My mum has poured salt in all the windows that are open and I haven’t seen any flies. Don’t know where she read it, seems to be a take on the salt in bins thing, but it might be workingI don't mind the heat so much, I do hate the cast of bugs life that swoop in as soon as the doors open though!!! Bloody flies
I think children should stay home. Insist if you must. It'll only be for a few days, no big deal. I reckon a fair few families will be pulling kids out next week.It’s predicted mid 30s where I am Monday and Tuesday and can’t decide what to do about my kids and school. My son in year 7 says several of his friends aren’t going in but unsure if that’s a fact. He has to wear uniform, carry all his books plus 2 bottles of water and walk 2 miles each way. I walk my youngest to school ( 15 minutes each way, uphill) and I can’t cope over 25 degrees, I really struggle and get headache.
My eldest has asthma and he really struggles in heatthankfully he doesn’t work Mondays and Tuesdays
My dog is similar. The number of cooling mats I've bought her while she lies on a rug, panting because she's too bloody hotMy mum has poured salt in all the windows that are open and I haven’t seen any flies.

How are people dealing with the heat and their pets? My dogs aren’t smart enough to just lay on their cooling mats and with the weather predicting 34+ degrees I’m a bit worried
38!!It’s now saying 38 for Tuesday. I think my partner will take the day off which will be a big help as he can drive us somewhere cooler.
That’s the third day of it too! You’ll find me in my bathtub.38!!
Don't drape it over her, encourage her to lay on it. Draping traps the heat (vet nurse)My dog is similar. The number of cooling mats I've bought her while she lies on a rug, panting because she's too bloody hotIt sounds daft but I rinsed a tea towel in cool (not freezing cold as I believe that can cause them to go into shock) tap water and draped it over her. Not sure if it helped but she was fine with that than actually sitting on the cooling mat. My dog has also just had her groom so hoping her shorter coat helps her next week. PS My dog is a terrier so does fit under a tea towel.
38 is insane. I really feel for anyone enduring that. Think our top temperature is going to be 28 and that sounds bad enough.It’s now saying 38 for Tuesday. I think my partner will take the day off which will be a big help as he can drive us somewhere cooler.
Oh whoops, good to know. At least a tea towel is cheaper than buying an expensive cooling mat (chances of her lying on either slim to noneDon't drape it over her, encourage her to lay on it. Draping traps the heat (vet nurse)
