A pleasant 74F in western Washington, looking at an almost full Moon rising in the early summer light blue sky.

I 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?

In England we don't have enough high temperature heat to justify AC in the home, although many cars have it.

Once the coastal fog melted off this morning, it got to a warm 71F (21.6C). Now at 4pm, a breeze and a cooler 66F (19C) and I am looking forward to watching the moon rising this evening from my back deck....along with developing 4 rolls of 120 (2 each of Acros and FP4+) sometime along the way. Off to the west, it looks like some fog is forming, but it generally holds off coming the 5 miles inland until early morning.

When Lotus began selling the Elise in the U.S. in 2005, they quickly received complaints from buyers on the west coast: the shape of the glass headlight enclosure focused the Sun's rays onto the headlight surround and burnt a distinctive series of lines into it. Lotus eventually solved this by installing a shroud in the headlight assembly.

In the years prior to selling in the U.S., apparently there was never a long enough period of sunlight in England to reveal the problem.

The best car AC I ever had was in an Audi S4. On a 100+ degree day, I swear I could make it snow inside.

109 deg F in the shade of my back yard patio, some kind of weather bubble over the U.S.

85F in W. Washington. Not too humid, though. Nice blue sky, nice clouds.

No one spotted with a camera today.

80 deg F, and has been so for weeks, and forecast for at least another two weeks, we haven't had heatwave like this in the U.K for many years and we aren't prepared for it, as we always aren't when encountering extremes of weather hot or cold since Britain generally has a temperate climate.

The fog is hanging out a little longer than usual in Blue Lake (6 miles inland) this morning, so at 11am it is a nice 65F, humidity at 64%. Some clouds will also keep the temps down. Elsewhere in California; hot and dry with fires from one end of the state to the other.

Time for some rock-work out in the yard.

11:30 -- dang! waited too long...sun creeping out...already 70F!
2pm -- first section of rockwork done. Temps peaked at 77F. Some ice tea and I'll finish up!

Hot today for a change from the normally year round spring like weather. Oh well.

32C, cloudless skies, low humidity. Basically freaking hot.
I guess you're more used to temperatures with a minus in in Calgary Eric?:wink:

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

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 enough

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.

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.

Fantastic picture Theo, thanks for sharing it! I cycle to and from work and there've been some spectacular skies recently.

We had a week of monsoon rains, I didn't a lot about a 1/2 inch, but just a couple of miles north and south they got 1 to 3 inchs. Northern AZ got hit really hard. Temps are back on the rise, should be 110 to 113 by the weekend.
