've had to find some shade, as this is unbarrable. I lived in Spain for 2 Years, and it's much hotter there even the winters. But this humidity is what gets ya. I even worked in a very busy Kitchen that had all cylinders fireing, and it wasnt as near as hot as this.

I dredd to think what the weathers going to be like, if this global warming isnt dealt with some how. And fast. It's a shame that man is man's worst enemy.

Today isnt much better, I managed to borrow a fan with a cold setting on. But you can still feel the heat. It's around the same temp as where you are Shockie.

Cheers,
Clyde.

I think that if anything it's even worse here today. I'd rather be in one of those kitchens Clyde.
To make matters worse the dog has chewed a hole through a cupboard door  >:( For this, he will be shot at dawn.

Let's hope that they move out of the Pink Windmill, and Grottbags is still around too. I always remember that stupid song whenever the door bell rang and sneezed, "There's Somebody at the door, etc etc "

Yeah, and here sidekicks Croc and that golden robot man. I would of said Tin Man, but that's more wizard of Oz, and silver.

I always giggled when they were flying about on Her mechanical broom stick. hehehe.

Back about the heat and bizzarre weather for us Brits. There's now an electrical storm, it's nice to watch but I'd hate to be out and about in it.

Sack this frigging weather. I feel like the air I'm breathing is thick because of the heat.
I was meant to code some stuff tonight but I couldn't cope with the heat up here.
It peaked at about 33 Degrees here in Wales today, temp's going to get hotter as the week goes on.

I heard wild rumours that it may even get above freezing in parts of Southern Scotland!

Tell me about it. It's like Summer in Spain in Bucks today, mindboggling hot.
I saw Superman Returns today, and comming out of the Cinema, the unusually hot weather hits you like anything.
I don't know the exact temperature, but it must of been near the 40's ( degrees C )
I dredd to think what next years going to bring to our shores.

I am actually missing the heat now, there were only about 6 people in shorts at work today, I was one of them, I think I might have to reluctantly give them up before long, it was bloody cold this morning.

It's been like April Showers with Thunder for the past 4 weeks up in my neck of the woods. Near impossible to tell if the suns going to stay out, or if it's going to rain.
