Baking here in Upper Sydenham, SE London. I've had to bring some of my plants indoors as they were wilting even with plenty of water. I might have to repot them.

Just had a 20 min downpour which will please the farmers and gardeners.
It's not enough but it'll help a little.

I've been using a caretakers hose to give a small area a soaking at night so the birds can grab some worms etc. We have a tap on the basement floor by the back door.

I don’t have one either, but I’d ban it myself if it got out of line! :gigglesnshit:

It's so warm here but I am having to sit with a hot water bottle on my back so I am having to counteract the cooking myself alive by eating a Mr Freeze and drinking iced water.

Celcius = Fahrenheit -32 divided by 1.8

So it's 87 C.

To find Fahrenheit it's. 1.8 times celcius +32.

No. That's not right. The equation is but not the answer. It's 40.5 C

It's this calculator. It won't let you do the whole dum in one go :gigglesnshit:
