That was a little warm at 6pm. Admittedly car thermometer readings are less that accurate but even so the temperature would be in the high twenties. Finally though we are getting a spell of hot weather. This year has been dominated by cool and very wet days. Of course there have been sunny periods but they have been few, cool and short lived. May and June were both substantially below average temperature. Sadly though this warm spell is only expected to last a few days. August the 3rd is sometimes quoted as the peak heat day, when latent heat and strong sunshine reach their peak. I can recall a number of very hot early August's. After that the sun's strength starts to decline rapidly in conjunction with losing two to three minutes sunlight every day. By the end of August it will be dark at around 8pm, and while warm days are common then, nights start to become cooler. So, I shall make the most of this mini-summer, it has been a long time coming.
