For me the heatwave has broken. I now have cool air blowing in the house. I just need the walls now to cool down and the inside temperature should return to normal-ish.
Same. I used to like hot weather when I was under 30 but even in my 20s was starting to dislike it. I don't mind a nice mild day but I could happily go through my life without every experiencing another day with temps over 25C. I still like 4 seasons, just don't need the summer to be very hot. Maybe 3 seasons would do, autumn, winter & spring so long as there was enough daylight hours for growing gardens.
It's alreet when I'm not grafting in it.
Usually it's throwing up bars in marquees so it's double hot. Or driving work vans with no AC.
The roads where fucking awful today. It's scary getting stuck in traffic with no water
Ooh! Ooooh! Me me me! Me! I am dying of death!
At least when you're cold you can pop another layer on, but when it's too hot and you took all your clothes off, what's next? Taking your skin off? Huh? I vote against.
a lukewarm shower. Possibly with a friend, to save water of course!
I'll ask the cat if she wants to join the fun. She is not enjoying this weather either.
but when it’s too hot and you took all your clothes off, what’s next?

Sold out 😒
That's not really effective and they're sold out too. In spring I looked at a good one but didn't buy it because I didn't want to spend so much money. Now of course they're all sold out. I hope I won't be that stupid again next year.
If you're smart you'll wait till off season when they go on sale and snag one up.
Same here. When looking to buy one during colder weather you look at the price and think: "Nah, that heat wave won't be so bad..." ... and a few months later it IS that bad.
Here it isn't only that bad, it's way worse. Holy shit, I'm dying.
Haha, "next year" like this is the last of it. I like your positivity.
They become available again once it gets colder.
Nah nah nah we need to start with passive cooling first, where I'm from houses all have proper shutters that keep the heat out in the summer and the warmth in the winter. I just don't understand why it's not standard in the UK. Oh wait, that might have to do with your windows that open the wrong way round......
All I want is simple really, a 16° bedroom with a 10.5 tog duvet, all year long. What do you mean it's not realistic???
Nah no winter. A very long autumn with mild temperatures please.
Winter kills the ticks though
Edit: oh wait this is a UK forum, please disregard if the UK is somehow blessedly free from America's scourge of ticks
We have plenty of ticks thank you very much. My partner picks up ticks from walking the dogs about twice a week, I don't seem to get them very rarely
They carry Lyme disease, and a small number encephalitis
Yeah, I'm like cereal.
Store in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Personally, I prefer it to be hot. I don't like not being able to escape the heat, but at least it's light and there are flowers.
However, I don't like it to be this hot.
I was in Corfu in August a couple of years back. It was 40 deg C which was just painful. But it's currently worse here because it's just so fucking humid.
20C is my preferred top end, anything after that and I start getting uncomfortable. 30C+ and I get increasingly irritable and headachey.
Currently chillin with 5-10 degree weather here in Australia, but my god last summer was crazy. This summer I hope I survive lol.
Good luck to you in the UK, must be crazy hot in your brick, tripple glazed, zero air con houses
Yup. Inside is boiling, outside is scorching, and walking for too long anywhere has me dripping with sweat which feels gross AF.
At least in the winter I can put more clothes on. Hard to take clothes off when you're already down to nothing.
I wouldn't suggest walking around in the nude.
It's a rare day I envy nudists. Today is one of them
If it helps the nights began to get longer again on the 22nd of June, the day after the longest day of the year! That's what keeps me going.
You're right that does give me hope
I love the hot weather, it's relaxing and you can spend more time outside.
Ahahaha, except where I am it's currently hot while raining and thundering!
Warm is nice, the 35c+ we had yesterday can fuck right off. Low to mid 20s is alright, comfortable beach weather.
I find myself to be a bit of a contradiction with hot weather as I don't do well in the heat at all and struggle when it gets over 25 but at the same time I love it as it means its nice enough to spend lots of time outside doing all sorts of things which I love and this is harder to do in winter. Plus I find all the layers I have to wear in winter annoying. Give me shorts and T-shirt any day.
But you can have shorts and a T-shirt already at 25, those extra 15 degrees just make it unbearable. (Greetings from a country where AC is basically Hitler)
My house has no thermostat and landlord doesn't care. The walls are cracking and done off the windows don't close up (you can get a finger out while it's locked)
It's an oven in summer and a freezer in winter.
Hardly any openable windows either. At least they can't take my misting fan away
Cold weather sucks when you have to get up early in the morning. The cold can be rather shocking when jumping out of bed. I'd rather not end up shivering.
Isn't hot weather for you guys 20 deg C?
Is it, and some places are close to 40°C this week so we're all melting
I'm in Melbourne Australia.. Not melting this week
It's bloody freezing down here!
...but somehow there's no snow on the alps either.
Yes. So when it hit 35-40 yesterday across a lot of the country, combined with the usual fairly high humidity, it felt like Satans taint.
I'm fine at 35-40 but that's also like <10% humidity. I fucking hate humidity, good luck o7
Yep, that's really hot. 20 is shirtless barbecue weather for us.
21 deg with a light breeze and no clouds is my ideal weather.
It hit 35 a couple of days ago and my god it was shit. Forgot to crack open my car's windows, so the cabin temp was 48 when I finished work.
A casual place for banter and anything that doesn't fit in anywhere else.
Have chat and a natter. Talk about anything and everything that's not political!
Keep it casual.
