well up here in Cumbria have had x10 days over 21c - something seems
to be wrong there, Cumbria warmer than Devon!

Will lives up in the clouds on Dartmoor. Here in my part of lowland
Devon we have had 36 days so far this year that have been warmer than
21°C. Hold on, make that 37 days (currently 22°C and climbing).

agree though about not wanting it too hot - 19-20c would do me fine.
you don't want heat to make you feel lethargic.

Ha! You sound like Will. For a lowlander like me, 19°C-20°C just is a
tad on the cooler side of OK. Prefer the mid-20s to really enjoy doing
summer outdoor things like swimming in the sea, luckily we get a few of
those too, 14 days so this year with a temperature 25°C.

Last year saw 28 days 25°C, before the weather took a turn for the
worse from mid-July onwards. A sign of how cool the summer has been so far.

(12:00), 22.2°C, RH 60%, DP 14.0°C, 1023 hPa, Wind calm.
