To find the temperature today unbearable?

In sw London. It’s meant to be cooler but it just feels so humid outside and my house is retaining the heat from the last few days no matter what we do. Fed up of feeling sweaty and lethargic all day.

London was horrendous today. Supposed to be cooler than yesterday but it felt even more sticky and unpleasant than ever. Low 20s forecast from middle of next week - may even get down to 21 by Friday! That would be fabulous 😍

Desperate for air con units to come back in stock somewhere in Europe!

I needed some wipers replaced on the car a few weeks back. The aircon in Kwikfit was lovely! I was considering having a minor problem fixed daily....

I agree, it's been the foulest summer in London for ages.

I had to have a cold bath at 6pm. I just couldn't cool down. The humidity has made today the worst of the summer for me. I much preferred the dry heat yesterday, despite the higher temperature.

I did think about going out in air con but the thought of getting properly dressed and putting make up on was too much! Hopefully tomorrows a bit more bearable

It’s absolute hell. I’ve never been a summer person and truly hate it. We as a family don’t holiday anywhere in August purely because we all can’t stand the heat.
Tofay we had a very expensive day- movies, lunch, and shopping all to get out of the house and in the aircon!
can’t bloody wait for this hell of a month to be over

Same. It’s still very warm, at gone 9.

I’m in the South East, it’s like living in an oven. My indoor temperature is still 29°, yesterday it was 31° I absolutely hate it.

I find it’s always like this the day after a heatwave - I think the environment has heated up so much that it takes time for everything to cool back down. I found it unbearable around 4pm and the sweat was pouring off me 🥵 I’ve totally had enough now, the last 3 days felt intolerable!
