Some years ago we went on holiday to the Greek island of Rhodes. One morning, at breakfast time, the holiday rep. came in and said that the expected forecast for that day would be 40c (110f). I've have never known it so hot, absolutely intolerable but
there was no escaping the heat. We spent most of the day in the pool. It must be murder in places like Paris and other major cities.
1986 or 87 cant remember which
me & my mates were on our annual lads holiday in Corfu. Majoer heatwave over the whole of greece.
Reached 51celsius on our last day there.
Walking along the road some fella was hosing his garden & we stood in front of him & said please hose us all .
He laughed while doing it .
20 yard walk later clothes were virtually dry .
Unreal heat .
The standard measuring conditions for temperature are in the air, 1.5 metres (4.9 ft)above the ground, and shielded from direct sunlight intensity (hence the term, x degrees "in the shade"). The following lists include all officially confirmed claims measured by those methods.
Temperatures measured directly on the ground may exceed air temperatures by 30 to 50 °C (54 to 90 °F). The highest natural ground surface temperature ever recorded was 93.9 °C (201.0 °F) at Furnace Creek, Death Valley, California, United States on 15 July 1972. In recent years a ground temperature of 84 °C (183.2 °F) has been recorded in Port Sudan, Sudan. The theoretical maximum possible ground surface temperature has been estimated to be between 90 and 100 °C (194 and 212 °F) for dry, darkish soils of low thermal conductivity.
About 30 in Southend in today, so got down the beach at 10. It was extremely busy all the way along the 'commercial' bit, though quieter further along.
Pavements as well simply teeming with visitors.
All the battle-cruisers packed to the rafters. Someone has made some money today.

" JUST SAYIN" !!!!
Furnace creek, Death Valley, Stovepipe wells. Brings back memories. Driven that area a couple of times Only 125 degrees F when I was there. The mention of the place makes me want to go back.

Ah barbecue,the other magic word....Luckily I know for a fact some ofmy neighbours have buggered off and hopefully we wont be having none of that today.There does seem to be a strong smell of paint coming from somewhere though which seems more unpleasant.

Certainly takes the gloss off your enjoyment.
My neighbours did have a barbeque.The smell of burning plastic gave it away but at least it wasn't too boozy.Yes I know I'm a miserable old git.
Well it wasn't too bad.I've had worse.Like when the old neighbours used to do it right into the early morning.Booze and all.

Fair enough, but I think you missed the pun though.
