That's not even that hot. Just pleasantly warm. I'm delighted.

Hbh17 · 23/05/2023 16:06

What a fabulous forecast, OP - not even hot! I am looking forward to a lovely summer, so I see no reason for any kind of "dread"!

Qbish · 23/05/2023 16:01

We're a maritime climate. It doesn't just keep getting hotter until September.

angela99999 · 23/05/2023 15:59

I hate really hot weather too, particularly if it's humid. I've got a good tower fan and better blinds in my house this year which I'll use when necessary. I've also had holes drilled through my walls for my portable air conditioner hose!

I’m so happy to see this. All those winter lovers, snuggly jumpers, boots, comfort food have had their time! Bring on the sun, salad, fresh fruit for breakfast in the garden - it’s our time now!

marmitegirl01 · 23/05/2023 15:58

This is normal temperatures? No?

Ginmonkeyagain · 23/05/2023 15:57

I'm delighted that my washing is currently drying outside in less than a day.

JustBeKindItsEasy · 23/05/2023 15:54

Just read some people still have their heating on?!

limitedperiodonly · 23/05/2023 15:54

Usually we have to wait for a few days of temperatures over 20 degrees for the competitive: "Ooh! It's too hot for me!" posts.

Cheer up, OP. It might never happen.

Mumsday · 23/05/2023 15:53

It’s been freezing all year. Stop. Whingeing.

WhatHaveIFound · 23/05/2023 15:50

Sorry, no. I'm mixed race and designed for warmer weather. Looking for to getting my teens out on walks in the sunshine!

We have a sofa bed in the conservatory, so on very hot nights we would use that. With all doors and vents and windows open it was fine.

Last year though, some nights were too hot even for that solution so DH put up a camp bed in the nice cool cellar and slept there.

I was OK in our usual bed in the bedroom, it was cool enough for me on my own, even with an added cat.

However DH said he would not put up with the cellar again so we have had an air con unit installed in a spare bedroom.

I didn’t want it in our bedroom as it would have messed up the decor. The ceiling in the spare room is considerably higher and it fits very neatly between the picture rail and the ceiling.

i just hope we have enough baking hot nights to justify the expense.

Never thought of sleeping in the cellar.
Might give that a go this year if it gets too hot. Thanks @TrickyD

OneTC · 23/05/2023 15:49

Bring on the 40s I say

JustBeKindItsEasy · 23/05/2023 15:48

In the south here also.
Its just about right.
I can’t stand the heat and I used to live in Hong Kong
So I would hate it to get much hotter than you already have OP

Sorry it looks amazing. I'm sick of being chilly!!

Well, I'm in Scotland so looks like it'll pee down for the rest of the year after that week 😂

Thepeopleversuswork · 23/05/2023 15:40

I love heat personally so this is the best news I've had for ages.

Terino · 23/05/2023 15:35

Don't worry too much, it isn't indicative of summer. 🙂 We may get a breezy, slightly rainy summer anyway!
Last one was horrible, hopefully this summer won't go above an absolute max of 24°c or so!
I'll do my very best rain dance to entice a cool, rainy summer OP. 😁

Hayliebells · 23/05/2023 15:32

I thought you were going to say it's forecast to be 30+ or something. This is just nice late spring/early summer weather. It's not that hot.

Looks lovely to me. I like it best when it is about 23-25.

Me too

WordtoYoMumma · 23/05/2023 15:28

It's always super hot at the end of May! Have had many a happy half term in a bikini on a beach in the UK in May/June. It'll get cold again don't worry

It's sometimes very warm at the end of May where I live but never super hot.

mast0650 · 23/05/2023 15:30

YABU. I don't like very hot temperatures. But 23-24 is perfect! It's been a long time coming - we would normally have had a bit more warm-ish, sunny weather by now.
Doesn't follow that we are going to hit 40 degrees again in July.

JassyRadlett · 23/05/2023 15:29

Come on, you lot who love it cold have at least 3/4 of the year! Allow those of us who love the warmth a fleeting amount of joy?
