It is official.

Sunday was England's hottest day ever recorded.
And I can confirm that it wasn't some namby pamby English version of hot, it really was properly hot. Especially because London has centuries of design for insulation behind it. Ventilation is a very theoretical idea round these parts.

We went to a music festival in Regents Park and it was too hot to be in front of the stage until quite late in the evening. But then the Brazilian dancers came out any everything was OK.
