    Indeed. Being a pasty ginger who burns under a full Moon I had to really up my sun game. It wasn’t too hot (looking forward to that) but the sun was intense.

    I suppose the worry is that it being so dry, so relatively early, any drought will quick in faster and last longer.

          We live very close to a river and according to some of the projected climate chnage flooding maps a lot of the riverside areas and lower land areas near the mouth will just be gone. Dont think it’s quite sunk in for people the potential impact climate chnage it going to have
