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 ?❄️???

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

I'm like an old boiler, simmering away.

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.

It's like the film Some like it HOTgrin 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!

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.

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

Willow73 Mon 20-Jul-20 18:49:33

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

DanniRae Mon 20-Jul-20 18:47:04

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! smile

Lucca Mon 20-Jul-20 18:44:04

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

overthehill Mon 20-Jul-20 18:39:00

Anyone like me? So thankful summer has reverted to type this year. 2018 & 2019 for me was horrendous with temperatures soaring into the high 30s. I like sunshine but with temperatures in the 24ish. I prefer cold and wet to unbearable heat
