Time to start looking into a split AC. I've got a portable one but it's not cutting it anymore.
Greenhouse is already a toasty 55.

We went in yesterday... the ladies wanted to see a bunch of gardens and the Portobello Street Market. Left London at 5pm in the commuter rush then drove straight to a pub. Barely had a sip of my pint before the rain started. It was heaven!

I am currently seeing 25.7 degrees C with 68% humidity in the lounge. These thermal blackout curtains might be keeping the sun at bay but they can't do anything to save us from the humidity.
Doing an afternoon tea this afternoon... Wife & her sister are going to be enjoying bottomless prosecco. I will have a single G&T to cool me down but keep me under the legal limit.

I came into London at 5pm at left at 10pm. Train out was at least cooled but needed a cold shower to wash that mugginess off when I got home.

We were in Lake District for a few days and I gotta be honest, seeing fighter jets fly over you every now and then in that majestic landscape was something else. Got all giddy whenever one came over lol

Oddly enough handling today better than yesterday but the sun is still high.
Weird sinus pressure is probably the worst.

Cold beers in the fridge
About to pop some sausages on the grill
And a bit of a breeze makes it much better than yesterday
So not too bad imo

Depends what you want out of it, and which part you are going to? June, July and August are the warmest months, but there will always be lots, and I mean lots of rain and clouds, no matter the time of year. I'd probably avoid winter as the days are short.

€30 well spent 
30c this side, no where near as hot as you lot in the UK.

Yeah and my friends back in SA keep laughing saying “that’s nothing it’s a normal day in SA”
Was meant to be in London on Friday to go into the office. Decided I am skipping that. The office has good AC but I expect there to be issues on the trains. So no thanks.
I’m investing in a split A/C for next summer because I think this will be a regular thing going forward.

Also been looking. At this rate it might have to be installed sooner. Wonder if their price drops during winter?
Yeah I’m going to wait until winter to do it. Pricing should be lower.

Yesterday felt cooler in the PM than the day before. I was able to fall asleep early.
Today doesnt feel too bad. There is a breeze blowing in which helps, but the curtains are stopping it since they are closed during to being thermal blocking.
30c here and UV is 8. But I had turned fans on early morning and closed some curtains and opened all windows. Feels cooler inside today.
