11pm. 😬

A screencap of Wundermap. North London temperatures at 11pm on 9th July 2026 according to local weather stations.
NOT FUNNY.

Looks a bit tarted up compared to how I remember it 40 years ago, but Hey!

A screencap from Google Streetview showing the pub formerly known as The Coronation Tap, a well know scrumpy pub back in the day.
Also (of course) they are showing the wrong address!

Hardly any less at 2am. 🤬

Temperatures are still 24C or 25C pretty widely across London at nearly 2am according to local weather stations reported on Wunderground.

Events, dear boy, events...

Where's that scent coming from? It's not the roses. OH.

A wall of roses at the allotment at dusk.

The allotment plot behind the wall of roses. There are several very tall lilies and a greenhouse to the right.

Amazing how instantly you can go off a shop isn't it. 😬

Fascist soft toys in James Selby, Holloway Road. Large and small Elon, Donald, Nigel... and Keir Starmer. 🤔

Very odd clouds.

View of the sky above a North London allotment. There's a strong breeze blowing, 30C in the shade, and a weird basin shaped strip of clouds across the sky. All very strange.

Brazil should stick to surfing.

A screencap of the World Surf League's Men's Championship rankings at present. 5 of the top 6 are Brazilian.
(Although, for the first time in history No 1 is Italian: Leonardo Fioravanti. The 5 Brazilians are Italo Ferreira, Yago Dora, Gabriel Medina and Miguel and Samuel Pupo.)

There's me thinking she was talking about Maradona and the Hand of God. 🤣

Screencap of a Blue Sky comment, apparently from a US Evangelical and nothing to do with Maradona cheating against England in an earlier World Cup.

OH. 🌞🥵🐫☀️🔆

Okay, boys and girls - what have I missed?

700 lightning strike a minute in and around Paris.

Anyone got any idea what's going on with the rain radar here? Why strips of rain over Belgium?

A screencap of Wundermap showing weather stations and rain radar. The radar shows some weird stripes over Belgium.

Some of us have plenty to complain about already thanks. 11.30am, so not nearly as hot (in the shade) as it will be this afternoon. And this is only the beginning.

Map of temperatures in London recorded by individual weather stations according to Wunderground app at 11.30am on 26th June 2026. Temperatures shown vary between 31C and 36C. It will be much hotter by 4 or 5pm.

The rainforests of North London.

The tropical rainforests of the London Alps.
(Aka a North London allotment. Currently around 32C and disgustingly humid. Yes I am very stupid!)

Or...

Scott Tracy. Who's pulling his strings?

Can't find the photo of him sitting at Ayn Rand's feet, so this one will have to do.

"Surplus to requirements."

A box of books left out for whoever wants them on North Hill N6.
Including Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations". 🤣

Thérèse@tiggertherese· Jun 20

I don't think it exceeded 30C throughout my entire childhood. 80F or 81F (27F) got "Phew! What A Scorcher!" headlines in the tabloids. But, hey! climate change is a science conspiracy or something.

Met Office weather forecast for St James Park (Central London) for the coming week - screencap taken on Saturday evening.
Temperatures may be 37-38C on Tues 23rd and Wed 24th June.

In Ariana restaurant in Bow. There's no-one else here apart from us!

An empty Persian/Afghan restaurant in Bow my friend says is very nice.
Where is everyone?!?

Very threatening dark grey clouds behind trees.
