    Loving it. 

    Despite the breathless feelings I'd rather be breathless in the high 20s and glorious sunshine than in low teens and grey drizzle. 

    Remain hydrated, remember the factor 30 and don't over exert yourself. What's not to like?

      My wife had a Physio appointment this afternoon. We took a taxi so she was not overheated on arrival.  

      We melted waling home although it was only 81F compared to yesterdays 86F in East Sussex.

    People pay good money to go to hotter places than this on holiday but the media try to whip up a frenzy when British services can't cope.

    Any stress can make things worse, so just try to take it easy.

    Hello April,

    I find it exhausting but I love the sunshine and so not complaining.   Just try to enjoy it and relax more if you can.

    Kind regards,

    Kathleen

      South East News reported that A&E at Brighton had over 300 patients coming with heat related issues on Tuesday. In our local Sainsbury's it was very quiet and the checkout operator said people are not coming out because of the heat, They had over twenty customers pass out on Tuesday.

    Im having more episodes than normal. Im taking a rehydration sachet mid afternoon is helping - keeps my salts balanced better. Water alone isnt doing the job for me.
