Spain? Nope. France? close, nope.

Italy? Nah, way off.

Latvia? Oh hell no, they've had temps of at least 45 for days on end, it's not that bad here.

If you said Great Britain... You are the winner! In the week which saw Britain's hottest ever July day go past (and one of the most humid, from the feel of it), to waking up at 4am this morning to see a completely red sky (which was shortly followed by an incredible thunderstorm!), the country's weather has shown us what I'd consider to be approaching its entire gamut of tricks it has to throw at us.

Wow, it really was a scorcher on Wednesday. I was half glad I was stuck in work from 6am to 3pm, because whilst I was stuck in work, it was in a Tesco store - a cool, constant 22 degrees. The warehouse freezers were even better; -12 celcius! I had to go in one for a few minutes to get some bags of ice out, and I had icicles forming on the inside of my nose :D

We had another torrential downpour here earlier, and now it's feeling significantly less humid - which is fantastic, yesterday it was verging 60% humidity, and it's never nice when you sit down for five minutes and your undercrackers are stuck to your arsecheeks when you get back up, that's just wrong. And nasty.

So, looks like global warming's ugly head has nodded back off to sleep for another year (fingers crossed), it's just unseasonably warm now for this time of year, as opposed to actually being just like in the Med in terms of climate and weather.

Ah, Sunday tomorrow - only four hours' work and then I'm off for the rest of the day, and I have Monday off too... Plenty of sleep to look forward to :)
