Has this nice sunny weather (ie 23 degrees C or more) effected your gaming?

It's nice and cool in my office so it's quite pleasant at the moment. No gaming though and the club reopening will now be delayed until the end of July.

I'm hoping that Miles has stocked up on ice cubes for the weekend. Of course, it might be raining again by then...

Yes, this hot weather is stopping me from completing both my Renaissance game and my group build. 27c due here today, with 33c down south in Maastricht.

It's lovely weather.  I would have a jumper on in the evenings if it was a chilly 27.

You can always cool yourself down watching 'The African Queen' or 'Lawrence of Arabia' or maybe 'Ice Cold in Alex'! ;D

Offering some perspective.  23 degrees!  A mild Autumn day. Gaming here in January is regularly in the high 30s and beyond. On the other hand anything below 4 degrees here is pretty much ungameable. Regards Alan

The UK generally has crap AC (if they have them at all) and heating systems which makes for such comments... :)

As a different perspective - anything about 30+C and 95% humidity it's too nice for painting other than on an eve for me and I want to be outside. Might as well enjoy the rays. Time to read in the sun etc. and drink G&T's. We get that for a 2-3 months or so.

But when the temps drop below freezing (-10 or so) that's fine for gaming - again we get that for about 2-3 months of the year.

I found it interesting when I moved here no one seemed to care that snow was forecast/happening in winter. I soon realized if you did (like people in the UK do) then it would be too disruptive to do anything. :)

Well, that's as may be, but now it's 32c here and being a northern European I am bloody uncomfortable and I wish we could clean up the atmosphere with a little bit more determination before the only people who can live on this planet are Tuaregs and Australians.

Here in the New Forest the Heat has dissipated thanks to a two hour (and still going) cloud burst. At least I don't have to water the hanging baskets today.

Weather is great here, the warm weather has lasted long enough to get the hay cut and baled and in the barn all in the hot sunshine.

Alittle cooler today at 27c but still had to cut my walk short as the dog was struggling in the heat. Corgi types have a very thick coat.
