I’m taking time out from visualising the inside of a big refrigerator to discuss the current weather.
It’s a cruel fact that, as Ted Lasso quite rightly observed, air conditioning in Britain is a privilege, not a right.
32 degrees and 77% humidity in London.
It’s hard for me to believe that it could be more humid. I don’t understand the concept of 100% humidity. isn’t that just the sea? Or the Thames? Luckily some folks do understand and are happy to acknowledge that we won’t drown walking to work should we reach 100% humidity, but we might die in ways directly related to it. Ways including heat stroke and other overheating issues due to our body’s heat regulation systems being thoroughly discombobulated by our non evaporating sweat.
So keep cool however you can, probably not by your impressive, expressive disco moves as they will be rendered unsafe by rising temperatures. It’s also no good letting someone water gun you, the water will just get warm rather that evaporate. You’ll be wet and overheated rather than just overheated.
With the intention of being helpful, if you Londoners are melting and not in possession of a big fan, take a trip anywhere on the circle line or on a TfL overground train, they are air conditioned. I imagine the Elizabeth line is too.
Remember, like life itself it’s the journey that’s important, not the destination.
