Many of you will tell us that these temperatures are not that high, and that parts of Australia and America see much higher figures.

The fact of the matter is that here in the UK, complaining about the weather is our favorite pastime. Even more popular than complaining about the useless politicians or the current state of the national sports team.

The unusually hot weather is only supposed to last 24-48 hours now, and the weekend is forecast to be 20C and rain, and we'll damn well complain about that too!

From the last spell of hot weather I learnt the best thing is to keep windows closed and curtains shut during the hottest parts of the day. We've been allowed to work from home for Monday and Tuesday which saves having to traipse into the office. It did mean I had 4 ice lolly things (two twisters, a solero and a cornetto) so I was nice and cool!
