Well I have to say that subjectively this so called heatwave pales into nothingness when compared to hot weather of the past. Maybe its the humidity but I recall heatwaves where the sweat has poured of me as I sat there , in a bid to cool my temperature. I recall it so hot I've had to sleep with a wet towel over me and would have to have sat in a cold bath to just cool down.. Just got home from work and although I'm not a fan of hot weather I feel totally comfortable with these conditions. I 've just been talking to my mothers who remembers it far more sticky and uncomfortable in the late forties post war when she started work in Dulwich SE London and we both remember spells in the sixties, seventies (76. I remember the Wimbledon tennis final McEnroe v Conner's 1983

Record heat in London. Sorry I don't buy it. I noticed how the news also has its story line of showing France and Germany in apparent unbearably hot record breaking conditions as well. (Channel Five )|Nope the Paris AGW summit this autumn go figure https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/

I note the Heathrow record was announced by UKMO

Maybe its me and I've just gotten older and acclimatised to these conditions. I mean the Heathrow record can't be wrong
