Slightly IH related coda to my post yesterday, but it was Gosport that set the record for hottest June temperature recorded in the UK at 36.1 degrees C. Morbid congratulations to the crew, especially if you endured it in a 21oz Canadian tux.

@EdH Fortunately, Unit 21 is air conditioned these days!

I hate going to the mall with a passion. Had to pick up a bracelet for my wife because the boutique refuses to repair it without some ridiculous charge, but that’s a whole other story. I miss the days when luxury brands actually stood behind their products and either repaired them or just replaced them.

What I was really going to say is… malls are just weird. Maybe it’s because I walked in looking like I work at a service station in my SAXS short sleeve and fatigues. I thought I looked pretty dope, but the fact that I just said “pretty dope” probably means I don’t.

I heard about the recent heat wave. We'll be getting our first taste this coming week...

I fully anticipate at least 2 - 3 more waves like it before the summer ends. 🥵

No fun

[Brian]

Sorry
And I am I would be so much more happy with the above @Twistlock

[Twistlock]

Happy to send it your way @Brian

41°C in a traffic jam on the motorway—not exactly fun. At least the A/C is working.

[Chap]

@endo fuck… and I thought it’s hot here. On the way to the sea hopefully?

[endo]

No, we‘re stuck between Heilbronn and Manheim on our way to a family gathering. It‘s supposed to to be even 42° there (Rhine valley). It‘s just crazy.

[SKT]

@endo awful. Are these temps you’re experiencing record breaking?

[endo]

They already are.

[SKT]

Stay safe my friend

[tody]

38° outside... haven't left the house today as of yet. and no, a/c isn't a thing over here.

[SKT]

@tody honestly how do you stay cool? Do you use fans. I know this is a dumb American question but curious

[jdwaid]

41c is insanely hot. Hope you all stay safe.

[tody]

@SKT still just a hair below 30° inside. at least we have a fan blowing in the living room.

[SKT]

@tody we are coddled over here. My delicate sensibilities would not do well in that heat without a/c. Stay safe and hydrated…hope it breaks soon.

[ARNC]

It’s down to “just” 29°C here today but still feels grim. At least it’s almost over. Hope DE and AT aren’t far behind. 41°C is nuts.

Monday can’t come soon enough
