For over a fortnight the temperature in the study has failed to drop below 82°F (which it turns out, is 28°C - one of the few easily memorable conversions between feet & inches and metres). This does not please me and I went through a period of staring at the thermometer, willing the temperature to fall by the power of my mind. I do not take it too harshly that I failed; I only have a 15 watt brane after all.

As we ended the second week of this ludicrous heat, I decided that the thermometer must be broken, so to satisfy myself on the point, I hid it in the soda fridge we keep in the room.

When I removed it an hour later, it told me that the fridge was an acceptable 38°F and probably lower if I left it a while longer. So the thermometer is not broken. It real;lIS hotter than Hades in here - even with the fan going 14 to the dozen behind me.

Roll on Autumn.

The upstairs of my house seems to be generally warmer than the downstairs.

Curse you, loft insulation grants!

Where, in stark contrast, just a couple of hundred miles north, I was so cold last weekend that I nearly turned the heating back on!

Try freezing a big bottle of water and putting it in front of said fan, creates a kind of air-con cool flow of air!! :-)

Possibly moving the fridge might help - they generate a lot of heat.

Good job your brane is only 15 watt. It's not adding to the heat output.

Why is it so hot in there?

It's been hot everywhere in the SE for weeks. Everything is wilting and melting, including the people. I imagine it's even hotter and muggier in London because it always is, but it's been pretty boiling here.

Really? Blimey! Can you send some of that weather this way? It's just wet here.

It was 2C in Tynedale the other week. Meanwhile, here it was 110F last weekend. The moral of the story seems to be that wherever I lived, it is uncomfortable weather. Presumably there are storms in Oxford and a 100-year drought in Clapham.
