I was bloody well not happy.

I’ve never been abroad, so it would have to be the heatwave we had last year. That was brutal. I’m not made for this weather, my fur keeps too much heat in.  |

My friends visited India last year and told me horror stories that it was in the fifties(!) and that due to intermittent power cuts, there was no option of electric fans/air con etc
I would have opted to spend the entire time sitting in a cold bath tub (whilst moaning incessantly)  |

"48 in India. It was insane. And there were women working on the roads with babies on their backs. We took them clean water and thought we would collapse walking to them!
"
Thos Gujurati female workers are hard-core!
Carrying rocks on their heads with babies strapped to their backs.
It certainly gives you perspective of how easy we all have it! |

it reached late 40s in South Africa, but I wasn’t working so I could lay out in the shade and snooze or go for a swim go cool off.
Early 40s in Cyprus was much much worse as I was in and out of site visits so on my feet most of the day. I thought I was going to melt  They were having a heatwave and it was way too much for me |

Death Valley California,it was showing 52° on the car dashboard.
I got out of the car,walked around for a minute,poured a bottle of water over my head and got back in and whacked the air con on full blast. It was incredible heat.
There were people setting out across the desert with huge backpacks and big boots on.....nutters!! |

52 degrees in Zante about 9 years ago, the only place I could find with air con that day was the toilets in McDonald's so sat in there for half hour cooling off!
Croatia last September was in the late 30's as well and I was humping about up and down mountains in body armour and carrying loads of kit, drinking 2 litres of water every hour and just sweating it straight back out.
Enjoy this heat while it lasts though, just remember how long and shit British winter is! |

I lived in Perth Western Australia for 10yrs. Though in that time I've seen the mercury tip 50 degrees I had to work in hotter environments as I'm a welder.
During the hottest days of summer in late January I and 4 other welders had to weld on a 70 ton casting from a rock crusher.
Being cast metal the job had to have a maintained temperature of 600 degrees C.
Even though the outside temp was 40 plus it still took 4 days of constant LPG gas burners at $4500 AUD a day to reach that required temperature.
All doors were shut and I wore boots, leather over boots, thermal underwear, Jean's and overalls, shirt jumper and heavy leather welders jacket, leather apron, fire retardant hood and respiratory welding mask like the one in my public pics.
I stood on scaffolding over the 600°c job which was being rotated with a guy behind me ready to take over when I could stand it no more.
20 minutes welding then 20 off was the best I could do over an 8hr shift.
During those 8hrs I drank 11 litres of water and didnt piss for 2 days.

It was awful.
Hot weather can just piss off - I'm at home today hiding.
My flat is lovely and cool and I'm not going out there again today!
