To be happy this heatwave should be over today?

It's too much, had a cool bath and that helped for a bit - thought about going for a walk to sit under a treee or something but it just seemed to hot to even do that.

On really? Wonder if it will be like this all summer

Yep, we're still at 26 tomorrow, a cooler (21 degrees) day on Tuesday, but then 25-28 for as long as the BBC weather forecast goes.

Definitely feels like this is the pattern for the rest of the summer - long periods of hot weather interspersed by a day's respite. 😩

Cools off here tomorrow then hot and wet so humid. Nice.

It’s so humid and still, really overbearing.

I’m glad but it’s hardly over for long …still 23 here tomorrow, cool Tuesday then warming up again!

I've got a massive backlog of jobs around the house that I've not wanted to do in the heat.

We live in a flat which doesn't help as the building catches the last rays of the sun well into the evening- it feels like an oven

And YY to not being able to do much. I have today put off changing the beds and cleaning the kitchen because of it. Will do it tomorrow.

Yes. I tried to make the best of it with lollies and paddling pools but I want to get back to my normal activities like doing some light cleaning without breaking into a sweat and sleeping at night.
