July was a hot month. Red represents 25-30 degrees, the dark wine 30+. There’s a couple of paprika stripes in there where it was slightly below 25, but mostly we’ve been cooking! The maximum, which I feel I should mark in some way, was 36.6 on July 2nd, with the 25th coming a close second at 35.5. And those are the official temps – it can actually be way hotter than that on our deck at the end of the afternoon. So glad of those curtains now – it makes the deck more usable.

And no, we don’t have air conditioning!
