This to all of these.
I'm not a big fan, so it must have been a county match, with lots of comment about whether he should be in the England team. Definitely 'Botham fever on the radio' though.

I remember 1976 well and also I was 31. Now I'm 72 and really struggling with this heat. But preferable to the Beast.

1976 test cricket would've been the brilliant Windies convincingly beating a good England team.
(I didn't get into watching cricket until the following cool weather summer, where Botham, Gower and Boycott dispatched the post-Packer Aussies).
Perhaps Somerset in one day B&Hedges or Gillette match on the radio?

I remind myself of dull drizzly days in November when its a tad hot.....but would really like some serious rain, as the lack of it is starting to impact my work

Although he did make his ODI debut v the West Indies in 1976, playing twice, scoring 1 and 20 and taking 1/26 and 1/31

Just to clarify I'm only saying it's hard trying to sleep in the day during this heatwave. I've not put in a request for something to be done about it. I haven't started a petition for a government discussion on the matter. But as is proven time and again on NSC, some people just don't wish to entertain anyone else's experience or opinion on a subject. I'm off to bed, night all.

The air conditioning at my work doesn't work, plus the building is made of metal, so we have been working is seriously high heats. so i hate this summer.

You're not too far wrong. Botham did play in two of the three one day internationals against the Windies that year. He got a bit of a panning with the ball. England lost all three (inevitably as the Windies were on fire).

Which is why I recommended buying a tower fan with a timer. Thank you Thunder Bolt for a helpful suggestion.

You can use freezer ice packs placed in front of a desk fan for extra coolness.

I'm liking the heat this time around for some reason but usually I'm more of a cold, wet and windy kinda guy.
I've always rationalised it like this: when it's cold you can put more clothes on to keep warm but when it's hot you can only strip down as far as your birthday suit and if you're still hot that's just tough shit.
I need to regulate.

"Is 2018 sunnier than 1976?
Although 2018 has yet to surpass the heat of 1976, the month of June was sunnier in comparison.
An average of 239.9 hours of sunshine were recorded last month compared to 205.5 hours in June 1976.
And June 2018 has also been drier with average rainfall measuring 35.4mm compared to 37.5mm in June 1976."

Or feeze a bottle of water, which does the same. Also leaving the curtains drawn in a sunny room, helps to keep the heat out.

It's one thing being hot commuting, out and about etc, but the heat last night, even with windows open, was awful. Took me ages to get to sleep.
