Meanwhile, bookshop owner Amanda Logan said she was used to the high temperatures as she grew up in southern California.<\/p>\n
She added she had noticed fewer people come to the high street in the hot weather.<\/p>\n
“I’m a desert being anyway. I always say that I’m a tropical person, but this is pretty unpleasant, but I’m managing,” Logan said.<\/p>\n
“Yesterday was a lot busier than I expected it to be, but then today it’s kind of tapered off.<\/p>\n
“You will find as a small business owner that when the temperatures rise, the high street gets quiet because either people are in their houses or they’re in the pubs.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, people working in the hospitality trade said they were seeing a similar picture.<\/p>\n
Joshua Smyth runs Walter’s House of Coffee. He said he was making sure his staff and customers could cool down.<\/p>\n
“[We] make sure all the doors and windows are open constantly, having a nice draft coming through the building,” Smyth said.<\/p>\n
“Obviously staying hydrated throughout the day is important too, and ensure all of my staff get breaks.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meanwhile, bookshop owner Amanda Logan said she was used to the high temperatures as she grew up in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":657067,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-657066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=657066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/657067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=657066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=657066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=657066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
