Have to smile when the DM and DE say that the UK is going to BAKE in temperatures of 26/27 degrees(!).
That seems very pleasant to me...and I am sure many other ex uk people.
Even here in the Dordogne it was 30-32 degrees last week and will be again later this week......and that is in the shade....put a thermometer in the sun and it's more like 40 degrees.....
