I know it’s the Fail but ooooof I feel sorry for mainland Europe right now.
Forecasters are warning the all-time temperature record of 48.8C, which was set in August 2021, could be threatened with the mercury set to reach those heights once again in Sicily and Sardinia.

Meanwhile in the UK we’ve been getting the rain. It certainly (to me) feels like the weather has been more blocky, weeks of heat then lots of rain and wind; I don’t remember it being so patchy when I was a kid. It seems a lot more unpredictable. Didn’t we have a dry February then a wet march, then a hot June and now so far a wet July? I wonder if we will get 40+ this year. I think it might be time to stock the freezer up with icecream, just in case. I think I would perish if we had 45+ here with our humidity.
