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

We have just had our second brief shower. It feels less muggy which is good.

MinesaBottle · 13/08/2020 19:47

Way less muggy! It’s still high 20s but compared to the last week or so it feels positively cool. Really hoping for a decent night’s sleep tonight. The cat looks a lot happier too, he’s been languishing around the garden like a Victorian invalid, poor thing.

MarshaBradyo · 13/08/2020 20:15

It’s cooler but rain moved to tomorrow now!

soundsystem · 13/08/2020 22:07

YASS! Thunder at last!

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 13/08/2020 22:07

Minimal rain but it’s cooler thank heavens!
I may even sleep in clothes tonight Blush

LarkDescending · 13/08/2020 22:12

Finally! Proper rain, lightning, thunder in North London.

Vinorosso74 · 13/08/2020 22:18

LarkDescending it's lovely isn't it?!

MissClementine · 13/08/2020 22:26

Cool breeze coming in the window...bliss

LarkDescending · 13/08/2020 22:36

Who’d have thought rain in England would be quite so exciting?

MrsA I would HATE to be heavily pregnant in this weather.

Sprinkling of rain in Catford this evening. Current situation: Hot. As. Balls.

MrsA2015 · 13/08/2020 22:57

@DancingLady truly has been anxiety inducing come bedtime, especially since we can’t have doors and windows open all night due to kitten being an escape artist SadAngry so thankful that tonight is cooler !

YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 14/08/2020 07:01

I’ve woken up to rain and the weather app says it’s continues for the next week. Angry

Which one of you fucking fuckers did the Rain Dance, eh?! AngryAngry

JackPaul · 14/08/2020 07:13

Loved the rain yesterday!
Slept better than I had in a week (fan was still on). That heat was truly awful. Hopefully that's the last of it for a while.

3am last night we finally had a massive thunderstorm near the Suffolk coast. Now so much cooler ahhh. More to follow today apparently.

Somethingvague · 14/08/2020 08:20

Oops, somehow missed the London bit of the title!

WinchesForFinches · 14/08/2020 08:23

Move to Scotland! We are lucky to get to high teens in summer.

That's ok you're more than welcome to post here! Wink I put London in the title for context in case someone somewhere replies with 'what heat?' Grin as pps said the humidity in the heat here is what makes it so horrid.

I'd move to Scotland in a heartbeat! Alas we are tied in here with my dp's job.

I love reading about how your pets are coping. Disgusted and Victotian invalid cat comments made me laugh as this is how our cat has been acting 😂

Would the feliway equivalent for dogs help calm them in thunderstorms? Poor things.

Hope you've all managed to get a better nights sleep.

I did! It was blissful. I managed to cool down before bed by sitting in front of the window breeze with no trousers on and today I don't feel clammy for the first time in about a week. It's lovely.

Deathraystare · 14/08/2020 13:41

I have just bought a chillmax machine. Fans are no good in my room they just whip the hot air around the room!

It has been hotter inside than outside. I have been sat in a towel soaking up the sweat and have had to wash two big towels as they smelt quite rank. Yes I do shower though you would never think so as I sweat copious amounts straight afterwards.

dontcallmelen · 14/08/2020 18:33

Finally slept reasonably well last night, today was brilliant much cooler & some rain late afternoon bliss.

MaureenMLove · 18/08/2020 16:31

Just to say, I'm still waiting on the torrential rain and thunder storms in SE London! AngryGrin
