Official: HOT

[Gully]

I was woken up at about 5.15 this morning by someone revving their engine up then driving away from just outside my house, never really got back to sleep again after that, as a result I am absolutely knackered and should have no problem getting to sleep.

Yooo f***ing hot, but everybody seems to be taking it easy. Not too pissd. I kinda like it!

Had I not drunk about three litres of Irn Bru (including three cans of their red bull-level stuff) today I'd be able to get to sleep after being woken up early, but I'm currently as high as the ISS and running out of walls to bounce off...

Got a couple of large fans pointed at the bed. Bit noisy but my god, it's heaven having two jets of cold air on your back until you fall asleep.

And when you wake up too. Mmmm, couldn't manage without it.

Far too hot for sleeping and gigs.

But for (nearly) everything else it's perfect

Red bull SENDS me to sleep.

for centigrade (celsius called it that, right?) to farenheight, multply by 1.8 (divide by 5, multiply by 9) and then add 32.

quick way is to double and add 30, but not as accurate!

(in reverse- take off 32, then divide by 1.8..

I heard a really good tip today on fans (no, not FANNYS - keep it down at the back). Anyway, fill up a couple of empty 2 litre bottles with water (not all the way to the top though). Put them in the freezer, then when they're frozen, place the bottles of frozen water in front of your fan, and PRESTO - your very own budget air conditioning unit. It will blow cool air around your room and you will be proclaimed a genius and a messiah by your grateful housemates.

Wednesday's temperatures

 

[Trufflehound]

As we were discussing last week:

HOT = GOOD

Humid = BAD

So 37°C is no problem if the humidity stays down...

Well, one tries ones best.

25.9 ºC at 9:11 am

Humidity is 48%

If the humidity falls below 40% it is better, methinks.
