The Weather

Snap! (goes the Big Red Switch);

40C in the UK? That's nuts!! Where is the heat coming from? I know a lot of your warmth comes from the Gulf Stream, which originates just offshore from where I used to live. But it never (that I know of) gets to 40C on the Florida Gulf coast.
 
It is the bare ground that got left behind after it all got burned off over the past two years while we had no shade from aircraft trails.
The bare ground heats up more quickly.
We had the smoke cover when it was burning. There is less to burn this year.
There is still no aircraft trails because the baggage handlers discovered that they could work for internet shopping companies for the same money and rent a house for less than a tower block flat near an airport just down the road from there new work places.
It has sent out weather crazy.
 
I have never known a situation like this! 😕

Even the Horses are refusing to run in the extreme heat!

5 meetings called off!

Five race meetings on Monday and Tuesday have been cancelled because of the forecasted extreme heat.

Monday's meets at Beverley and Windsor have been cancelled, as have Tuesday's fixtures at Chelmsford City, Southwell and Wolverhampton.
Temperatures could hit 40C in parts of the country next week and the Met Office has issued a red warning level.

The British Horseracing Authority said the courses fell "either within the warning area or are situated nearby".

I thought Global Warming was a gradual process. It is worse than that. 😱
