Weather record almost broken

Phew. The hottest day of the year turned out to not quite beat the UK record although some local records were broken.

As a pair of large islands off the coast of Europe we jut out into the North Atlantic. This makes UK and Ireland a temperate climate.

Unless we get the Spanish or Moroccan Plume (Google it) we generally get temps in the mid 20's (centigrade) with the occasional hot days. Those inhabitants of places like Arizona probably don't recognise this as hot.

So as I was watching the cricket test match on TV, Reggie needed keeping cool.

So out came the paddling pool. 

Cooling down

He loves to stand in it to cool down. Lucky boy.
