For me, the strong sun has been the defining feature of this 'heatwave' so far.
While actual 2m temps haven't met the official standard for a heatwave here, each day has felt hot or very hot in the sun, thanks to remarkably clear midday and afternoon skies under the strong high pressure.
I simply can't recall spending such a long run of days unable to handle more than 15 minutes in the sun at any one time. Truly spectacular weather
