Am worried it might be too hot, not by most standards but I know UK accommodation does not have much in the way of cooling appliances..

Summer in San Francisco, Paris and the UK? I certainly hope it's not too hot -- that sounds miserable, Brian!  :laugh: :laugh:

Summer has just begun, and the heat is going up here in NJ.   Of course, I'm not happy about that!  :laugh:

It's supposed to get up to about 100F, possibly over, here today. Heat index of 110. That's a bit hot even for me!

I'm going to head out to the garden in a minute to pick some fresh arugula while it's still "only" 81. The arugula is delicious, BTW!

During the day I did. I did drive out to do an errand around 5 and it was pretty punishing in heavy traffic under the glaring sun. My car air conditioner isn't working. In the evening, I sat out on the patio. It was still hot but I don't mind it at night.

Yesterday's weather here was what the weather is like in New Orleans -- for five months straight. Blazing hot and humid all day every day, and hot and sticky through the night. I lived there six years, five of which I had no car air conditioning, and because I was a newspaper reporter I had to drive around a lot.

I still prefer New Orleans' summers to Minnesota winters. But I felt sorry for New Orleans children; they're out of school in the summer just like everyone else, except it's the time of year when it's far more comfortable indoors.

I guess when I say "New Orleans" I'm actually talking about much of the South and the Sun Belt. I've been in weather like that in Washington, DC, too. I walked around with a spray bottle of cool water.

And some friends in Memphis said they can't sit out on their patio and barbecue on a July evening. (I'd probably sit out anyway -- I did in NOLA.)
