Is anyone else freezing cold despite it being summer?

Just that really. I feel like I can’t warm up at all tonight and been the same a lot this week in particular. Jaw is so sore with TMJ, joints all hurt and I just feel so cold. In bed with a hot water bottle and a warm tea yet still so cold 🥶 Anyone else the same?
Am I being unreasonable thinking it’s too cold for being summer? (To be clear I know I can’t do much about it even if I am being unreasonable so it’s semi-lighthearted, semi-wanting to feel less alone in my coldness)

Might be worthwhile saying where you are in the country or the thread gets really confusing

So
Kent here

We have single glazing and hay for insulation and the windows open and I’m still too warm. We open the curtains at night to cool the house down
I m amazed some of you are cold and wondering if you all have a vitamin deficiency. Low B12 is well known to result in people feeling cold

Take a covid test and isolate if positive. It's a warm summer - this really isn't normal.

I'm freezing. But I've got flu chills.

It’s 14 outside at 1am, 23 degrees in my home, I’m not cold.

@TinyTempestyes frozen bones is such an accurate description of how I feel tonight. Cuddling my hot water bottle tight.

I never thought of that. But you make a good point, I had it in summer a few years ago! It did make me very shivery then so could possibly be, or I could just be cold. I’ll definitely keep an eye on it. Thank you 🙏

Show quote history

One of the time I had it, the only symptoms I had were aching joints and 'frozen bones', where I just couldn't get warm.

I didn't have the sniffles or a cough or anything else.

Maybe you have Covid?

It's going around my workplace at the moment.

@MOGHelpwe must be in different bits of the country! High today was 16°C but currently 11°C. Glad it’s warm for someone though 😄 Enjoy it!

It's warmer than average here in the South West of England, we've spent the last week at least sleeping under a sheet as a duvet is too hot.

Sorry to hear you’re cold too. Though also thank you for making me feel validated! I bought a bunch of cosy crew neck jumpers yesterday but so far still too cold 😄 I feel like a block of ice!

I think it must be because you're unwell, I've got two of the bedroom windows open and the fan on! It was 28 here today

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 10/08/2025 00:31

No, you're not alone.
I'm cold, too.
Our fire has been on quite a lot, and I keep my electric blanket on at night.

I can't believe it's August.

Nopicplease · 10/08/2025 00:31

Yes! The only place I'm warm is in the office. It's bloody cold.
