It was very strange this afternoon to have such a strong wind (29mph here, not in London) that was so hot (39C) I have never felt anything like it in the UK, it was like standing in front of a giant hairdryer.
We felt the same in the Peak District. Hot wind blowing. Then a little after the heatwave Peak it suddenly flipped to “cold, regular” wind. Surreal experience.
The weather over the last couple of days has felt qualitatively different - and we've had nothing like the temperatures further south.
