We were in Southwold when the hot weather really started. I was uncomfortable, but not massively so.
The drive back was made more than tolerable, the A1120, see Tuesday’s post https://localitystories.com/2026/06/23/2033-the-a1120-the-tourist-route/
and the run around the M25, which was one of the best in a very long time. Not really relevant to the matter of the heat, but it was a hot day, so we were thankful for the air con.
Yesterday, I managed to get out for a walk in the morning, before the temperature really started climbing. Today, as we had the granddaughter, I didn’t go for a walk. For the second day, we shut ourselves in, with fans running, and we exhausted the ice maker – we drank loads of water.
Apparently, temperatures will be maintained tomorrow, but we may also be facing thunderstorms. That might clear the air.
