We have busted through the mercury, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees with wall to wall sunshine for most of us, writes Vicky Lopez.

I expect many of you are heading to the Facilities Show at London ExCel on Wednesday and Thursday. Arriving looking cucumber cool will be a tough ask.

Wednesday and Thursday remain very warm with temperatures either side of 30 degrees and a very outside chance of a thundery shower as humidity builds.

 

Refreshments

If it all becomes a bit much and your exhibition visit is reaching melt down, then head for the De-ice VIP and Networking Café where you can cool down, have a cold drink, recharge your phone (and yourself) before heading off.

 

Post-Show
