The HOTTEST DAY EVER in WALES: DAILY VLOGS UK

[@babykukla]

Last year around this time we had a horrible heat wave. I made a vlog of frying an egg in the street. It was 118 degrees farenheight. I thought I was going to die. Laid flat on the cement floor in the basement.

[@PlanetImo]

Oh yes! I remember your egg vlog!! X

[@babykukla]

@@PlanetImo Our temperatures have been in the 90F range lately. It goes against my night owl personality because only the mornings are cool enough to be productive.

[@pamelab668]

Im making sure the Birds etc have access to water toads hoping every where we have got rid of the Pond but they still return every year xxx

[@PlanetImo]

Oh that’s a thought… I’ll put a bowl out for them. Thanks 😊

[@WormsEyeView]

I was going to say that the black bin top will be sending that thermometer much higher.

[@TheThriftyGma]

My 10 yr old g'daughter is doing the Duo Lingo app too.. learning to speak Dutch. With our hot weather, we have a team of volunteers that drive around town and hand out bottles of water to those that need it. I'll wait another 2 hours before I go out to water the gardens. Thanks for sharing.. 🌷

[@PlanetImo]

That’s great that she’s learning Dutch. 😊

[@TheThriftyGma]

@@PlanetImo .. She's proud of her Dutch heritage, and gets a kick when I understand what she is saying.

[@PlanetImo]

@@TheThriftyGma that’s really lovely. X

[@Weasel0539]

We got up to 42 in the shade, broke our city record. Work was air conditioned but coming home home was like a burning wall of fire.

[@cruella_91]

Hello, fellow welshie here, the heat yesterday was mad, I suffer with chronic pain and the heat gives me flare ups. I love my jammies, love it when I get an extra few hours in them in the morning 😅 Just checked your bio and you say you play the flute. I’ve just started picking mine up. I wondered why my leaves were yellow, will make sure to avoid the leaves, I’m surprised mine have survived (but it is the first year I’ve started planting) My best mate is Ginger, she went to her kids sports day and her skin was how you described that girls with the contrast - it looked so painful I wanted to give her a cwtch over video call, (my mate lives further away from me in Barry Island - lucky bugger lol) Just subbing now, take care x

[@PlanetImo]

A fellow flautist, too! I’m sorry to hear you were in pain in the heat. I hope you’re feeling better today. Thanks so much for watching. X

[@WormsEyeView]

It's been 48°c in the sun here today and just up the road, 40.2°c in the shade. London is burning and several fields around here too. 🥺

[@TheThriftyGma]

I think that having the thermometer on the black bin is contributing to the higher reading. But even at that.. it's stinkin' hot there. We watched the fires in London on our news.. so heartbreaking. It only got as high as 27c today.. and it was perfect to dry the clothes outside.

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Omg. I hope you’re staying cool, calm and collected, imo.

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks 🙏

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Wow amazing heat for you guys 🥵we have been hot too hit 32°really warm went for a walk this morning had to go at 8.30 am it was already 22° but we do appreciate having Air conditioning 💦have a great week and keep cool Cheers 🍷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇨🇦😎

[@PlanetImo]

Yikes! Your early morning schedule is good for that. X

[@David.M.]

We commonly have air conditioning in our homes, at least in all but the most northern States. It routinely gets close 30+ degrees here in East Tennessee. But if you are willing to drive up to the mountain top (around 5000 feet) it is much cooler and comfortable for hiking.

[@PlanetImo]

Ahh nice. I used to take a train out of Lisbon to Sintra for a bit of cooler weather in the summer when I lived in Portugal. It had a microclimate of its own and was all green, leafy and luscious!

[@WormsEyeView]

No horse greens for you 🤣

[@Victoria2cupsadayVlogger]

When it's to hot, I eat lots of salads lol. Keep cool Imo xx

[@PlanetImo]

Funnily enough I go through phases with food and haven’t fancied salad much lately…

[@howareyou857]

You are very naughty Imo. You have made me go shopping in Iceland for ice lollies. Flumps are brill

[@seanjamescameron]

Here in London it got to 40*c and I found it much easier to cope with and to enjoy it because I knew it was only going to last 24 hours.

[@PlanetImo]

Yes! I think that’s true - when you know it’s coming to an end and only lasting for a finite period it’s easier to bare. Thanks, Sean.

[@evancortez2]

we haven't had temps over 100 here yet but summer just started, it'll get there eventually - meanwhile, you think cool thoughts! :)

[@sianmorgan6503]

Come and live where I live our temperature is 40c plus for months ☀️☀️

[@PlanetImo]

Yikes! Thanks for watching, Sian. X

[@AxeMoose]

That's super hot.

[@PlanetImo]

I know! Yikes!

[@RetiredLovingIt]

The heat index here is supposed to be well over 100 F all this week 🥵 we are thankful we have central air conditioning

[@PlanetImo]

Yikes! I hope you’re feeling better after Covid. Covid and a heatwave is not a great mix.

[@karen4you]

Since you enjoy extreme heat, this is one of your happiest videos. I'm glad you do but I wilt and lose energy. I agree it is good for body aches. At least you know what climate suits you. I saw there is a drought in some places, it is very dry here, lawn is dying off for lack of rain. I am watering my cheap tomato plants but only one is growing well. Black car seats get scorching in the summer sun!

[@traceyabbott6184]

What a awful nite sleep, here near Ely cambs was 40c,tried to sleep but was impossible, my Bro in law is a firefighter in finchley London and he's been really busy, take care Imo xx

[@PlanetImo]

I saw all the fires on the news. 😞 it was awful. Well done to your brother for coming to the rescue. X

[@mandyjane1234]

I love taking cuttings and encouraging self seeding plants, I ve been faithfully watering something that looked interesting , however I have a suspicion its just grass !!

[@PlanetImo]

Oooh good luck! Mind you, grass is pretty interesting too. So many species… and very pretty in flower.

[@PlanetImo]

Oh good luck! Mind you, I find many grass species quite beautiful when it’s in bloom.

[@faelismaegnus]

Hi, Imo! Welcome to the muscle-relaxing world of hot sunny days! (Your hottest on record day in Wales is a regular summer day here in Acadiana en la belle Louisiane!).

[@PlanetImo]

Oh wow! I think even I might be tempted to get AC if it was like it all the time. Thanks, Chris.

[@joannaallsop5926]

We're toast here the heat here 38..40 way to hot 🔥 🥵 ..hopping to have a bit of rain ..I look like I've been to the carabean ..so brown .. hew time for a cold shower by x jo 😋

[@illgetmycoat1254]

Long term plans sound ace👍👌... Hope they pan out for you... side note cathedral city have branched out haven't they

[@trevorleat8906]

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks Trevor- I will! X

[@maryjarvis491]

We have had 39 c today it's hot here as well cant do much in this heat .🥵X

[@PlanetImo]

Yeouch!! I hope you can manage to keep cool.

[@ameliaread5461]

I'm along the south coast of England and it got up to 31 degrees yesterday. Been cooler today and we had a thunderstorm! I can't believe it reached 40 degrees in London today and I feel so sorry for people caught up in the fires. Also tested positive for covid today, so that's great!

[@donnysweekendvanlifetravel7854]

Hi imo it got upto 43.7 here today for an hour unbearable to sleep last night air con water unit and fan going but still hot great vid as always donny x

[@evancortez2]

That thermometer's about to burst!

[@linnsoltwedel]

Me and my hubby want to buy a place in Florida and stay there in the winter months when we get older! Love Florida! :D

[@PlanetImo]

Nice! 😊

[@anmichele3829]

My first thought is well that’s normal but then I remember y’all don’t have ac! Keep hydrated and cool!!

[@howareyou857]

An it must be strange for folk like yourself to witness us Brits losing our minds over warm weather but our homes and offices are just not built for it. I dont even have an electric fan because there is rarely a need for it in Wales 😁

[@rachpow4452]

Cool love your videos

[@rachpow4452]

Cardiff

[@rachpow4452]

Thank you

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks!

[@kezzagold2507]

hi IMO well it was a very hot last wk of work my last day was Wednesday and it was the hottest day ever I work in a school kitchen so I was dripping with sweat but as it was a scorching day some parents didn't send their kids to school so it meant that we got to finish quicker, and on the bus, it was like an oven ahhhh xx

[@lexiyoung6471]

Monday I went to chessington world of adventure

[@afeeser]

I didn't know you had a new compost bin. I guess I missed the vlog. Looks nice.

[@PlanetImo]

Ahh not new. It’s more than a year old I think. I made a very edifying video about putting it together piece by piece at the time! 😆 good ever green content for ongoing views… thanks Andrea! X

[@PlanetImo]

I haven’t got any compost out of it yet, mind. I think I’m doing something wrong!

[@rachpow4452]

me to Wales

[@pacificstatenorthwest]

Wow... London's on fire 🔥🔥🔥. Watching Sky News live feed and some houses are getting torched.

[@PlanetImo]

Wow! I hadn’t heard that. I’ll have to check the news. Thanks for the update.

[@howareyou857]

Yes. It's highly unusual for London. But horrible that it has happened. Having said that the mountain I live on close to Imo regularly goes up in flames I suspect from arson, but it regularly occurs in hot weather. Terrible for wildlife

[@43greengirl]

It has been 38 in London too hot for me they actually shut our office yesterday and today and I’ve been working from home

[@PlanetImo]

Oh wow! I bet it’s been very hot working at home, too. Thanks, Deborah.

[@seanjamescameron]

I grew up in Treherbert. What part of wales are you?

[@PlanetImo]

Nice! I’m in South Wales valleys too. I keep the precise location private for safety reasons - I hope you don’t mind. I’m originally from Cardiff. Thanks so much for watching 😊

[@WormsEyeView]

I guessed shampoo... close

[@miriamhavard7621]

You poor babies, I'm so horrified what you are suffering!!!!! And hardly any a/c!!!!! 😭🔥🔥🥵

[@mandybaldock4621]

i am just outside London it has been hot !!!! i want you cellar !!!!!!

[@joshuajeffrey1843]

good moring immie when is your next shopping trip

[@PlanetImo]

Soon!

[@PlanetImo]

😃

[@deerogerson1886]

Girl fainted bus stop tall a man and I helped water I typed hair up said to friend must phone mum ok

[@theman9185]

Why don't you work??????

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks for the question. I am self-employed and work as a freelance musician and also a full time KZbinr. My music work took a big hit when the first lock down struck, so I have been very seriously working on the channel since then and have continued to do so in tandem with my music work as it has come slowly back in. The gigs still aren't back up to their pre-covid levels and so the earnings from KZbin, while not enough to live on yet, are supplementing the deficit in the short term. It probably doesn't come across on the vlogs, but it does take well over the average 37.5 hours per week to produce 5-6 videos per week, plus thumbnails, plus SEO, responding to comments etc not to mention the filming, time it takes to set up shots etc etc. Plus time spent learning to use the editing software (Premiere Pro), watching tutorials, taking notes and all that. I work seven days a week on the channel, even when not uploading. I try to cut off at 11pm each night, but often go over. Thanks again for the question.

[@PlanetImo]

PS - sorry I don't always get to answer all my comments - it's a time constraint thing. It clocks up to too many hours to respond to all of them but I do my best to do a good few as they're coming in.
