Threw a bucket of water over the patio as need to put another line of clothes out.

After that I'm getting the frozon hot water bottle out the fridge and going to lie down.

Is tomorrow night meant to be better than tonight?

Yes @HelenaDove the US has a very different mentality to the UK about hot weather. We’re all martyrs over here, thinking we should be grateful for a scrap of sunshine. I might start a thread on it in AIBU.

Hope everyone is coping tonight, it’s especially bad here. It’s got a ‘feels like’ of 40 tomorrow for us
Will be interesting. I’ve got to go out all day as well, and the people I’m seeing are obsessed with hot weather and can’t get enough of it - will see if it’s too much for even them!

Broiling away here.
Have the fan on, iced water in a bottle between my boobs, and bloodshot eyes where sweat has run into them.
Happy days!

I cracked and have bought an air con for my bedroom. £220 from curry's, we're going to have this every summer and I'm tired of sweating through the night.

This one. It's very noisy but it is efficient, if you have more cash to spend I'd recommend trying to get a quieter one

Thigh, is that you?

Yes, my air con unit is so noisy but I just bought the cheapest one at the time.

I really don't think I can cope with another sizzling day. I've been ill and headachy all night.

Yes Rosa it's me 😊 How much was yours?

Even with the air con I've been very grumpy!

I am so, so tired. Finally asleep and then of COURSE the relentless pigeon noise starts at 5am. They seem to have nested hard near us and spend half their time trying to coo each other to death.

I have tried closing the windows, wearing earplugs and wearing my top noise reducing headphones, I can STILL fucking hear the fuckers. I'm close to burning all the trees down, I tell you.

I love winter. I love winter clothes, winter food and winter walks. And the beach in winter. And going to my beach hut and snuggling up on the deck with a rug and a nice long coffee and watching the grey sea. With no other bugger around.
If I loved summer I’d go and live in California or somewhere.
We will be indoors with the curtains shut and reading. Eating ice cream and drinking lots of cold things. I shall let the DCs game all day if they like and then we’ll catch up on some telly. Outdoors can do one today.

You have my sincere sympathies. We had Cats fighting on the kitchen roof at 4am. The screeching and grappling sounded like something from a production of Sumo Wrestlers: The Opera. The heat has driven all the wildlife crazy. Even the Squirrels look more frantic and wide eyed than usual. Wouldn't be suprised if they were responsible for some of the unsolved murders in the local news.

I will not be leaving the house today, going back to bed.

Physio today... I feel for my physiotherapist today. If it wasn't bad enough with my hyperhidrosis to start with we then add a heatwave to the mix.

Going in shorts and tshirt and will go in taxi with l the windows down for air to try keep as cool as possible (still hot but would be cooler than walking it!) complete with drink, cooling towel and 3 speed rechargeable fan. Can't say I'm not trying....!!

Morning all. Awful night, I had a seizure so feeling awful today. Tearful, headache, disorientated and nauseous. Ugh. Roll on tomorrow.

Anyone know if tonight is supposed to be more bearable than last night?

Princessfaffalot

That sounds awful. I really hope tonight is better I did hear something about possibility of further thunderstorms.

😂 the cats!
Good luck to all who go forth in this hellish heat today.
My DM is ‘bored and lonely’ at hers and so is coming to us today. Her real motive is our Sky TV and chest freezer goods. Transparent.

I have a hospital appointment today
Absolutely dreading it 😭😭
I just want to stay indoors

We are going to the cinema later, hope their air con is working, that’s the reason I booked it!

Can I please have some sympathy for my brothers sister in law who is getting married today. In this heat. In central London.

That's going to be pretty difficult.
Hope its a quick ceremony!

I've just stuck my head outside the door and scurried back in to my bedroom.
Its hot as hell out there!

princess it's triggering my seizures as well.

needice I wish you luck starting any kind of thread like that. I'm pretty sure I've seen several which have ended up being deleted.

@Emmabryant123 😭

CurlsandCurves Sincerely hope they dont spend too much time taking outside photos and whoever does the Brides makeup is uber professional.

Thinking of everyone needing to go out or stuck in airless flats like I am.

Coastguard has already flown over twice. It's only 10:15 and already idiots are messing around either in the sea or river again.

Woke up sweating and boiling at 9am. Looking at temp it's almost 24c :( no chance of getting out to get ice like I have last couple of days, it's blisteringly hot out there.

I assume there are major thunderstorms on the way for tomorrow's temperatures to be even remotely true. I can't do much more of this.

What's the point of sodding feels like? Why can't they just give that temperature????

Fairies claiming thunderstorms in this area from this afternoon....

Sorry that sounds a bit rude, I mean I hope the makeup is set to stand up under the heat. Mine melted in seconds the other day.

But I guess its way better than a wet rainy day!

No thunderstorms due here

Siri is telling me it will reach 36 today...considering it’s already 32 I don’t think it will get anywhere near 36 but likely above it
