I am getting sick n tired of this hot weather. I just want a few days of sleeping without fans on in my room. Fortunately I am using ear plugs to reduce the noise. I want to sleep under covers not on top of my bed.

Live in a first floor flat where I can’t do much due to space and the fact it’s a flat.

Im following the rules of keeping homes cool but not working. it’s 31c in my bedroom.

Our homes are designed to keep heat in. I am so tired and want to sleep for longer

Agree I really hope it cools down soon. But depressingly it looks like this weather is the new normal

It’s not helping my asthma at all. They said this heatwave will be less humid! Rubbish! When abroad I’m fine with the heat as it’s dryer.

I want to sit somewhere cool and cry

YANBU- but there’s absolutely nothing anybody can do about it. The weather is one of the very few things that’s in the hands of the gods.
