Blowing gales here. Really bad can't get out as stick just flies around in wind and rainy too.

Sounds good doesn't it? So why the fuck am I sat here with two fans on and sweating???????????

It's supposed to be cold.

Extremely NOT impressed.

Becca19962014 · 10/08/2019 10:52

20c and it's blowing a hot gale and rainy.

The world has officially gone to pot and I want to get off.
Now.

Emmabryant123 · 10/08/2019 10:52

Becca I am feeling the same
Really thought today would feel cooler .
Nope I am still to bloody hot
It better not be 12c on Xmas day this year
I want it to be nearer to 0c please

Becca19962014 · 10/08/2019 11:10

Was 15c here at Christmas last year, i wasn't impressed.

The only time it actually got cold here was in February for a week. Yes we got a bit of snow (literally) and ice which I'll admit was a problem for me like the so-called wind straight from the fires of hell is today.

Is it really so wrong to WANT SOME SEASONS!!!!!

So much for last year being a one off.

Hot wind should simply be banned. End of.

Emmabryant123 · 10/08/2019 12:14

Yeah we had a dusting of snow last year but nothing else
It was barely ever cold enough for me to need a coat ( i dont need a coat until it's 5c or under )
This winter better damn be a cold one

I have to say a cold winter doesn't look so likely trend wise. The Beast from the East is a sort of once every 10 years sort of phenomenon. Mind you in the mid 2000s there were a few successive snowy winters and London was affected. My children were off school a few days due to schools not opening. But aside from that and TBFTE its all been a bit of a nip now and then.

My thyroid doesnt work so I get ridiculously overheated and then ridiculously cold in winter (although I can still function in the cold and arent throwing up in the toilet bowl) but even then, I acknowledge that it's more me than really seriously cold.

Nothing like the 1970s. Now those winters were epic!

Sad

I don't want beasts. I just want sodding seasons back!! Last year I was using a hand held fan doing shopping in December ffs between heating and the not wintery weather outside it was hot enough to cause people to faint!

It's cold here. I needed a jacket and trainers to take DS2 to his holiday club. Still blowing a gale outside.

LoafofSellotape · 10/08/2019 23:33

Met a friend for a meal and the restaurant had air con AND lovely ceiling fans- bliss!

Not quite as muggy as earlier .

Becca19962014 · 11/08/2019 10:28

Nor me.

Looks lovely outside. Bet it's still bloody muggy.

ravenshope · 11/08/2019 15:24

Sixteen degrees here!

We bloody sun. Again.

LoafofSellotape · 11/08/2019 17:23

Very autumnal here and breezy!

RosaWaiting · 11/08/2019 23:52

News flash

I got the flat down to 21.5!!

Well, I’m going to have to close the balcony door before bed, but wow, that’s progress.

LoafofSellotape · 12/08/2019 07:40

We had a huge storm last night, thunder and lightning and big, big rain!!

ravenshope · 12/08/2019 09:36

I just don't understand why I can't control my body temperature. Every time I move I sweat so much. Even when it's 16 degrees ffs. Never used to be like this.

OldAndWornOut · 12/08/2019 12:21

I'm much the same since the menopause.
Also, sometimes I think "i'll just look for..." or "i'll just do..." and that's it, I'm sweating.

Becca19962014 · 12/08/2019 14:48

Bloody horrible here and not in a good way.
Have horrible headache from temp changing so rapidly. Hot here again.

CookPassBabtridge · 13/08/2019 07:44

Freezing here now in Yorkshire, loving it. Had the duvet on the last two nights! Long may it continue..

LoafofSellotape · 13/08/2019 15:45

Very autumnal here and slept so well last night as it was proper chilly.

Starksforthewin · 14/08/2019 02:31

Lovely cool few days coming up here, 17 degrees and loads of rain. Thank God.
I hope we've seen the end of ridiculous temperatures but September can be hot and I remember last year October was ridiculously warm.

As far as 'winter' is concerned, I think I had to wear my heavy coat on only ten occasions last year, rest of the time I got away with a mac.

NormaLouiseBates · 14/08/2019 10:12

@ravenshope and @OldAndWornOut this is me too and it's horrible. Literally any activity at all leaves me sweaty and red faced. I've always been a warm person, even when I was young and slim but now that I'm mid 40s, heading towards menopause (at least I think I am... periods that used to be regular as clockwork now coming and going as and when they bloody feel like it) and fat, it's just unbearable.

Been better today, though it's supposed to be warmer again tomorrow.
It's really beginning to effect my mental health Sad
