Lawks, crumbs and ai caramba. I don’t like this weather, not one little bit.
When we came into work, it was cool and humid, but warming. It was hot and humid on the tube and now, although I am in an air conditioned office, I am warm, though not sticky. Outside the sun is shining and temperatures are forecast to get into the upper twenties at least until Thursday. I’m never sure what the upper twenties are in proper heat, but I am pretty sure it’s a miserable number. Actually, as I think on it, last time I grumbled about this sort of thing, I seem to recall that![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ladkyis pointed out that 28°c equates to 82°f, which seems about right, though my ability to differentiate temperatures between say, 70°f and 95°f is noticeable. They are all uniformly too hot. Anything above that and it enters the single temperature range of Hell, which sees Our Hero veer from total lethargy to hair trigger irritability.
Everyone knows that August is not the time to be in London and here we are with an entire month of it to come. At least there’s a bank holiday available at the end of it, but even that sees the Notting Hill Festival, which despite being way, way across the other side of the city, tends to mean that the West End gets filled with people taking a breather from it and so it’s just too busy to make it worth leaving the immediate area around the house. In years gone by, I would vacate the capital during the festival.
Still, we have a fortnight off, soon, commencing with a long weekend in Edinburgh. I’m told it’s a beautiful city, if small and full of Scots.
