It’s 41 degrees in the shade!

I often think I must be the only one who dislikes hot weather. Nice to see I'm not alone.
The only good thing about it is being able to wear the minimum of clothing. So nice to just slip on a dress and knickers.

?

I hope you're referring to the place, not the gransnetter.

Ha ha... just thought about this, there are MUCH hotter places than Phoenix!

At least we aren't in Phoenix - it's nearly 40° in the middle of the night.
45° earlier...

Same here in Durham MiniMoon. We had some nice weather way back in June and some lovely evenings recently, otherwise Summer hasn’t ventured very far North this year. TBH - I’m a little envious of the weather ‘down South’.

It’s the high humidity I find is the killer. Normal heat I can cope with but this is too much.
Even in the shade it’s still so uncomfortable.

If we had these temperatures regularly our houses would have air conditioning wouldn’t they ?

If the global warming fanatics are right we may have to invest in something.

10.30 pm and still 27 deg. Madness!

MissAdventure I am exactly the same since menopause, just can't seem to regulate my body temperature, the sweat runs out of my face and head like a river, especially with these current temperatures ?. Expecting a most uncomfortable night and more of the same tomorrow, until temperatures finally start to ease Thursday/Friday x

Bluebellwould our cold water mains pipe is 4ft underground, so lovely and cold

The water that came out of my cold tap, I swear you could have brewed a cup of tea from it!

I’ve just come back from a walk with DD2s dog, she insisted, not me, boy was it hot, not a breath of air, she would have carried on up into the fields but once she had done what she needed to do I hauled her back home, she’s now laying in the garden, I’ve had to have a cold shower!
Still no rain here yet. But in the Winter when the wind is blasting me from the West , or, even worse, from the East, I will look back on this and sigh.

I can cope with this weather because I know it won't last...will it?

This weather is knackering. I hate it and look forward to autumn.

Words can't express how much I hate this weather - I long for it to be cooler.
Made worse because Mr R doesn't get at all bothered by it and sleeps so well at night!
Luckily I have a spare room I can decamp to and open the window - can't do this in our bedroom as on the front of the house and too noisy to have the window open.

I wasn't sweaty until the menopause started.
I seem to have been left with an inability to regulate heat, and oh boy! Do I sweat now.

It's vile.

I've always loved summer, sun and heat never bothered me. Now not sure whether it's to do with age and/or medication, I just can't stand it, makes me feel unwell, need to stay out of it, darkened room with fan on!

I find the intensity quite frightening.

It's just horribly hot, I can't exist without a fan, my feet swell up in the heat Lots of mad people swimming in the Thames where I live, it's a dirty old river in parts, full of rats but they're desperate I guess, got to cool off somehow. I hope this run breaks soon and the temperature drops back to somewhere below 25 degrees.

That'll do fine for me, although 26 is pushing it a bit.

I meant to add that it's been quite windy too.
We had a thunderstorm during the night.

Come to Northumberland.
The warmest it has been where I live is 26°c. Today the temperature hasn't risen above 21°c. We have had a little sunshine, but it's mostly been cloudy with the odd shower.

Oh, that's excellent!

The only good thing, is that we are using our own generated electricity, from the solar panels, with all the fans that are going here.

I think I have inappropriate skin.

Love the summer, just do everything slower, drink lots of water and soak up the Vit D ???

There is no such thing as bad weather just inappropriate clothing .
