Good point!

Fans on all day will increase electricity costs

MissAdventure Tue 11-Aug-20 18:02:47

That's my take on it, too, glamma.

It is quite pleasant in Wales Sitting out weather. Threats of thunderstorms though. Horrendous ones yesterday.

Miss Adventure you can dry you items in the sunny weather outside on the line then indoors on your maiden next to the central heating "all sorted". grin

MissAdventure Tue 11-Aug-20 18:01:11

It's too hot, even in the shade.
It topped 38 degrees yesterday and there wasn't a breathe of air.

Too much for me.

Miss Adventure Not if you stay in the shade you still get the goodness from the sun.

MissAdventure Tue 11-Aug-20 17:59:28

I don't have a tumble dryer. smile

PS Just think how much money you save from not having the heating or tumble dryer costing you a fortune

I would take a day or two of it! Nothing but cool and damp here on north-west coast of British Columbia. Since the beginning of June....

MissAdventure Tue 11-Aug-20 17:55:26

It damages your skin, though.

I love it the sun makes you feel healthier and brighter I'd far rather have a hot sunny day than rain and wind/snow anytime.

I think there was a thread like this last year, and people got really disproportionately angry at us who dislike the heat.

MissAdventure Tue 11-Aug-20 17:43:48

I would take the cold if it was the only other alternative, but I like spring and autumn weather.

I cannot get in with this heat. When I am in the office the aircon makes it very cold and when I step outside its unbearable.

Oopsadaisy3 Tue 11-Aug-20 17:38:23

But what’s the alternative? Either boiling hot or cold and wet, no inbetween , I’m indoors in the cool, but it’s better than being cold.

If we were abroad on holiday I’m sure we would be wanting our friends back home to be jealous of our warm weather.

But hey ho, I’m always cold , so this is just right, (as long as I’m indoors)

Too hot for me.

MissAdventure Tue 11-Aug-20 17:30:38

Then, when they get up, I'll knock em down again!!
I loathe this weather.

Bluebellwould Tue 11-Aug-20 17:28:13

Just that it is so hot here, it’s cruel and if a weather person says it’s great weather I’m going to punch them right on the nose!
