This song reminded me of my least favorite thing about living in Arizona.
Seems as far out as it was when that was uttered in the show.
Down south in Iberia we are supposed to be used to very hot summers, but this one is hideous. It´s not strange that we get 35 or more degrees during the day and for hours, what has changed is the fact that by night, temperatures do not get below 24 degrees (if you´re lucky!), hence, you do not rest well. When this happens for almost a month, you feel worn down all day long. Drough is the other issue, and considering the importance of agriculture, is a massive problem.second wave of heatwave again . 31c outside . 27.4c indoors and no way listening to any movie or music in the THX cinema today even with air conditioner on . the system rack would put the temperature in the room over 31c . by night around 30c with hot warm weather .
my kitty cats are getting plenty of water-treats that is the biscuit treats in the bowl with water added so they lap up the water then have the treats .
next week maybe cloudy with some rain , oh , i welcome it .
I'm up in the hills and it's not too bad here, 28C outside due to rise to 31C.Down south in Iberia we are supposed to be used to very hot summers, but this one is hideous.

If this happens in a land used to dry and hot, I cannot really fathom how bad you´re enduring it up in the UK. Nothing over there is meant for sustained, massive heat. Stay safe Andy (and all the other guys up in the Islands!), heat kills and I have been a witness to it.
all the above you mentioned . it drains one and last few days felt so weak , poorly i could barely walk around indoors . i have mini water usb fan next to the bed to blow cool breeze to take few degrees off . it's about 27c in the bedroom . 30c or fraction over in the THX home cinema room . 30c + in the kitchen with amplifiesDown south in Iberia we are supposed to be used to very hot summers, but this one is hideous.

odd that scottland is cooler then it is further up north , then they get it even colder in winter at times . and london with all the traffic that raises heat up extra few c .I'm up in the hills and it's not too bad here, 28C outside due to rise to 31C.
25.5C indoors (no aircon). London is currently 31C and due to rise to 34C, heat island effect I suppose.
It's only for a couple of day, Monday is a lot cooler and normal service resumes on Tuesday (rain, wind, a bit chilly in the shade or when the clouds go across the sun).
I´m not sure what is worse, the traffic or the massive amount of glass (reflective surface) and concrete (absorving surface). The lack of wind aggravates it even further and that does indeed decrease the quality of air.odd that scottland is cooler then it is further up north , then they get it even colder in winter at times . and london with all the traffic that raises heat up extra few c .
I long since gave up on trying to make sense of our stupid weather. You can have a balmy summer day then out of nowhere a hailstorm of biblical proportions. All four seasons in one day? Not unusual. Plus the classic pattern of great sunny weather on the weekdays when you're stuck in work and then cold and raining all weekend.odd that scottland is cooler then it is further up north , then they get it even colder in winter at times . and london with all the traffic that raises heat up extra few c .

Actually, an environmental pricing strategy would do exactly the oppostie, as did the Dutch government a few years ago, when it raised the tax on natural gas for heating, and lowered the tax on electricity, thus incentivizing the change from gas for domestic heating to electric heat pumps.it we are once again being conned by the environmental lobby.
Far too sensible for the UK.Actually, an environmental pricing strategy would do exactly the oppostie, as did the Dutch government a few years ago, when it raised the tax on natural gas for heating, and lowered the tax on electricity, thus incentivizing the change from gas for domestic heating to electric heat pumps.
There's various explanations if you google it but none make any sense to me. I suspect we are being robbed at least to some extent.Can anybody enlighten me? From the 1st, October the maximum charge per kWhr will in the UK be 10.3P for gas and 34.0p for electricity. If it’s the price of gas driving up energy prices, then why is gas around 70% cheaper. Is it we are once again being conned by the environmental lobby.
Privitisation of our utilities has been a bad joke, it’s a parody of capitalism. Private companies invest their own money and get a revenue stream from their investments. If they need to borrow money to invest they make a case to lenders and if it’s deemed viable money is made available. Not so with our privatised utilities as an example when BT announced the rollout of fibre optics. They had County Councils bid for priority Suffolk County Coucil paid around £40 million to get on the list, when they don’t have enough money for their statutory obligations. BT get an enhanced revenue stream, they can call it what they want. I call it extortion.There's various explanations if you google it but none make any sense to me. I suspect we are being robbed at least to some extent.
If we'd gone nuclear then we wouldn't be in this mess so you could blame the environmental lobby for that I suppose, along with successive governments.
Also privatising water and power was not a good move from the consumer's point of view but I don't think we'll ever see re-nationalisation.
Totally agree.Privitisation of our utilities has been a bad joke, it’s a parody of capitalism.
