My dad said that the sun had hardly broken through all day in 'Tellins.
Not had chance to post on here over the weekend (obviously) but I recorded my highest temp IMBY on Friday. We set out at around 4pm and it was uncomfortably hot - the kind of heat where you don't even move and break out in a sweat. The outdoor sensor read 31.3c when we left. It maxed out at 32.5c later that day. It's not 100% accurate, but gives a very decent crack at the correct temp.
When we set off in the car, its thermometer read 43c!!!! I tried to get a picture but by the time I'd fished my phone out it had dropped to 42c I'll upload & post the pic when I get chance. It dropped to a more realistic 33c within half a mile.
Glad to say that the aircon in my current car is bob-on. With climate control set to 17c, it felt like being sat in a fridge
