For once, Tideswell is looking just like that today, minus the cirrus
and the pool! It's not good for my fair Celtic skin. It's just crept
above 25° here so definitely an indoors day. In 48 hours time we
should just be departing Heathrow for cooler northern climates :-)

Maximum of 26.3C here Norman but with a lovely sea breeze blowing all
day and a relatively moderate DP of around 15C, it was just about perfect.

Mind you though, that sun was scorching today through a deep blue sky
and very little, if any thin high cloud like the past couple of days.

Passed 200 hours of sunshine today for June. Some might be surprised
that this isn't far off the average as many think this month has been
really sunny. May could end up sunnier, though it might be close.

Managed to have a swim in the briny this afternoon. No wetsuit required
though after an hour I had definitely cooled down. Nice to warm back up
in the sunshine! Sea flat calm and crystal clear. Offshore sea
temperature at 1 metre depth peaking around 18C this afternoon though it
would have been a bit warmer along the beach.
