Is it as hot, where you are?

It is blooming hot here. It was at least 35C here in the south of England.

It's been very hot and dry here in BC temperatures have been between 27 and 30 Celsius on the coast. Lightning storms passed across BC the other day and that's resulted in forest fires. There have been hundreds already and summer has only just begun! Add to this record low snow levels in the mountains last winter and we are facing drought conditions! I've got fans going and to add to the joy there have been not one but two cougars in the area! So until we are sure that they have either been caught or have moved on we have to keep the doors and windows closed between dusk and dawn which doesn't help with the heat!

Garden thermometer here on Ilkley moor is showing 31c. For anyone who is not familiar with Ilkley, it's in Yorkshire and 20c is what we call hot around here, shirts come off and shorts go on when it hits 18c everyone is hogging the rooms with ac, wish I had ac in bedroom, the night's when these temperatures really hit you.

A bit warmish here too, at the moment...
Hottest time of day here is 4 in the afternoon, local time (CET).

Where I live we'll get up to 110 sometimes in the summer months.

Try living in Phoenix Az for a while in the summertime.

It may not seem that hot to someone who is used to living in a hot dry climate but when you are used to the cool moist climate of a temperate rain forest it feels very hot to us. And to make things much worse there is now a forest fire burning about 26km from here. No homes are threatened at the moment but it's grown considerably since last night.
