        I heard it raining at 1 o’clock. Checked the butts, just 0.2l per sqm. But it’s always surprising how plants open their flowers when they get a few drops of rain.
        Currently 19c, will go up to 31-33c. Sky is covered with thin clouds, but sun will show its full force from midday on.

          The BBC is in full-fear mode this morning. "The oven-like summer continues" and "there will be DEATHS"!

          FGS! It is a perfectly normal summer's day. We get a few hot-ish (it is all relatively) days per yr. Get a grip!

          Sunny and still here. A pleasant morning.

            Cloudy at the moment and 21c. Not sure if we had much rain, but the patio looks damp.

            Going up to 31c and full sun.

            It does smell Autumnal some mornings and some birds sound different. It may be a wren.

                      It was cloudy with a little breeze first thing but now the sun has broken through you can feel it’s going to be a hot one. Curtains now closed. I’ll potter outside for another half hour then retreat indoors, although the car air-con is tempting…

                            Already 30C and hardly a breath of air. Next door's cat is under our very large Hydrangea.

                            In the shade near the end of the garden it is bearable but the microclimate around our main lawn is showing 34C in the shade. Being polite, and to quote the song from 'Kiss Me Kate' (musical written by Cole Porter in 1948):- It's too darn hot!

                              It look glorious looking out the window ... but it has reached 40c. Both Van and Munch have been inside for a few hours, lying on the cool tiled floor, as they did yesterday morning.

                              It appears Central Portugal is being blessed by some rain ...

                                Been raining on & off all morning which was a bit of a surprise. Still very warm though and the sun is now starting to break through.
