    I plonked a failed PETG print outdoors earlier just to see how it fares,
    I think it's cooled down since then ...

    Well the sensor is still working. Its in the shade now at a reasonable
    33.8-#C

    UFH heated areas downstairs at a cool 25-#C.

    Upstairs with windows open its a slightly stuffy 30-#C.

    Local airbase says its 32-#C

    Nothing to get excited about really

    Going down to airfields south of London its 34-#C

    No doubt at Kew gardens it will be a 'record 45-#C'

    A glorious day all in all. To do the square root of sweet fanny adams.
    I may get a cold drink later....
