Rolf, it's 18 degrees, wet and windy here in the South West of England and I'm cold!

Not used to this!

But maybe my ~~garden~~ desert will be thankful.

Mrs Builder just insisted we walk

down to Sainsburys for stuff we don't even need, when we have an astra and Omega parked outside

whilst hiking back up the hill (some 0.6 miles ) it rained for the first time in weeks .
now we are home, it has stopped
house aircon still on due to my body overheating, reminiscent of carlton in traffic

Yes my house aircon is still on as well.

Largely because I can't be arsed to go round and ~~close the windows~~ turn it off in the room zones.

oh ! retro air con that does not use 3 gigawatt of electric , has no condenser that needs blowing out and fans replaced.
so you have to open and close windows rather than hunting for the remote , or get up and press buttons

Yes and it works very well in the blustery conditions that we have today!

Not so well when it's 30°+ and still though. $:-\$

Omega s AC is working again

Well, you won't need to water the garden on Tuesday

Most forecasts have a problem with thunderstorms in my area. If thunderstorms are progged, there will be thunderstorms. You can see them. They are over the Voges in the west and over the Blackforest in the east.

Lahr is right in between and will stay dry....

Its like a drizzly autumn day here today - Lovely.

Sir Tigger KC · « **Reply #11 on:** 29 July 2018, 18:53:31 »

I'm missing the lovely hot weather!

Maybe I'll emigrate. Western Australia has a cracking climate!

My astra showed exactly that last week. What did it say once you started driving, Rolf?

Doctor Gollum · « **Reply #15 on:** 30 July 2018, 20:19:42 »

16.3 km/l

Zirfeld · « **Reply #16 on:** 30 July 2018, 20:32:46 »

the picture was taken in my garage yard round the corner of my house. It is an extremely hot place on summer afternoons. The display dropped down to 35°C after a few miles driving. That was exactly the temperature official measured at Lahr airport at the same time.

@ Doc Gollum

My Omega runs with 12,5 l/100 km using it in stop and go city traffic.

On long ride conditions with constant speed around 130 km/h the old lady takes 7 l/100 km/h. Enough to cross Germany south to the North Sea with one tank.

Zirfeld · « **Reply #18 on:** 31 July 2018, 18:19:04 »

39,4°C!

Official measured in Bernburg/ Saale southwest of Berlin.

Here deep down southwest 35°C again.

Yes. We have had it nice during July. Daytime heat I can cope with (39 today). It is the nighttime that wears you down. Anything over bedroom temp of 25 C is not nice. Just checked a minute ago. 23.6 inside 28 outside at 11.30. Saturday is the highest forecast with 40 and a min overnight of 22 (that is usually about 7 in the morning). We had 44 daytime temp last year during a mini heatwave. That was most unpleasant

On the plus side it is our village fiesta this weekend. Evenings start at 11 and go on till the early hours.

Sardines on the Sunday, giant paella on the Saturday.
