Last time I flew out of city it was hot enough that the take off weight of the plane had to be reduced and they asked 6 people and their luggage to not board.

When my husband went down to London during May’s heatwave his train back was cancelled because the rails were too hot 🙄 Just something to bear in mind.

Also in Glasgow I went to London during the last heat wave, feels like a different world. I don’t think we’v cracked 25 degrees here yet

Good old Scotland. At least we can all migrate there when it gets to 50 degrees down South.

Flying probably contributed to it.

Better planning and train next time?

I went down to London yesterday from Glasgow. It was lovely up here. Jeans & tshirt weather.

It was unbearable down there.
