Well it was boiling in Exeter today with 25-26C and strong sunshine.
However, got home at 1700 to 17C, a F4 WSW wind, and low stratus whizzing
across 100 feet above my head, fog at Postbridge BTW. Marvellous! I got out
of the car, ran down the garden, and waved my hands greeting the refreshing
wind and more tolerable temperature. Sweat evaporated rapidly off my brow
and now I feel cool and comfortable for the first time since this heatwave
began in what seems like ages ago. Windows are wide open to let in the fresh
Atlantic air and I shall sleep well tonight. I know a lot of people will be
regretting the end of this heat but for me it is bliss. Bring on the polar
air!
