I'd say "very warm" was an appropriate description of the current
spell. The heat has a different feel from a day with an equal
temperature in July in that it is relatively short-lived, over by
6.30 pm and the altitude of the sun is much less, all contributing
to the general air of slightly weird. For once they've got it
right. As
John Hall says, "mild" is inappropriate, not to say downright
absurd. "Mild" means "not cold, not as cold as usual" and should
only be used November to March for daytime temperatures and
possibly another month each end for night-time.


Yes, the whole thing has a rather odd feel to it.
We've got weather presenters talking about temperatures pushing 30C
at 6 in the morning in pitch darkness..

Can't say I've heard that degree of populist exaggeration. Are you
sure you're telly's not tuned to Al-Jazeera?


Not sure what you are aiming at here.
At 6am at this time of year, it is totally dark.
