The article only mentioned the Celsius scale, so I'd assumed the "60 degrees" was also in Celsius since 60F would not be worth mentioning. It's not like newspapers have never printed a mistake before though, if this is what it is *shrug*

Yes...obviously I was referring to the article...not you Scandium (sorry, should've been more specific). Some of these journalists can't count to 5. :lol:

Family advice: lots of cool liquids, enough to go to the bathroom a dozen times a day if necessary.

But the real trick is to take salt pills (or a teaspoon of salt) at breakfast time, before going to work. Salt helps the body retain liquids, preventing dehydration, which may still occur even when driniking a lot.

Winter here at the moment, another two months of it and spring (1st Sept) will be on its way then it time for I & the neighbours to strip naked run down to the creek and take a dive into the still cold wintery waters to break the winter omen. Ahh yeah ok anyways i love winter i hate the summer. Nothing better than relaxing next to the warm fire with a cold beer and talking to my pc :D

33°C in the south east on Tuesday, the radio is saying it will be 45°C on Friday, I hope they got that wrong.:down:

The trouble we have here, is are heat is full of moister which makes it even worst for you unlike arid heat, I remember some couple of years ago on a real scorcher of a day, I was walking behind a business man who was speaking to a Arab man. He said something long the lines this heat wave reminds you of home, and the reply from the Arab man was, this heat is very bad for you. :stare:

45C in the UK?? :o Is that normal?

It's never reached over 40 in the UK...so if it gets to 45...

...I hope you're flipping happy STEED...all your fault for not "wanting" to recycle...council...huh.

..hope they dump another ten bins on your lawn! :rock:

DID YOU READ THIS?
That came from the radio, that bit of info. After some checking by me it is clear the radio station that gave out that forecast is very wrong, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it. :yep: :p




Fat chance, in my local paper I see my council are withdrawing all these bins, because people are sick to the back teeth with them. Victory to us over the council.:smug::p :smug:

Actually, drinking cool stuff won't cool you down any, unless you drink loads (like 2 litres) at once, and then only marginal, the body has to get it up to body temperature, so drinking cool stuff will actually heat you up, as paradox as it sounds.

Drinking hot stuff on the other hand, will cool down the body. I guess I have to look up some reference for that, because I'm pretty sure I haven't explained it properly.

Can't find anything in English, damn... and atm I'm too tired, to bother, will try to find something tomorrow.

Alright, I live in Wales 24 miles east of Cardiff and the time is 13:15. The temperature here is 31°C or 84°F. This comes directly from my room thermometer. It’s quite hot for this time of year but not overly so.

In Wales:stare:

South England and the midlands are sweating and the north is soaked in rain, no wonder they got all the water. :p

Yep, I got a though-draft in the room as well so there’s a bit of a breeze too keep me cool. I’m about 100 foot above sea level and live right on the border with England to the east (the river Wye). A little place called Chepstow actually, next to the Seven bridge. If I were to guess the border is about 400 yards East of my place. Temperature today got to 30°C, so not so bad.

I hate this weather, give me cold, crisp, dry daus any time. I can wrap up and keep warm, cooling down is more difficult (must be my Scottish background).

Drove down from Northumberland today after a long weekend away: No AirCon + Big Windows (Honda Prelude IV) + Motorway = misery :oops:

We may get thunder storms in the South East tomorrow, is that a flying pig I see. :p
