Does this fill anyone else with dread

I don’t like it too hot but this weather saves money when energy prices are so high. I dried 4 loads of washing outside on Saturday 🙂

*posts on Facebook complaining about people walking their dogs in 20 degree heat).

Ha ha. I am deleting every friend that shares that this year. I am not keeping my cocker spaniel in for 4 months! Why do people feel the need to instruct their ‘friends’ on how to do things? That bloke you saw on the beach with 5 massive furry dogs in 30 degree heat won’t see your post. 🙄

Who says that people aren’t coping with the cold? 😂 It’s shite and never ending but certainly not something to ‘not cope’ with.

I’d agree if we were talking about those people who panic at the sight of an inch of snow on the ground which is equally laughable but sadly for the most part it’s just miserable and cold here (apart from a few warm sunny days which lead to threads like this and posts on Facebook complaining about people walking their dogs in 20 degree heat).

I think it's going to be a hot summer. Old wife's tale (I am an old wife) 'ash before oak we're in for a soak, oak before ash we're in for a splash'. The oak trees are in full finery the ash tree leaves just unfurling. Of course it might be ash 'dieback'....
And there is discussion of 'El Ninia' happening in the South Pacific. I think that means very hot.

22C here today and too warm for me. House gets so stifling, it's just horrible.

Why? Why is your house stifling when it's 22C? Do you not have any windows open? Do you have the heating on or something? It was in no way 'stifling' anywhere in the UK today.

I find the people who moan about 20 - 22 degrees C being stifling and too hot, are often the same ones who complain about the cold in winter, and stick the thermostat up to 26 C.

Serial moaners. Nothing is ever right for them, or good enough for them.

Yes OP it fills me with dread too. I’m absolutely hopeless in the heat! I cannot cope with it and i am not excited to see those degrees above! 😒 our house is stifling, the windows are so shit
too. So nope, I don’t want it unless it’s around 16-17 degrees, that’s ok. Bring on Autumn already.

This is beautiful, I've just returned from a 2 week holiday and have an absolute ton of washing to do and I can get it dried quicker..my dryer broke the day before I left.

It's been 13 C or less here for weeks. I've still got a winter woolly on. Don't think we'll reach those giddy heights, but I sure wish we would.

I'm heavily pregnant so heat isn't my best friend right now but it isn't that warm and this year so far has felt considerably colder than the last few years. Grateful that my car has air con and we live in a generally chilly house though.

No. I'm really looking forward to a week or two of heat.

I am so over the long dull winter we've had and it will be glorious to be warm for a while.

Love British Weather threads like this. Love ‘em. No it’s not too hot - it’ll be welcome after 6 months of grey chill & freezing winds. It won’t last. This is Britain don’t you know! It may rain for the whole of August 🤷‍♀️

When it gets really hot we normally open the front and back doors and let any breeze blow through. We’ve just got an indoor cat so we can’t even open the windows more than a couple of inches. I’m not looking forward to the heat.

Yes!!!!!!!! We’re going to the Lake District via Manchester and now I won’t have to pack wellies and loads of jumpers!!!!

Yep, OP. I also hate it.

I'm not precious or pathetic, I just do not cope well with heat. Good for you those of you who can. I'll try not to feel superior when you're bleating about it being too cold.

Oh get a grip!

18 to 20 degrees is just perfect for me - don’t like it any hotter

Yippee! 🌞

OP, I hate hot weather as much as you and found those two heatwaves last year absolutely unbearable but I think YABU here. These are normal temperatures for this time of year. We often have a couple of very warm weeks in May and then the weather is often really miserable and grey in the summer holidays. Also, until a week or so ago, spring had been grey, rainy and cold in most places in the U.K. I don’t think this forecast means anything in particular and I’m enjoying being able to wear shorts for a bit and not having to put the heating on to dry laundry.

We have quite a breeze here. With all the windows open it didn't feel like 22 degrees.

Sorry but I’m so happy to be able to paddle board in the sun and enjoy the garden.

22C here today and too warm for me. House gets so stifling, it's just horrible.

Not filled with dread, filled with joy! Finally some nice fucking weather, sick of the rain, sick of the grey, sick of the sore joints from the cold.

And people with conditions like arthritis suffer more in the cold wet majority of the year.

With a medical condition that makes me heat intolerant, I can manage maybe 22-23⁰C, at 25⁰C I'm melting, anything above that and I'm bed-bound, with two air conditioning units on full blast.

Here we go again, my electricity bills are now double my winter bills, and they've been crippling for the past couple of years, so I'm really dreading the next few months!

This. ^ Acting as if they're about to pass out from shock, at the temperature being 20 to 22 degrees C when it's almost JUNE is a bit pathetic, and makes me wonder how these people cope with life.
