AIBU to have had enough?

I keep a bottle of M+S Lemon Verbena body mist in the top of the fridge so that it is icy cold.
A quick spritz of that, and sitting with a fan directed at me.
Heaven. ???.

Love it m love it love it! Seem to have more energy the hotter it gets, I know I’m in the minority- I’ll get my coat!!!

I think I can sense a thunderstorm on its way.
Oh please, let me be right for once!

Been to lunch at a fish restaurant on the beach, so hot it was like being in south Mediterranean, but although hot and bothered I am not complaining. The UK seaside needs this boost, all were busy the beach was packed.

S E Essex at its best, just didn't look at all the 'bodies' with flesh out lol!! Have to make the most of the summer, winter is much longer.

Wash my bedding in the morning and put back on again at the end of the day.
How often can we do that.

If I had a larger washing machine, I would wash my duvets as well.

I love the hot weather. I am olive skinned, not pale, so that’s probably why. But I must admit I do feel slightly weak if out in it all day. Thank goodness for fans and a bit of shade.

im melting here

Have you tried spaying your sheets with a water spay just before getting into bed it’s lovely and cool. I think the Egyptians used to do it.

I don't think you are being unreasonable about the weather, I think it's dreadful. I don't mind being warm but this is ridiculous. Quite frankly, I'm looking forward to Autumn.

Is that London, England, catterygirl? If so I think your phone needs looking at. If you are shivering perhaps you are unwell?

I love the hot weather....but not when I'm working! I gave up work in March, decided that I wanted a part time job and started beginning of July. When I've got home I've been exhausted and fallen asleep!!

Spring and Autumn for me too.

No need to worry about your lawn. It will come back as soon as it gets some rain - then you will have to start mowing again!

Not a lot we can do to change the weather though! I love the heat but don't like this muggy overcast weather we're having today. Wearing as few clothes as is decently possible, doing as little as I can housework-wise and drinking lots of cool drinks!

Its 29 degrees here in Essex.

What heat? I had to put on a vest lunch time as couldn't stop shivering. My phone tells me it's 15 degrees Celsius here in London instead of the promised 29 degrees. Let's hope it warms up next week for my birthday. When it's warm I am able to do much more physical work. I do sympathise with those who struggle with the heat though. If I took a cold water bottle to bed, I would probably catch pneumonia. Can't bear fans or A/C even when I lived in Trinidad and Kuwait. I recognise I am abnormal.

It's cost me a fortune in Summer clothes, that I would say! Normally I just wear jeans all year round and in the Summer just wear sleeveless Summer tops. However this heat is just never ending and I've had to go out and buy a lot of short shift dresses which I have to say have helped to keep me a lot cooler.
I do hate the nights though, despite having a fan in the bedroom I just can't sleep. We are just outside of London so it's really very hot here.
I'm another that really does prefer the Spring and Autumn too. You can always put on layers and get warmer but it's so hard to cool down.

?Thank you Miss Adventure..

I'm in London and it is so uncomfortable. My garden has no shade so I can't go out there, Buses are sweltering, walking is exhausting. I know we should not complain, but the heat really makes me feel quite ill, light-headed and dizzy. I'm glad I no longer have to commute or sit in an overheated office but I think age is making me less able to cope.

I can't. My poor feet are too swollen.
I've never had this problem before..

Hate, hate, hate the heat. It makes me feel so tired and sluggish. I can't be bothered to do any housework so do just the minimum early mornings, then laze about. If it rains I think I'll go out and dance in it.

I hated hot weather when I was teaching but loved it in the holidays and am really enjoying it since I retired. However I do feel sorry for those people whose health is affected badly by it.
I am surprised that more sufferers don't have air coolers or a portable air-con unit if it makes them feel so ill. I know they are expensive but we picked up a second-hand air-con unit for £80 to take down to S.E. France in the summer and our fan unit has a drawer at the bottom for ice. Both worked well when it was HOT there, i.e. touching 40 degrees, last summer.
For many years we have had a ceiling fan above our bed at home which has enabled us to sleep well in this hot weather. I don't think it was very expensive.
I have a condition called hyperhidrosis which means I sweat excessively all the time so being wringing with sweat doesn't bother me particularly- it's the norm. On the other hand I have also had a thyroidectomy so I feel the cold terribly and hibernate under the duvet in winter!

I've had more than enough. I love to see the sun and normally take 20 mins without Sun team to boost my Vit D but can't take this humidity so not getting it much. Trying to remind myself of long winter waiting for it though. I have Hashimoto's and am 2/3 degrees out from norm. Hot most of time...

The main thing is to keep well hydrated. ie drink water regularly, not huge amounts at once, but regularly.

I have to say, every suggestion given has been put into practice for a good few years now.
They help with the overwhelming heat, but I still can't wait for it to end!
P.S apart from the hot water bottle suggestion, which I did last night. Lovely!

I have been amazed at how badly my neighbours deal with the heat.
We have the windows and doors open when the outside temperature is cooler than inside, and closed with blinds and curtains drawn when it is hotter outside.
Neighbours have their windows open in the heat of the day. Our Hive system has emailed us saying that the temperature in our home is degrees cooler than other homes in our area. (In the winter we are always a couple of degrees warmer than neighbours.
