So the weather has been beautiful for the last month or so, with no rain whatsoever, it’s been like a heatwave in the UK. Most of us are either outside enjoying the weather or stuck indoors pressing our faces against fans that really make very little difference (even now I’m sat next to my Boneco 2055d wishing it would cool both me and the office down). It’s so dry and hot in England at the moment that local councils are even breaking out the big guns; the hosepipe ban.

Despite the reports telling us it’s the longest dry spell since the 20’s and that it doesn’t look like stopping anytime soon, we all know it will in reality stop fairly soon. We live in a country that just seems to attract rain, and give it till the later months of the year and you’ll be clamouring for the electric wall heaters like it’s the last one on earth.

Whenever the UK is hot, we all complain about it, despite the fact we claim we wish that the nation was hotter. We’re far more suited to cold weather and rain, and the country won’t disappoint us. Some reports suggest that the winter could continue being dry, but that it would be extremely cold instead. So if you are complaining about the heat, I suggest you make the most of it now because in a couple of months you’ll be missing it.

There is one advantage to the hot weather though; in knowing how cold next winter will be, you could stock up now while it’s cheap and nobody else is doing the same thing. Sure, you might feel a little odd asking for an infrared patio heater when it’s so warm, but you’ll be the one with the last laugh when you’re outside in the winter and still warm while your neighbours are freezing.
