Absolutely hate it.
Yesterday the weather forecast predicted a cooler day today
No rain here or anything. Muggy as hell.
Supposedly tomorrow is a bit cooler. Is this even reliable? Why cant they get the weather right. Aarrhdjdjd ndkskwowjshdbdbdnm

I thought they'd had flooding in West London this afternoon? Storms promised for us, East of London, tomorrow.

EnglishRain · 12/08/2020 21:09

Snap. Although I'm in Suffolk. Someone will be along to say brits always moan about the weather and are never happy, but I genuinely love the cold and the rain. I don't do well in the heat at all.

My PFB is 4 weeks old and obviously takes after me. She is not enjoying the heat either Sad

Hairthrowaway · 12/08/2020 21:10

With thunderstorms the rain seems pretty erratic. Even when it rains it’s still hot as hell thoughSad there’s no relief

GreyGardens88 · 12/08/2020 21:10

No sign of it breaking, though seems a bit cooler tonight? It is forecast to break tomorrow with storms but they seem to be missing us entirely at the moment

I live in West London, we have not had one drop
MarshaBradyo · 12/08/2020 21:12

It’ll be raining tomorrow, cooler still Friday

LaurieFairyCake · 12/08/2020 21:13

It's only 24 now, it feels like bliss after today's heat of 34

I think it's over - below 30 now for ever (well, 2 weeks)

gluteustothemaximus · 12/08/2020 21:14

I. Hate. It.

No respite.

Vinorosso74 · 12/08/2020 21:15

I hate it when it's this hot in London. Our flat is baking hot and we can't cool it down. Fine on holiday by the pool, beach etc in accommodation with air con.
I love summer but not this hot. Melting.

SE London, near Lewisham. I heard a solitary rumble of thunder around 3pm and got all excited - but it was obviously just teasing Angry

DinosApple · 12/08/2020 21:17

Friday it will end. We're going on holiday then 😂.

chuffedasbuttons · 12/08/2020 21:17

Much cooler today in SE
And a much cooler evening. No storm in sight but it feels like the searing heat has abated here.

Big storm over France, moving steadily towards us! Mind the dog hates thunder so might not get much sleep tonight either

edwinbear not far from you, heard a rumble just after 4...nada.
I’m dying- a restless 3 year old, 6 months pregnant- I’ve had fucking enough now!!!

YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 12/08/2020 21:18

I’ve been in South West London all afternoon and the storms / rain was BIBLICAL! Genuinely never seen rain (and hail) like it in the UK in the summer. For about an hour too.

Still hot though (not a complaint from me - I love this heat).

DinosApple · 12/08/2020 21:20

Forecast for the week we are away is showers and 20 degrees, I'm looking forward to it! Struggling to pack cooler clothing though, I can't imagine being cooler.

MissCadoganTate · 12/08/2020 21:20

West London, it rained heavily earlier on and is now beautifully cool.

Choochoose · 12/08/2020 21:22

It's the muggyness rather than just the heat that gets me, really hoping for a storm

Where are you? No rain here
CLS81 · 12/08/2020 21:25

@YellowandGreenToBeSeen That's crazy - I am also in SW London and heard a couple of rumbles of thunder at 3pm but nothing else!

RubyViolet · 12/08/2020 21:25

I have just come back from the South of France. Staying in a house with no aircon, just ceiling fans. It was 37 for a few days.
It feels so much more oppressive in London. I can’t bear it.

chuffedasbuttons · 12/08/2020 21:26

Waves furiously at Edwinbear

I've not waved at you for years! I used to be Dungandbother

Nice to see you again!

FinnyStory · 12/08/2020 21:26

I was wondering if I'd got my geography wrong. Floods reported in Richmond and Twickenham

DillonPanthersTexas · 12/08/2020 21:27

Ferocious storm in Twickenham earlier

LarkDescending · 12/08/2020 21:28

Not so much a raindrop here in North London. Distant thunder at 3pm promised relief, but in vain. Still stiflingly humid, even though the temperature has dropped a bit. O for a decent night’s sleep 💤 🌧 ☔️
