Feel the heat

When Natalie and I were looking for a replacement car for our Megane, we considered whether airconditioning was an important accessory to have or not. We decided it wasn't. England doesn't get that hot. Right?

Well, almost.

We had some very warm weather around Wimbledon time, with days in the high 20s celcius. However, nothing compared to what we have coming up. Today was about 30 degrees, tomorrow is going to be about 32 and by Wednesday we will be getting mid to high 30s here in London.

While I am lucky in that I can wind down the windows in the car and keep cool (ish) that way, poor Natalie has to survive on the crowded Tube, where even on days where the weather is just warm, the carriages can get quite stuffy and hot.

The other problem we have with the hot weather is getting to sleep at night as the British houses aren't designed to cool down quickly.

But it is nice to have the great weather. Makes me think that Christmas is just around the corner.

I don't want to compare Aussie winters to U.K. ones but it barely reached double figures today. Plus it was only 1 degree celsius o/n
