Freeze a water bottle and put it in a spare pillowcase, then have that by your feet. Helped me sleep last night.

Took the dog for an hour walk this morning and it was ok at first, but I was dripping with sweat by the end of it (context). The house was so humid when I got in, so I've opened every window and door, and when I opened the patio door up the breeze was just

Woke up stuck to the sheets and drenched in sweat.

The missus saw fit to turn the fan off in the night because it was too loud for her to sleep.

'Heat burst': If you slept badly last night, this could be why

Some parts of Lincolnshire saw a temporary spike of 10C at around 10.20pm, meaning temperatures in the evening reached 32C.

For many people, trying to get to sleep last night will have been nearly impossible.

The UK saw its second warmest day on record on Thursday, with temperatures as high as 38.1C (100.5F) in Cambridge, with other areas not far off.

And making things worse, last night saw a rare phenomenon, known as a "heat burst", that caused a spike in temperatures in the evening.

Some parts of Lincolnshire, England's second largest county, saw a temporary rise of 10C at around 10.20pm, meaning temperatures briefly reached an uncomfortable 32C (89.6F).

The Met Office said the heat burst was due to a thunderstorm collapsing in the skies above the county, quickly bringing hot air down to the surface.

They added: "Tonight's event is likely to be an example of a heat burst, a rare atmospheric phenomenon characterised by gusty winds along with a rapid increase in temperature and decrease in dew point (moisture)".


A graph released by the meteorologists showed that heat began rising at Donna Nook, a coastal area in the county, at around 10pm. Within a few minutes, the temperature had peaked, before falling again shortly thereafter.


Many on social media said it was noticeably hotter at a time when it should be getting cooler, with one user saying "the temperature shift was very noticeable and uncomfortable."

I dunno about it being that warm at 22:00, but I've just been forcefully awoken from it at 07:00. According to the Met Office today, temps around here aren't even expected to hit 20, so that should be very nice indeed. Except for in my sauna of a room. Maybe.

My room is really warm tonight, but luckily I had planned ahead and executed Karl method for cooling down - a frozen 2lt bottle of water at my feet. Magic.

The rains arrived last night and drove much of the heat away.

The people of these lands are not sure when they will see clear sunlight again and have begun the festival of mourning its loss.

The heat is back. It's 82f / 28c here in the south-east and it's predicted to hit 30c on Sat and Sun.

Frankly, it's too much. I went on a circa three-mile walk earlier and sweat was coming through and soaking my cap; not just a little bit, but a lot. From just walking :dread: .

I've always had issues with my circulation in hot and cold conditions but, as I get older, it seems to be getting worse. Global warming could end up making me rip in pieces.

Yeah 28C+ is tough without AC

A rainy 23C today in New York. First time its been less than 27C in months (and most days its been 30-32C). A very welcome relief.

I've been in 28-30C under cloudless blue skies for the last 6 days on holiday in Portugal.

Luckily I've been able to spend hours in the private pool our villa has. Life is hard
