We were on holiday in Suffolk and Cambs during last week’s hot spell. Reached the max on Tuesday 19th when it was 41c in Peterborough. Thought it might be a bit cooler by the coast, so drove to Hunstanton on the Norfolk coast, but it was still 39c there.
On Sunday 17th we had got caught up on the M14 in a gigantic traffic jam, thanks to an accident further up. It took over an hour to move about 2 miles. I was in the front passenger seat with car window down: it was 37c then, so II got a well fried left arm!
