Well I've done my numbers, all collected from my garden. I'm pleased that they generally tally very well with the numbers at the Bude meteorological station, three miles away, bearing in mind that the Bude one is coastal at sea level (just about) and that mine is half a mile inland, much more sheltered and is 120 feet above sea level (safe from the worst tsunami that the Bristol Channel can throw at us!)

Our average maximum for July was over four degrees Celsius above the 30-year average, 23.4C as opposed to 19.3C.

The bulk of the UK has had the driest July ever recorded (records go back to the 1830s). We've also had the highest-ever recorded temperatures, with 46 recording stations beating the UK record that was set only three years ago. The UK beat its record by 1.6C and Bude beat its own record (set in 1976) by 3.7C and the all-time Cornwall record by 2.1C (smashing the Devon record to boot).

Every county needs its resident meteorological geek... ;-)

We had 12mm of rain in July (under half an inch), our average being 71mm (just under three inches). Every month this year so far has had below-average rainfall. I haven't totted up my numbers yet, but the average maximum temperature for July was well over 3C above the average. We had three days above 30C, which is a vanishingly rare event here, including our record-destroying 36C on the 18th. I can't record sunshine hours but I give each day a score out of five, five being a day with almost, or completely, unbroken sunshine. I have still to total up those numbers too, but it's been a pretty sunny month. The month fizzled out with two days of murk, drizzle and mugginess. Sun's out again today!

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!

Well we got a brief shower yesterday morning then the sun beamed out for the rest of the day and we got 29C. In a typical summer of the past that would have been our hottest day. Yesterday, 34 recording stations beat the UK temperature record, and the hottest spot beat it by 1.6 degrees C. That was Coningsby at 40.3C.

We've had less than a quarter of an inch of rain here in Bude since late June, and we've had a lot of hot, sunny, windy weather that has parched everything. It doesn't feel much like our Cornwall climate. There's hardly any rain in our forecast for the foreseeable future.

It's been hovering at 35.8C for over an hour (it's 4.25 as I post this). That's three and a half degrees C higher than Bude's previous all-time record high. That's a scary statistic: usually, records are broken by skinny little fractions of a degree...

It's 36C (96.8F) here in my village in Norfolk. The sun is very strong. I feel so sorry for all the workers, teachers and even the schoolchildren. My husband has just rung me. He's held up in his car on the way to his afternoon/evening cleaning job due to roadworks and a diversion. Imagine sweeping floors and cleaning toilets, plus towing heavy wheelie bins around in this heat! Luckily his hay fever is over and he's quite alright in the heat.
I do hope people have made provision for all their animals. Rabbits in hutches, dogs chained to a kennel etc.
Early this morning my shepherdess neighbour erected a huge canopy to shelter her sheep from the hot sun, and has ensured they have plenty of water in several troughs.

With the small increase of temperature the atmosphere can hold 4 times the water which is bad news for floods. Also drought conditions can/have worsened which is bad news for wild fires.

In the US over the last 5 years the disaster costs have increased 10 billion dollars year after year. There will come a time when insurance money and/or tax money can no longer maintain current relief response.

This morning the temperature has shot up from an overnight low of 12.6C to 26C by 10.15. The Widemouth Bay Doctor* (aka the sea breeze) normally kicks in from the west during late morning to knock the temperature rise on the head, but there's a stiff E. breeze this morning that should fight it off. At this rate the Bude all-time record high of 32.3C could be busted, if not today, tomorrow.

Here in Bude we had a pleasant 23C today, though the humidity was at 74%. The sun has blazed at UV8, as on many days recently, and the factor 30 on my thinning pate was very welcome. We've had several holidays in southern Spain in recent years, in Almería province, in Granada and in Córdoba, and we've had 40C a number of times. One day we went to the spaghetti western town in the Tabernas desert. The big difference from the UK on almost every occasion was that the humidity was in single numbers. That's easy to cope with, as long as you can find a coffee bar with big umbrellas up...

Hell's Front Porch right now here in Texas. We're going to break some kind of heat record again this year. In 2011 there were 72 days over 100o; in 1980 there were something like 42 in a row. This May was really hot, June was very hot, and every day in July so far has been over 100o.

Time really crawls when it's so miserable out there. It creates a drought so you have to be very careful how you use water, but you have to use enough, like watering around the base of the house, to keep the foundation from cracking or making existing problems worse. The yard fries. Lots of mulch and a timed sprinkler in the vegetable garden, but the tomatoes don't set when it's this hot and there isn't much out there other than a couple of eggplants and a couple of peppers.

I have a shower on my back porch (a private area that faces the woods) and it is a nice thing to shower after dark out there, but mostly, it's just a misery.

Some months back our Liberal (= right wing) Govt removed "paperwork" so developers can build on flood plains - cos we need lotsa' housing! Thousands more to live on flood plain on Sydney’s fringes if developments allowed to proceed

Too many flooodplains are currently covered with housing & with every flood, more land/houses are inundated.

My favourite pic from the March floods showed before & after views of a two-storey McDondalds with the golden arches outside on a pole taller than the building. Second pic shows most of the golden arches & a few tree tops peeking above a big brown river.
