We’re in our fourth heatwave of the year here in the Uk, and while the temperatures are not likely to break records (I think they will just break the 30° level in some places), our homes and infrastructure will serve to ensure that it’s uncomfortable. Each year when we get these conditions I tell myself that we’ll buy a portable air-con unit, but so far it hasn’t happened. However, if this sort of uncomfortable weather continues to increase in frequency and duration as climate change continues to make its presence felt, it’s only a matter of time before I fork out for one.
It’s hotter here at present than it was when I visited Spain in June. The temperatures are much more manageable when you can leisurely walk along a beach, like the one below in Blanes.
