Sounds like it. I was sat out the back at lunchtime eating me pasty and listening to the plaintiff cry of the seagulls. Sweating me little bits off it was so hot.

after being told to expect fantastic weather in august, me and a few mates off the lexus owners forum organised a lexus meet at haigh hall in wigan for 19th august, which then opened up to japanese cars of many kinds, and the turn out was expected to be 160 cars which ended up being 120 but still great, and a few trade stands and a charity raffle, and all through august the weather was fantastic up until last thurdsay til last sunday (event day) when it absolutely belted it down non-stop.. typical! I was marshalling so i was there from 7am for the set-up til 4:45 when the cars had left, and i had no shelter!

then monday arrives and its fantastic weather again, been very hot all week!
