To think it is too bloody hot?

We have had a few days of 28 degrees here in Yorkshire and it is still 24 degrees, but tomorrow's high is only 20 degrees.

We didn't get the thunderstorm that was originally forecast.

I'm off for a cool shower before bed.

I feel ill with it - lethargic, no appetite, dizzy, irritable 😠

It’s been pretty hot in Sevenoaks today - 28c and high humidity. The dog has been panting and needed a big drink from the tap when having a paw clean after running round in the shade in the back garden, and DDs managed to polish off all my chilled barley tea in the fridge, before I got the chance to drink any of it. DH is hopeless in the heat and disappeared into his office, which is the only room in the house with actual aircon, claiming overdue work (which I suspect to be BS and he was really just pussing about on the computer).

The plan was to have a BBQ, but the parasol broke on the garden table, meaning we’d have been sat out under the direct sun, so we had chilled noodles instead and watched a bad film.

All told, it was fine, but the forecast is for it to be cooler tomorrow, which I’m looking forward to!

We’ve just realised that, having spent a week in central Europe in 30 degrees plus temps that it just doesn’t suit us any more. Constantly looking for shade and dripping with sweat.
Horses for courses.

Bit overdramatic OP. Yes it's unusually hot, but the forecast said it would be hot. Plan, dress and adjust accordingly. If it's roasting hot, leave the housework for a day or two. I got two washings dried today. I've barely sweated today, I hate to say it but weight and fitness levels are also a factor.

I live in new build (notorious for keeping the heat in) but close windows and blinds in the morning and then open them again around 9pm when it's cooler. Sitting in my lounge now and it's very pleasant. And we're more humid than Singapore, apparently.

Literally cannot believe someone has cancelled a holiday to Majorca over the heat... They're set up for summer heat, it's much better to be in 28 degree heat somewhere with air con and a pool.

Yes, we're not used to this type of heat unless on holiday. I've been dripping at work and then coming home, cold shower helped a bit.

The UK is generally unequipped for hot weather, certainly schools, where windows can only be opened an inch and the buildings have no fresh air circulating, awful!

So nice to walk into a supermarket with AC, bliss 😊

Yanbu......its roasting here in SW.....I've managed to keep comfortable overnight and I highly recommend a fan at the bottom of the bed (blowing feet to head) and a spray bottle of water. Drench yourself in mist and let the fan do it's job! I was almost cold last night!

9h, grow up, OP.
It's midsummer. It's the longest day of the year. Thank God we've had some light and sun recently. We were at a wedding yesterday in Oxfordshire and it was absolutely beautiful.
It will be cool, grey and damp again before we know it, and then you'll regret complaining.
Just enjoy, relax and forget about the cleaning.

The bit of the day that I find hard is about 4pm when its kids teatime and everyone is hungry and cranky but feels too hot to eat, and its grim turning the cooker on, and our dining room table faces the sun at that time of day. DD doesn't like eating outside because of flies. And so I have to sit at this boiling hot table with the curtains drawn and it just feels like a pressure cooker!!

Rest of the day, I enjoy.

I LOVE IT!!!

Sitting in the garden or in and out of the house, it's just lovely 😍

I mean, it depends where you are? It's very pleasant where I am

Which theatre? Did you see anything good?
I was at the Mayflower in Southampton, it was proper chilly 🥶

I live in a first floor maisonette with large windows so I’m all hot and bothered. We have all the fans blowing but it’s still uncomfortable. We drove to a supermarket this afternoon and enjoyed the lovely aircon. It would be nice to have some good cooling rain, but hang on, that’s not what people want is it!

It just so blinking humid, just had my 3rd shower of the day & I’m still mafted!

I went to an air conditioned theatre today and still ended up looking like I went swimming with my clothes on. Thankfully it seems to be cooling off now.

ps the Dyson fan is totally worth the money

Me too

Very hot and humid in the North East today, we went to the coast thinking it would be cooler ,not a chance it hit 30 degrees, so spent the day nipping in and out of air conditioned shops, ate out so no cooking, walking in the shade, driving with air con on full, then back home into the hot tub, filled with cool water.We invested in air con units for the bedrooms a couple of years ago and they are a god send.Cant wait for this heat to die down, I hate it!

This is my favourite kind of weather. I was having my morning brew in the garden at 7:20 telling my partner that it was like being on holiday. Love it!

We are however polar opposites. I would, and could, sit in the sun all day happily baking away, I’m like a lizard. He starts complaining in the early 20’s and cannot bare it.

We've just come back from Mallorca today.

To be honest, it was hotter and much more humid when we landed at Stansted Airport this afternoon than it was in Mallorca. Mallorca had similar temperatures but is less humid.

In the UK when we get a heatwave it tends to be a very humid and muggy heat. Less so around the Mediterranean and I find it more comfortable if I don't do too much. 😃

Today’s been a bit rubbish because it has been grey and muggy rather than sunny and hot. There’s a breeze getting up now and it’s due to be no higher than 17 tomorrow where I am, so that will be nice.

Not quite Sleepless in Seattle but it has a ring to it ! 😁

I can deal with the heat in the day, but when the temperatures don’t drop at night that’s when it’s hard to deal with. Sleeping in the heat is horrible and the heat just builds for the next day. Currently past 9pm and still 26 where i am. It’s horrible. Spring is best where you can have a sunny 22 in the day but drops to 12 at night.

I love it, it means I can relax and be comfortable for a few days a year- not like it’ll last is it!! (Disclaimer: I lived in Singapore for 15 years so it’s second nature for me!)

I bloody love autumn! Well I did until I moved into a bungalow with a damp problem. Now its 24/7 dehumidifiers on but hey at least its not hot

Im in Kent...my husband and older 2 kids are away till Monday and I'm home with my baby and 7 year old. I've been planning to get the house in order as its a tip but can't muster any enthusiasm in this heat! Also my baby is cranky
