Dovestones in the heat
As our temperatures rise to an unprecedented high, I take an opportunity just before the two days of maximum heat to take a walk around my Dovestones area again. I really wanted to get an idea of the three reservoir water levels and in that I was shocked. Here I am looking down on Yeoman Hey reservoir and I have never seen it this low in my 50+ years of walking around here. The Pip shows the next higher reservoir (from where I am stood.) Greenfield reservoir from the now sandy shore that is normally 20+ ft under water. Today our temps go to 35C+ before a general cooling down tomorrow. I think we can count ourselves lucky that we have some water at all as part of England and continental Europe shoots up above 40 today.
Nice full screen.
Keep cool and safe.

Our reservoirs are in a similarly parlous state. I remember it being worse when I first came to Spain and people (especially those from Andalucia where water shortages are common most summers) simply adjusted automatically. I was taught how to have a shower by soaking oneself very briefly, turning the shower off, working up a soapy lather and then turning the water back on for a short while simply for a quick rinse!
Mind you, it's been 2 to 3 COLD showers a day lately!!
About 40ºC + in the UK (Lincolnshire got the record I hear) - I think the press make a little too much of it! After all most Brits this days HAVE experienced simmilar temps on their Med (or tropical - Thailand for example) hols!
A very nice picture, and memory of when temperatures were below 40 degrees!
Best Wishes, a nice week, and stay cool!!
