Just leaving this here
"In the Philippines they have lovely screens to protect you from the glare
"In the Malay states they have hats like plates that the Britishers won't wear!
"At 12 noon the Locals swoon and no further work is done,
"But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun!" - Noel Coward #UKHeatwave
UK heatwaves are some of the most confortable and joyous times for me. It’s so nice to look outside and see the sun shining in a place that’s usually so gloomy, to be able to wear shorts and sandals, or simply walk outside barefoot, to be able to hang out outside or go to the beach or river without worrying about extra clothes. Plus I never burn this far north, so I don’t even have to worry about sunscreen. #heatwave #ukheatwave #lovinglife

Tonight it is 14°c that’s as low as it gets here overnight, strange oppressive humidity and waves of heat going through house, sweat pouring out of us. Son is making good use of the electric fan, no one sleeps tonight because of heat and humidity. Cats are little worn out from heat we are all coping ok with it, expect this is the case throughout UK stay hydrated all. #UKHeatwave
Cat is done with this heat. A small flying thing has flown in through an open window and any time it ventures near her, the lack of effort she puts into trying to swipe at it is utterly comical. 😾😹

My water supplier, @stwater@twitter.com, has been sending messages telling people to use less water in the #UKHeatwave.
As a result, my neighbours have been worried about using water on days so hot, they're a national emergency.
Let me tell you some things about Severn Trent. 🧵
Office is too hot so we've shut up shop and are now WFH.
WFH beer FTW! #UKHeatwave

I feel like all the non-UK people laughing at us Brits for our struggles in the heat don’t understand WE. DONT. HAVE. AC.
Our walls are 16th century insulated refurbished beheading stones and our carpets are Egyptian cotton triple woven threads.
THIS IS HELL 🔥☀️

It's only lunch and Walton on Thames is already at 38 C, not sure if this is an officially counted measurement but that is only 0.7 C off the UK all time record and there are a few hours of heating yet today. #UKHeatwave

Reminder for type 1 diabetics to keep your insulin and insulin pens cool! It stops working well at above 25C!
Keeping it in the fridge is best, but you can also get cooling bags and pouches for going out, or use an ice pack.

I'm afraid you're all going to have to toot loudly today - my ears have literally been burnt off the side of my head. #ukheatwave
