Not enjoying this heat are you?

Usually I love the sun / heat.. get out in it loads, get tanned easy, never need a fan at the house ect ect but this year I’m struggling with the heat massively! Not enjoying it feeling way too hot, I can hardly sit outside! I started taking sertraline last august could it be this? Or is perimenopause to blame? Or is it just so muggy atm I’m not only one finding it unbearable? Or can you just change and no longer enjoy it 😅I hate cold weather so I can’t also be a moaner about the heat which I’ve always loved 😂😂 (I know this is a no worry worry just curious for answers)

Got a record FIVE loads of washing done today, bone dry and folded, so yeah, in a way I am enjoying it. Not doing any of the ironing though - that would be nuts.

I do love summer, though I don't sunbathe ever.
These temperatures are something else. Just nipped out to the garden bin, dog following. Usually he is mithering to play fetch. Not today. Quickly dived back in. Now flopped out on kitchen floor. Dog. Not me. 🥵

It's a high of 23C here and then forecast a high of 17C and rain for the rest of the week. Wish everyone would stop gloating about how glorious the weather is!

Move to the North, it's not hot here.

Loathe it. The poor animals. Poor all of us.

I am not coping but am pregnant, WFH and it’s a sweat box.

I should be going into the office tomorrow (where there is aircon) but the thought of the train home in 33 degrees and no aircon is just appalling.

I usually love the heat too, but I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant and really really struggling!

AmberTurtles · 30/06/2025 15:52

Nope, not enjoying it one bit. Roll on winter 🌧️❄️☃️

ComtesseDeSpair · 30/06/2025 15:52

I think it depends where you are. I’m in south London and whilst it’s blisteringly hot in the full sun, I’m currently sitting in a shady part of my garden and there’s a nice breeze.

But yes, peri / menopause and SSRIs can mess with your internal thermostat a bit, you have my sympathy.

Yes it will be the sertraline. I’m on it too, the heat really affects me now.

The temperature is going to drop down to 22 tomorrow so I don't mind a few days of it.

Got another day of 30 where I am. 22 sounds lovely.

murasaki · 30/06/2025 15:51

My local weather says 33 tomorrow then 23 on Wednesday. Can't wait for Wednesday....

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 30/06/2025 15:50

Yes, tablets do affect the way you feel heat.
