I’m kinda sick of it, although heading to the seaside at the weekend so that kinda makes up for it but sick of the sleepless nights

seems to be going on forever

it must be global heating surely ?

Excited (Scotland)

Bring it on.

MrsGuyOfGisbo · 09/07/2025 16:58

I’m in Italy at the moment with similar temperatures and very much looking forward to more at home. Bring it on!!

Dreading it, I hate the warm weather never mind an actual heatwave.

No, this is weather. Global warming is not weather. And it's great now I'm used to it.

CopperWhite · 09/07/2025 17:00

Im excited! It’s put me in a fabulous mood already.

AnneLovesGilbert · 09/07/2025 17:01

Fucking miserable. I’ve been sleeping okay but it saps all my energy, it makes me grumpy and tired and my kids feel the same so I’m looking forward to it passing as quickly as possible. I don’t live in England to be dealing with 30+ degree heat for weeks on end. It sucks.

feellikeanalien · 09/07/2025 17:02

Can't wait. I've had the fire on a bit recently which is really not on in July.😁

HansHolbein · 09/07/2025 17:03

I really thought after losing 7st 10lbs, it would be easier but I still find it hard.

We have air con, so I can’t complain too much and it never lasts very long anyway. Probably be snowing next week!

Donotgiveashit · 09/07/2025 17:03

If it could be cooler on Sunday I would appreciate it….12 hour shift that day!
Otherwise I enjoy the hot weather,dog not so keen.

jaws33 · 09/07/2025 17:04

So over it, this week has been fine with 26 but I can do it without the 30 degrees!

MushMonster · 09/07/2025 17:04

I am ok with the temperature, though UK is tough due to the humidity, which affects my breathing a bit.
It is most definitively global warming, as this has become the norm, instead of an exception. Summers are much warmer and lighter. On the positive, plants are going mad with the fertile soils and extra light days.

user1476613140 · 09/07/2025 17:10

Can't go cycling in extreme heat like that so that's my plans fu*ked right there....

SirChenjins · 09/07/2025 17:10

Brilliant - can't wait for a few days of sun and temperatures in the mid twenties. It's been mid to late teens here and cloudy.

HundredMilesAnHour · 09/07/2025 17:13

Dreading it. My neighbours seem to take it in turns to BBQ / party right underneath my windows and I don’t get a moment’s peace. Some rain to keep them away would be very welcome!

I like the heat when I don’t have to go to work - and my neighbours are out!

chattyness · 09/07/2025 17:13

No heatwave here it's been raining a lot , I'd quite like some some dry weather for a change please.

Maybe we can swap? I’m in London and it’s currently 26 degrees here (at 5pm). Over 30 is expected tomorrow.

Jaxtellersoldlady14 · 09/07/2025 17:15

Hate it we was in the caravan on the last heatwave weekend and was unbearable! Too hot to go out, too hot to stay in the van, sleep was none existent.... back home now and first think we did was buy an air con unit... its bliss so feel more relaxed now

ErlingHaalandsManBun · 09/07/2025 17:16

Love it, can't wait!!!! Already got burgers and BBQ stuff on my ASDA order ready for a BBQ this weekend.

I would rather have this any day over sodding wind, rain and cold.

Its Summertime people, enjoy it!!!! 😎☀🍔🍺

The long, dull, shit, crappy stormy nights will be back before we know it.

Not looking forward to no sleep.

VirginaGirl · 09/07/2025 17:18

I think that this year, we are actually getting a summer. Remember the relentless grey cloud of the last 2?

MidnightPatrol · 09/07/2025 17:19

Thrilled to be getting a good summer for a change!

Have refreshed the water in the paddling pool, ready to go from tomorrow!
