Summer....back to the usual

Total opposite. Can’t bear cold and wet. Love love love the sunshine.

I agree with you overthehill - I cannot function when it is too hot and I certainly don't sleep very well.
The weather today has been perfect!

I blow up like a balloon when its too hot and can't do anything, so today has been perfect, temperature wise anyway!

I m with lucca love a bit of warmth, the sun beating down on you, oh yes love it. I cant stand cold, miserable, grey, wet weather I know the stork dropped me down in the wrong country

I'm just like you overthehill.
Gone are the days when I could sunbathe in the garden all day no matter how hot it was.
I like cooler days with a fresh breeze.
I don't like muggy, sticky weather either.
This summer suits me just fine.

It's like the film Some like it HOT and that's me to a T. Heat and humidity? Yep, bring it on. Britain's got so much going for it, just....shame about the temperature. Could be so much worse tho - I once spent a year in Northern Canada and the winters were brutal. Hate snow, hate ice, so we're mostly spared that. Glory be!

The weather today and yesterday has been perfect for me - sunny, warm (not hot) with a bit of a breeze.

I hate hot, humid weather.

I bloody hate hot weather.
My body seems unable to regulate its temperature since the menopause.

I'm like an old boiler, simmering away.

I hate it too. Just what is enjoyable about being hot and sweaty and tired? My energy, such as it is, completely disappears when it’s hot.

Also, I am now too old to look good in summer clothes.

Sunshine for me but not over 24' with rain at night for the garden, perfect.

I hate hot weather too, I always end up making a cave of my house, blinds down, shutters closed, first on the east side, then on the west side. The fan in my bedroom will be on when I lay down, for at least 30 minutes. I love cool, always have and would rather go on holiday to iceland than spain

MissAdventure I completely agree I’m the same. My body temperature cannot seem to regulate and the high temperatures we’ve had make it unbearable. Glad it’s not just me!

Try a cooling cloth. It's a special fabric which you wet and wring out then drape it around you neck. It works very well and stays damp for a long time. My OH bought one for me last year and I've just resurrected it. Not expensive.

Oh, I have some 'towels' from ebay that are cooling.
You snap them, and it seems to reactivate the coldness.

If only I could sit on the bus with one on my head.

Sorry gransnetters I love the sunny hot days. I also love the fact that we have the change of weather from season to season. Always something to look forward to 🌞❄️💨💦🌦

It’s 13deg here today.

It's stifling here.
I'll have a look on my weather thing on the phone.

It was supposed to be 21 degrees this afternoon, but I'm sure it went a lot higher.

I can't find the earlier temperature, but it's 19 now.

These are the towels I got. Hope the link works.

MissA thanks so much - ordered one

We've had no summer yet! North west coast of BC Canada, and we've had 15 degrees and overcast all of June and july! We're getting bloody sick of it!

We had a lovely May, and that seems to be it for summer. my bedding plants aren't much bigger that when i put them in, and my few rose buds rot before they bloom. Stinks!

I tend to love 22- 25 degrees which is normal here for summer. Any hotter and I get listless and puffy.

Ditto CanadianGran I’m on the North East coast of England and we have yet to see any kind of summer . We have had a few days with sunny spells but that’s about it . Today it reached the dizzy heights of 15 degrees with rain this afternoon.

What I wouldn’t give for a few days of sunshine

My body temperature is never hot I always feel cold unless I m in direct sunshine which I try to get into as much as possible
I still have my hot water bottle for my cold feet at night even in the summer 🤭

I love sunshine and hot weather. I get up early and do as much gardening as I can before I have to retreat indoors in the middle of the day. I then go back out when it's a bit cooler to do the watering and pottering about.

DH hates the heat and moans about it non stop but it falls on deaf ears.
