Today the maximum temperature here is about 30°C but is likely to breach 40° in some part of the country for the first time in recorded history. It's particularly worrying as the last record was only set three years ago. I decided to do my #cycling in the morning to avoid the peak. It was a route along the side of the #ExeEstuary and so outwards, there was a fairly strong #headwind from the #OnshoreBreeze but as soon I got to the turning point at #Starcross, it became pretty easy.

In the house, the side not facing the #Sun is very comfortable and so I think I will be moving around the house to avoid the #sunlight. The kitchen is at 24° where as the conservatory next to it is at 31°.

At lunchtime, there was plenty of #sunshine and #birds were visiting the #garden in steady waves.

#Sparrows and other smaller birds use the #BirdFeeder, sometimes occupying several of the perches simultaneously. But this one was solitary.

#Pigeons feed off the ground and are often seen at the base of the bird feeder. However, this one was walking along the garden #fence.

Finally, here are the same #roses I photographed a few days ago except that this time they are in direct #sunlight rather than under grey skies.

It's the hottest day of the year so far with shade #temperatures nearing 30°C. In direct #sunlight it's a lot hotter of course. While #cycling recently, I've can feel #insects bouncing off my face quite regularly. I'm sure they just then go on their merry way. Another advantage of wearing some #sunglasses or other eye protection means that they don't strike one's eyes. (Admittedly, last summer I did encounter a freak situation where a #bee got stuck in between the sunglass lens and my eye but no real harm was done to either animal.)
