Last night I was deeply asleep when I woke suddenly with the impression that a bucket of water had been thrown on me.
Then I quickly got up and crossed the wet floor to close the large window which was letting in all the rain in the whole world.

Hot. Getting up to 31c they reckon. Worked outside for as long as I could but that’s it now.

29° here at the moment and sunny. There is a breeze so it's nice in the shade.

Somewhat overcast here & only supposed to get up to 76f/24c, so that's nice.
It rained like hell last night. It was so loud that it woke me up, which meant I got up to close the window.

It was very hot here yesterday, more comfortable today.
The heat and humidity has meant that I'm taking a 'nanna-nap' most afternoons. On the bed under the ceiling fan...bliss. Jeffers is slightly horrified (altho he nods off on the sofa)

We had a few hot days then an overnight storm brought down temperatures (18° this morning), winds and clouds.

Cloudy but humid this morning.
I find an afternoon nap absolutely vital..

So far we are having a nice summer. Temps in the mid to high 20s, occasional rain to keep gardens green.

I spoke too soon: anywhere from 35 to 40° forecast here for the next few days. There was a bit of thunder and rain during the night but not very much, so this morning it's 22°.

Yesterday it was sunny and 37° here, today is supposed to be hot again, then cool down a bit tomorrow. No rain any time soon though.

A chilly 29 to the north of London

It was only 28° here at the hottest time of the day. Better than the 37 we had last Friday.

Dull, cloudy and very humid. Unpleasant.

Temperatures will drop below 40 C today for a few days. Mind you, it'll still be 38 or 39. I'm doing very little outside after late morning.

That makes 2 of us even though I’m not up at your level. So humid today.

My racist biological father had an expression for what happens to me in this muggy weather: "ssweatng like a nigger whore in church."

This weekend it was so hot and humid and our air conditioner broke! The repairman came this afternoon and thankfully a line was just plugged and he was able to blow it out and it is working perfectly again. We thought for sure we would have to replace it, instead it cost $220.00 for the service call and repair. Now the weather has really cooled! But we will surely need it again before summer comes to an end.

Horrible weekend predicted here: 35 to 40° on Saturday and Sunday. I shouldn't really complain this year because it has generally been not too bad, but it hasn't rained for nearly a month. Sometimes I wonder why I try to improve my garden.

Bjd, you are so right about how discouraging hot, rainless weather can be. We can keep things from dying by watering with the hose, but they don't thrive that way. When we had that extended heat dome earlier this year, putting seeds or nursery plants in the ground was just an exercise in plant murder.

They're threatening Paris with a short heat wave, but it has not yet arrived. It would be nice if it didn't happen before the final day of the Olympics.

At the moment (5:30pm) it's 35° and sunny here. A bit of wind but it's like using a hairdryer. Worse tomorrow then it is supposed to drop a bit on Monday. We may even get some rain next week.

Nearly 6pm and the temperature is beginning to drop: 39.8°C, down a tenth of a degree in the past hour. Sometimes the northern half of France is lucky. I think it's supposed to be hot in Paris tomorrow and high temps are worse in cities than in greener areas.
