This unprecedented wave of heat is by no means restricted to Europe. Just watched a Japanese snippet detailing their hot weather (22,000 requiring hospital treatment). The commentator mentioned that it's 40C+ in California !!, where most people who can are standing in the sea.

Don't live by the sea personally but it's a good idea .......

Forest fires in Sweden above! the Arctic Circle are fairly unusual .

I read all that ,must be global warming eh,bit of fog here out in the NSea,gives me a nice breeze .

The haar's come doon up Greenfinch's way !! I wish ........

Hardly any pasture here for the cows and sheep to graze. Farmers are using winter hay already.

Last day of the heatwave if the forecasters are to be believed. Goodbye Hello or possibly not.

Just don't know what to wear .......

Shawl and headscarf as per normal but leave off the vest for another fortnight

The veggie growers of tomatoes and runner beans hereabouts have been saying what a poor yield they've had on both counts this year.
Even pot-grown veg, carefully and regularly watered, were the same. Would have thought that tomatoes would have loved it but seems not .

I have noticed fewer bees but many, many wasps this season (will be a good season next year for daddy-long-legs).

It was only yesterday I was thinking I hadn't seen one yet.
