The Weather Is Coming

[ailbhe]

Today, it was overcast, with a max of 27C.

The clouds are going. It's going to be unrelieved sunshine, usually 28C, dropping no lower than 15C at night.

15C is my "comfortable room temperature". 18-20 is warm.

OK, this has happened every year since I've moved to the UK; several weeks of unbroken hot sunny weather. And the worst was Linnea's first summer, when she was too young for sunscreen and the house never got below 27C for two weeks. But this year, it's coinciding with my being 7 months pregnant.

I think we might be going out to the supermarkets a lot. They have aircon. We have lots of south-facing windows.

In June/July 2003 I went nocturnal for the same reasons. 4-8am was an exceptionally nice time to be out on the lawn reading (our living room/bedroom faces south-west) and 8-9pm was when it usually started to get bearable in the evening. 24 hour supermarkets and the internet were a godsend for getting Stuff done, and during the hottest hours I had fans running, thick curtains drawn across the windows, and no clothes on if I could help it.

smallclanger was born on the one rainy day between two bouts of heat, and was 10 days old for the 'hottest recorded day ev-uh'. He wore a nappy and a muslin for much of his first month.
