Not so Hot

A few days ago I showed this thermal photo:



There were some good guesses as to what the camera was looking at. It was this:



The mantle piece and chimney breast above my gas fire. I was interested to see what sort of temperature was reached by the brickwork. By way of comparison these are the temperatures in the fire itself:

Feeling the Heat

Not really much to photograph outdoors these days. When it isn't raining it's foggy or thick mist. Even when I can't see any mist I can still feel the spots of moisture on my face and hands when I go for an amble round the village. To warm things up I took this shot indoors with the Seek thermal camera plugged in the iPhone. Can you work out what I was aiming at?



I will give the answer later in the week.

Hot and Hotter

Yesterday turned out to be as hot, if not more so, than forecast. My weather station temperature records peaking at 27.8C:



By taking short working sessions with cooling off periods in between I manage to treat most of the front of the workshop. As that area was facing South I can vouch that it was ****** hot working there but the job needed doing.



That is also a view of my new bird feeding area. The birds were taking good advantage of the water avilable.

Today the air temperature peaked at 29.1C so I didn't spend much time outdoors. What I did do was to take some photos using the Seek Thermal camera which plugs in the iPhone. Here are some composite photos (screen shots to be exact) showing how various areas and items look to the human eye and what temperatures they have reached in full Sun.







I found it interesting to see which things / materials were hotter than others. Thermal colours range from black for the coolest areas of any photo, through blue, green, orange and red. White is for the hottest areas of each thermal photo.
