The view from my "office"

[Flashback]

Although the weather warning only tells of 'Extreme heat'. Might only be mid 20's ....

29-31 since Friday if memory serves me right, warm for here so people not really used to it or how to deal with it.

My FB memories keep reminding me that this time four years ago I had a week in Conwy - lovely little town

Looks great, no wonder I'm attracted to Magnetic Island.

Still sitting in full sun with no head covering then the UV is going to be dangerous. My wife's cousin who lived most of her life in England died of skin cancer. Ireland sits at No.3 in the World rate of skin cancers, Norway at No.9 and the UK at 13th.

Edit: The weather certainly seems to be pretty warm.

Extreme heat warnings for UK to last until Friday

People have been warned about sunburn and heat exhaustion, with a high of 32.1C recorded at Heathrow.

I remember on my visit to the UK in 1990, taking the train from Gatwick to Victoria, It was a warm spring day and as we passed various parks there were these shining white objects sitting there wearing long pants - Englishman out in the midday sun!!

With or without handkerchiefs?

No head coverings, except a little hair. It was obvious that they had swarmed out from places of work, only to rip of the shirts/undershirts to soak up the sun, with their trousers, shoes etc still in place..

Did your GPS confirm that the sign is in the correct location? When crossing the Arctic circle in Norway, the little monument seemed to be a few kms out.

The arctic circle moves depending on slight variations in the tilt of the Earth. So it might have been right when the monument was installed. Or a random spot for the tourists to photograph.

Milankovich cycles? Periodicity of abt 40,000 years ( also other periods within). Fascinating stuff.
