England is in a heatwave.
In England we don't have enough high temperature heat to justify AC in the home, although many cars have it.
109 deg F in the shade of my back yard patio, some kind of weather bubble over the U.S.
I guess you're more used to temperatures with a minus in in Calgary Eric?32C, cloudless skies, low humidity. Basically freaking hot.
I guess it makes little sense to answer this 8-year-old post.What's the weather doing where you are? Here in West Cornwall, England it's about 70F and raining quite hard.
Almost none Paul and this year is the longest hottest summer so far for forty-two years, I wish it would rain the temperatures here have been the same for many weeks and about the same as in the Carribean, some people like it but I've had enoughI always feel for those of you who are not use to high heat, those of us who live the desert are use to the heat, we have AC in the cars, have AC at home and work. What percentage of homes in the UK have AC?
We aren't used or prepared for extremes of weather in the U.K it's generally a temperate climate but if we have three or four sunny days in a row in the summer there are water shortages and hosepipe bans and in the winter after a few inches of snow the transport system grinds to a halt and the schools are closed, whatever kind of weather we have the authorities are always spectacularly unprepared and caught with their pants down.In Palm Springs it can be about 105F and it does not feel hot to me. Hotter than that and the swamp cooler (not A/C) comes on.
In western Washington the humidity is high (you people around Ohio, don't laugh). So, even at 85F, I have the A/C on.
Fantastic picture Theo, thanks for sharing it! I cycle to and from work and there've been some spectacular skies recently.This was two days ago. 9pm, 85F. Spot the Moon and Venus.

About 10 minutes later I made some photos with a Nikon F and Nikkor 500/8 on Ultramax 400.
