Not round these parts! (Leeds)

Very disappointed 😕

25c in my corner of Scotland

32 where I am in Wiltshire at the moment. Bit of a breeze though so it’s manageable. I’m crocheting pumpkins in the garden and dreaming of autumn, but also don’t mind this too much. Until I have to move, that is. Such as in a hour or so when I need to go to the allotment to water the real pumpkins. Then I’ll mind it.

Hot hot hot in n Wales.

I want to go down to the beach this evening, but the dc say it's 'boring'. They have no idea how lucky they are to be 30 minutes away from it!

Oh to dip my hot feet into a cold sea!

Far too hot in West Sussex- 32 was the top temp earlier. I start melting at about 28!

All the headlines I read last week said a heatwave was coming but not for Scotland. It's 26 degrees here now and to be warm and sunny as far into the future as my met office app will go and I feel like I've won the lottery as I'm off work.

@theriseandfallofFranklinSaintWe’re 16 miles from you and it’s 27°!!! 🌞

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 12/08/2025 18:03

I’m just outside of Leeds and it’s 26 at the moment!

mondaytosunday · 12/08/2025 20:21

Jeez it was 30 yesterday, 31 today (London) - sweltering!

theriseandfallofFranklinSaint · 12/08/2025 21:13

Yes, to all you Leeds/Yorkshire lot, its hot now but the forecasts of heat/heatwaves/3 days of hot weather didn't materialise until this afternoon so I was a bit 🤨 about it all!

Sat in the garden at 9pm jow though and it's lovely... 😍

Count yourself lucky. It's already horribly hot in the west midlands.

Yep

I'd say no it isn't just summer, it's summer as we now know it, due to global warming in general.

My memories of 1976 are still too strong...

It's scorchio in the East Mids

YourNeedyLurker · 12/08/2025 23:21

Sat outside our camper van in 21c Ross on Wye. Need a cardigan after 32c earlier today. Bloody love it.

NewLifeLoading · 12/08/2025 23:23

Indoor temperature reached 30'
Outdoor was 33'

You are lucky

I'm in North London, 30 outside but a lovely 22 indoors thanks to aircon. Best money I have ever spent. I think when people say we only get a couple of hot days a year, they're posting from other parts of the country. We've had numerous 30 degree days this year where I am.

DS1 lives near London and installed aircon when renovating their house. As dyed-in-the-wool Northerners, DH and I were very sceptical about this new fancy pants Southern purchase.
They have had 2 more babies since acquiring it and say it has been really useful and we have recently had to grudgingly admire it on recent visits

JohnTheRevelator · 12/08/2025 23:38

Sorry but I just can't get my head around people getting excited about the prospect of 34 degrees. It's been 32 today where I am, and it has made me feel ill. 22/23 degrees is fine for me!
