There was no doubt about it, Thursday smashed my 10 year hottest day temperature into smithereens. The previous high of 33.1°C (91.2°F) set on 01 July 2015 was easily surpassed as the thermometer rocketed to 35.7°C or 96.3°F.

The day's heat hung on long into the evening. I went to water the plot greenhouse around 20:00 and the temperature was still over 30°C. Not only was it still very hot but there wasn't even any breeze. Carrying a few cans of water to the greenhouse was a hot and sweaty job.
I had a quick look around the plot and most crops looked to have managed okay with a couple of very hot days. A dry spell of weather through much of July and a few hot days have stopped some of the potatoes in their tracks and we've plenty to start harvesting as they are not going to do any more growing. Digging up potatoes though will have to wait for some cooler conditions which might not be all that long with cooler weather forecast for the weekend and next week.
