its 1 15 am now and 34 celcius in room (all windows open)

cem, that is the thing that gets me in hot weather. I reckon anything over 26 deg C in bedroom is useless for sleep. Good luck with your 34 deg C.

I used to think it was very quaint that the Spanish have a little sleep (siesta) in the afternoon but it is so hard to get enough sleep each day as the best time for working (early mnorning ) is also the best coolest time for trying to sleep.

finally some clever person understand that working hours design is big stupidy in summer especially in hot countries.. 
 
now I came from outside, its averaging 41-42 degrees .. rooms in work all have AC but no ones working   half of them is in summer vacation and half is in sleep mode.. as its ramadan time people fasting (I'm not) , so sleepless hungry and thirsty (I'm not, they say I'll burn in hell- what hell here is already hell anyway ) in that hot weather..   and besides dont let me sleep also..

roll on the winter hate this weather

 

I dont think its too bad with this cool breeze today although its going to be hotter 31deg apparently  much like cem's winter heat 

now take my attention.. this summer no mosquito around.. hehe.. they must have died from hot

They all flew over here to cool off  loads of them here at least i think they are mosquito , making that high buzzing noise in your ear at night

we have nets in all windows but nowadays pretty useless as no mosquito around

I thought it was pretty hot outside yesterday .. until I got to the hotel room in Solihull. Fark me, it was like sitting in a sauna all night; zero airflow, no aircon, no fan. At one point I had cold, wet towels all over me and I was sweating like a whore in a nunnery.

Good job I wasn't trying to make a good impression on my (relatively new) girlfriend or anything..

here all hotels have AC or they cant get working licence..

That's exactly how I'd describe my condition on arriving at the gliding club last night (7.5 miles in this heat by bicycle - what was I thinking?).

Luckily, the first job was winch driving, and the cabs are air conditioned.

I'd imagine that gliding conditions improve in hot weather Kevin? Better thermals?

Working above the drivers pedals today. Left the kick panel on the seat.

On re fitting, I could barely touch the kick panel it was that hot.

No such rule here, sadly.. worse still, the corridor outside the room was a good 5C cooler and much more pleasant. Still, we drove around with the roof down on the M3 half the night, anyway (And the other half we spent doing things that would have got us kicked out if we'd propped the room door open.. )

Speaking of, having been for a drive around town today (Chris, I know what you mean about interior trim, I think my palms are still stuck to the steering wheel) I've decided I like this weather - all the pretty girls appear wearing next to nothing.

'course I live in Bracknell, so most of them are 14 and pushing a pushchair...

Yes and no, it's quite a fickle thing.

Yes, you need heat to generate thermals and we have plenty of that at the moment. You also need an atmosphere that is unstable enough that convection can take place readily and, ideally, that allows thermals to condense into cumulus cloud at a good height, so you have a nice cloud marking the location of each thermal.

I haven't been watching the weather that closely recently but prolonged high pressure such as we currently have tends to stabilise the atmosphere to the extent that we have weaker thermals not making it up into cooler air where condensation takes place, so blue skies with little clue where the thermals are.

Or.. there are those of us who are simply glad it's stopped raining.

The weather can't be that bad. it was good enough yesterday for our Deputy Chief Flying Instructor to get into a spot of bother.

Saw that on the news... I trust he's OK?

[Kevin Wood]

Yes, he got a minor bump on the head, other pilot landed his glider nearby.

'One of them looked a bit mangled' a bit? It's got a tree growing out of it glad no harm done though the last glider crash over our way was fatal

Trooser's back on .... a sharp cooling breeze but sun is still shining , this is just right

21deg and sunny , you can still get burnt if you wish to sit in it ... never have liked sitting in sun to burn 
Last night was really muggy and resorted to sleeping naked with aid of cooling fan

40+ degrees and boiling   if you try to have sunburn, the only thing you will get is charcoal
 
and I lost the count of how many times I get sick from fans and AC only this month

besides , home keeps hot inside until very late hours so my wife started to cool the home by the help of a hose in every 2-3 hours
