A lot more cooler today and rain for most of the day. Went for my walk with a jacket and tracksuit bottoms for the first time in several days. Brought an umbrella with me in case it did rain while I walked (it didn't).
Mid 20s but feels a lot more comfortable. Did my walk, but got caught in the rain. Yes, it finally RAINED.
Still needed the desk fan at home though.
High 20s again today. Went into the office to pick up my phone charger which I left there when I went into the office last time. Even at 5am, the temperature was reading 22degC. Comfortable to walk in at that time since the sun hadn't come out yet, but the Victoria Line was still baking hot and the stations were pretty dead...
Came back and did my walk around lunchtime, the temperature at that time was around 28degC and my shorts were getting soaked with sweat so I had to change them when I got home.
High 20s today, so a bit of a slog getting my walk done. 3km and I'm covered in sweat.... 🥵
Another cool afternoon to walk. Enjoying the Kubernetes Podcast (@kubernetespod) as I went.
20degC so cooler than it's been for a while. Nice comfortable walk, but as I was walking past Sainsbury's there seemed to be some kind of argument going on, and escalating. Didn't hang around, but possible that this could get to a punch-up level. And it wouldn't surprise me, Covid has certainly brought out the stupidity in people.
Cooler day, still warm, but not overly hot and no rain.
But my walk was a bit distracted by this little guy:
He was abnormally tame, and didn't run off when I approached and seemed happy to look at me and even lay down. One of the residents told me they sometimes fed him. Probably wasn't a good idea since he now sees humans as a food source.
A distinctly cooler day today. Still warm, but bearable.
Boy, oh boy, yesterday was a crazy hot day. I went back into the office as they are going to do a deep clean so we needed to make sure all our desks are clear of any personal belongings.
They blocked out every other desk:
And the air conditioning was reduced since there weren't that many people in the office.
The temperature in the office was a toasty 26.8degC
But the temperature outside soared to 36degC, and nearly tipped the 38degC/100degF mark.
As expected, the heat destroyed Network Rail's ability to run a reliable service and services out of King's Cross were delayed or cancelled.
I ended up using the Piccadilly Line to get back home.
On the way, spotted Blackfriars station had a vending machine for alcohold wipes, hand sanitisers and face masks:
The heat in the trains was horrendous. Eventually made it home and decided not to walk, I was sweating enough as it was just taking the train.
Back to today. Temperatures are back to mid-20s so walking is still hot weather, but not as uncomfortable as yesterday.
Today's forecast was 35degC, and it's currently 28degC according to fitbit. A 3km walk has me sweating from the heat. If you're running or cycling out there today, you are much braver than I am.
No rain today, but a windier day today. Had to do my walk with a running coat on for the first time in a long while.
No walks or runs today, the weather has been pretty miserable and raining most of the day. That being said, I did see some people running even in the pouring rain.....
Runners can be a weird class of people sometimes.
Warm day with a few heavy downpours of rain. Still managed to get a walk done, and realised this postbox I've been walking past for years, doesn't have the "EIIR" logo on it, but has a "GVIR" logo instead.
Which I _believe_ means it's a box erected during George VI's reign (the EIIR stands for Elizabeth II, Regina (queen), and the GVIR stands for George VI, Rex (king)).
If so, this box was erected between 1936-1952, meaning it's at least 68 years old.
Been a warm day, but on-off raining.
My FitBit premium subscription has now expired and I won't be renewing it for now.
25degC, but a bit cloudy and humid. Muggy as I did my walk.
Spent today's walk going up to Sainsbury's shopping and then walking back.
My office contacted me saying there's a Summer clean up and if I wanted to come in to pick up things or stuff, I can.
I've picked a day next week.
23degC today, and a nice hot day. Did my long walk and now hot and sweaty -- but feeling good.
Another nice warm day. Not too hot, and a comfortable walk.
Another nice warm day. Cooler than yesterday, but still quite warm.
Mid 20s today and a scorcher of a day for a walk.
A much brighter, sunnier day today. Great for a walk. Low 20s degC.
A cloudy day with ominous clouds in the sky. Going to take my chances and head out for a walk....
A cloudy day, but still warm enough to do a walk, without any unwanted attention from flies.
A warm day, not too hot, and not swarmed by flying ants today. A nice, relaxing walk.
Another nice hot day. Went out to walk, and found all the flying ants had come out and were swarming literally everywhere. I ended up with them landing in my hair and on my neck. Good thing I wasn't running, there'd be a big chance I ended up with some of them in my mouth.
