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.

It topped out at 29.8° here with a dew point around 9° and hardly a
breath of wind. Not my sort of weather at all. Never mind, in 48 hours
we'll be in Reykjavik where the max was 9° today. Much more pleasant
:-)
