AIBU to find the cooler weather surprisingly cold after the heatwave?

Climate change and recurring heatwaves terrify me so I hate to admit this but the recent drop to the high twenties feels unbelievably cold. The overnight temperatures are positively wintry. Tell me I am not the only one!

The famously intolerant hoi polloi are now angling for a reason to boot up the central heating after spending several weeks moaning it is too hot.

YANBU, I'm sitting here under a blanket.

I need to exercise but I don't want to put my shorts on because it's too cold 😄

what a load of bollocks.

If you’re cold in high 20’s then you’re unwell and should see a GP.

Hot water bottle and fluffy socks indeed.

Fluffy socks and a hot water bottle?!

We've turned the A/C off and are using the fan again because its cheaper 😂
It's certainly not cold though!

That’s what I’m trying to say, it’s technically still hot but it feels so cold.

It really doesn't.

YANBU.

I'm bloody freezing today. I'm sitting here with a hot water bottle. Last night I dug my fluffy bed socks back out.

What??? Hot water bottle and fluffy socks!?

Where are you?
