Keep Cool

I'm busy trying to modify it using ice packs. Thank you Naughty mitten for your advice.. Fingers crossed it will work

Next heatwave due in August according to the met office

It’s hot, hot, hot outside right now, and it’s believed to be getting even hotter.


It has now been reported by the Met Office that we can expect a two week heatwave in August – grab the sun cream!

It might be tricky to go on holiday right now, but fear not as you’ll be able to enjoy the warm weather here instead.

It’s believed 2 to 16 of August will be the scorching hot time, with “above-average temperatures” heading our way.

An expert said: “By early August, warmer and drier-than-average conditions look likely to return for much of the UK, although there is an increased risk of thunderstorms, especially in the southeast.

let us know how you get on with the makeshift cooler lolly

 Tommytee. Its only 23 deg at 10.30pm. Cant wait to get my ice pacs delived

At that time last night my top of the landing thermometer was shoeing 32.6 deg

I woke up this morning and thought halleluiah the rain clouds are gathering and the sky was dark, I then looked at the clock and it was 05.15 just before sunrise

My attempt at making my own air con, failed. There was no difference in temperature and water dripping off the ice packs.

Back to the drawing board

Try putting a container of ice in front of the fan, so the air blows over it.

I tried putting ice packs at the front but it didn't make a difference.
