I was reading about the local highways department sending out their hot weather gritter to spread a thin layer of sand on roads where the tarmac is melting and thought what is it like here?
The ambient air temperature seems to have peaked about 38C so I took a couple of photos looking up the lane where I live.
A screen shot displaying the Seek thermal imaging camera view and measurements alongside as near a match I could get of the same view in visible light:
The temperatures for each colour in the IR photo are shown down the left hand side. Lane surface up to 59C! Nice cool hedges on the shade side.

Our tar is fine, probably still thawing out from winter. I had to turn the air con off this morning but it's back on now as shade temperature has reached 28.2°C. I like the heat, humidity is low at 44%. All in all it's very pleasant, a breeze would make it perfect.
ReplyDeletePS. That camera is impressive but I'm surprised the leaves on the bushes are that hot.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, John! My guess last week was wrong anyway!! :)
