Comment on Hottest May day on record in UK as temperatures pass 34C

This is a new record high for May. The current record high across the UK was 40.3 °C (104.5 °F) during the 2022 heatwave, though I wouldn’t be shocked if it gets broken again this year

Ah that sounds similar to where I live in upper Midwest then, that’s a shame, maybe I should just move to canada

Might need to start using an indoor paddling pool to dip my feet into to keep cool if it ever gets that high. Official temp where I live is barely ever over 30 but I am pretty sure it’s a lot hotter on the ground. My heat pump was reading 39 today in the sun, almost free hot water I suppose.

Also wondering about DIY cooling options. Underground is pretty chill right now. Went into a bunker and it was lovely and cool inside. Might be worth digging a nice big hole in the garden?
