Heatwave

Hard for you both, isn’t it?

I wish it would come to us in Scotland. We’ve had a few nice days but definitely no heatwave.

As a Raynaud's sufferer, and having lived in SA and Oz where the temperature in our garden was sometimes 46C, we laugh when some complain about+23 degrees. Believe me, 46 is HOT. The long, miserable days in an extended winter are purgatory for RD sufferers. So, loving this "warm" spell.

i hate the very hot weather as i can't cope with temperatures over about 22°c - it makes me ill. it's currently 25°c here in dorset so i'll be staying indoors which i've managed to keep cool.

I just love it and can’t wait to live somewhere where it’s hot from about Easter to the end of October

I’m in Brittany, in a very small seaside village. It is warm but definitely not a heatwave. And the house never has sun so is very cool.
Draw the curtains, keep the sunlight out.
Rinse your hands in cold water and or sit with your feet in a bowl of cold water
Wear loose fitting clothes in natural fibres, not synthetics
Just have a sheet over you at night and then open the windows for cooler air flow!

Good advice 😃

There!

It’s a bit grey and chilly here in SWWales !!!

In that case I may have to move there there🥰

Loving it! It's humidity I cannot stand...

I live in mid-Northumberland. It's 23° C here today. It was hotter on Tuesday and yesterday. I'd be like Lizzies' dog if it was much hotter. I'm northern 😎

Love the feel of the sun on my face, but the current heatwave is just too much. 'Couldn't sleep last night, even with a fan. Tried to do a little deadheading in the garden, but it's like standing under a grill. Dog is listless, I'm longing for the golden days of September.

My dog went for her walk earlier, but then when it got hotter she didn’t know what to do with herself. I put her outside in the shade, she wanted to come in, she came in and laid on her cooling mat, got up and wandered around, then I found her in the bedroom window. I wet a towel and put it on her and she got up and shook it off! I got quite worried about her for a while because she was panting and breathing hard. Today she is better and I am so relieved.

And the fitness freaks who think it’s clever to jog in mid day heat? Why?
Dog walkers should be made to walk barefooted on hot pavements if they walk their dogs on hot pavements in the mid day heat!
As said “mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid day sun!
Stay indoors or in the shade between 10 & 2!

It's 31 here in Nottingham, and too hot for me. I did aqua aerobics this morning (it was so nice to be in cool water), but not much else since.

Cloudy and dull here in Swanage today. Still warm though and it did try to rain briefly!

Enjoy it while it lasts. It’s always a long winter!!!

Sat out until 10.30 last night. I’ve had my fan on for last four weeks tbh.
In beautiful Ilkley today 😊

I will be reading on my sun lounger this afternoon - in the shade. Still sticking to my vow not to moan about high temperatures - winter will be here soon enough. And agree with others' comments about bloody Christmas.

29 deg in the Midlands this afternoon. Cooler than yesterday’s 33 deg but much more humid which is the thing that floors me into inactivity.
Hard to sleep at night too.
It’s different on holiday abroad as the heat’s drier and there’s always a pool to dip into.
As others have said it won’t last long.

Then there's bloody Christmas The festive season, it's not the two significant days, it's all the over the top commercial run up that now starts earlier and earlier, in fact anytime soon

The annual greed fest where we are brainwashed into some faux Dickensian stupor and exhorted to donate to people ,whilst simultaneously stuffing ourselves stupid.

Mainly light clouds here today in the south east.
Currently 24 deg outside according to my weather station.
So much better than 30.

I know we obviously need rain for our poor gardens but I must admit it has been lovely beings able to plan days without wondering if I should take a jacket and umbrella.

Although I much prefer cooler weather like today, I can understand why some folk who love the heat, point out that winter will soon be upon us!
