and that's in the shade.....

 

No it's not, or rather, it's not accurately measuring the air
temperature. From the link in the melting tarmac thread
"The highest UK temperature recorded was 38.5C (101.3F) in Faversham,
Kent, on August 10, 2003. "

Cloggyland, the place where one sets an alarm for 05:03

That'll be recorded records though. When I were a lad sill in me short
keks me and my mate Nobby Clarke went round to his aunties house in
Wembley[1] one day during the summer hols and when Nobby collapsed from
heat stroke later in the afternoon it was noted that the good old
fashioned mercury thermometer was reading close to but not quite 105 in
the shade.



[1] Normal for us kids it was, hop on a train and go places for the day.
Couldn't do it now could they, poor cunts.

 

Yeah, cos they can't spell "temperature" and "control" ;-)

 

Yeah, the poor cunts now get free buses instead.

 

So it's not just kids these days that don't understand how a 'real'
air temperature should be taken?

you need a beard and a wooly jumper<insert sheep joke 'ear>?

 

I'm more interested in why 05:03 and not 05:00 or 05:10

 

Probably the same reason mine usually says funny times - holding the
button down too long when setting it & not being arsed to backtrack.

I've got news for you - I frequently have to set mine for 04:00 and
that's in Londonland.

 

The thermometer in my car said 36C as I left the office, was reading 37
as I skirted past coventry, and was back to a sensible 32.5 by the time
I got home a short while ago.

In summary - "it's a bit 'ot".

What with one of them dew point things, like that is going to be
available in yer average Wembley back garden in the 1950's

That is waaaay to hot for me. 28 in Holywood today but with a little
cloud and sea breeze it was rather pleasant.

It is cooling down now sadly but photo buffs should be out there this
evening coz if the cloud stays how it is it will be cracker of a sunset.

 

Rather. Question: If I have a car with no sunroof, and no AC, appreciating
that I should be rather hard boiled by the time I finish my journey - would
it make sense to have a basic sunroof fitted in as its about all I can do to
improve air circulation ? I was just thinking that a whole in the roof it
likely to help aid immediate upward dispersal of the heat if nothing else.
If I dont do something soon I will dehydrate before I get home.

03.00 for our 04.03

 

Just put a new battery in, accidently set to 05.03, but it's not going off,
well it better not....
