40c 104f plus ++ predicted for the uk next week unprecedented temperatures. what do I do?

All apps get their information form the UK metrological office which give a lower temperature than reality.
This is because the met office records temperatures in the UK are for shade temperatures!

They have a sort of white wooden box with vents and a thermometer in it and use those and publish those shade temperatures. (its looks a bit like a white wooden bee hive box)
Temperatures on my south sun wall and so my rooms have already been well higher than 36.
Have an external thermometer if you really want to know how hot it is. Its the sun that heats up your house not the shade (Unless your lucky and have a massive tree shading your sun side of your house.) Also trees create an air conditioning affect due to evaporation, like bowl hugging.

So Those temperatures predicted ‘35’ are for shade. thats not what we actually experience.
Read the link information above for conformation or look it up anywhere.

Like your animals/eggs. if you really want to know the temperature, don’t relay on the thermostat temperature setting, take your own readings.
Trust your own readings, not Apps based on shade temperatures or thermostat settings…

Also calibrate your thermometers to be sure they are accurate do the following:-

Don’t listen to me or fortcasters, apps or thermostat settings, like you do with your animals, measure yourselves and react adoringly
Trust your own calibrated measurements and your own judgement
At the end of the day its your actual room temperatures that count, not app temps or shade weather forecast temperatures.
