it has been 29C here, 33C near London, looks like bits of France hit 38C. Definitely pants[1] and beer weather. RH is 50-60% so relatively tolerable.

No aircon, unless you count an electric fan.

[1] UK meaning, of course.

What is the UK meaning of "pants"? Pants as in a wearable item or panting such as breathing heavy?

Wearable item. With the exception of Superman (who is famously sartorially confused), walking down a street wearing only pants can be grounds for being arrested.

Heatwave for the Poms seem now sent to the Yanks in NY where 34C is forecast......nothing special, just a good old warm day in Perth.

Mid-winter, we note :)

Even so, being next to the sea moderates the extremes compared with, say Coober Pedy.

Yeah now Perth is a little chilly, just 16C but Jan temps are normally double that.
Last we were there we left 42C for mid 20's back in AKL.

Hoped to catch up with vk6zgo but it didn't happen, maybe this Xmas when we plan to get across the Tasman to WA again.

The air conditioning ran flat out here until about 3:45 AM. It's been cycling since, now that the heat's finally started to break.
