Hot and bothered
It’s just past 8am and it’s already 25°C, 34 if you take the humidity into account … which you should because it’s impossible to ignore!
I’ve been awake since about 3:30am because of the heat, and it’s not forecast to get any better before the end of the week. Today’s high is expected to reach 32°C (so it’ll probably feel more like the low 40s with the humidity) but at least there’s a fair chance of a thunderstorm – it might not ease the heat but at least it’ll be pretty
