NelferchyLlyn · 19/05/2026 20:26

I'm jealous of you 😫

Not sure, op, i must do SOMETHING

AnnaQuayRules · 19/05/2026 20:27

We live near the coast (6 miles away) so might go to the beach for a swim. We get sea breezes so it never gets ridiculously hot. I'll walk the dog early.

TheFairyCaravan · 19/05/2026 20:28

DH is planning on working in the garden.

I’m planning on parking my arse firmly on my garden furniture and not moving much.

hahabahbag · 19/05/2026 20:28

The sea is at the end of my road which means it never gets hot!

Frumpitydoo · 19/05/2026 20:28

When's this scheduled for please?

hahabahbag · 19/05/2026 20:29

Just checked, max predicted here (sw) is 24

Davros · 19/05/2026 20:29

Charge my neck fan and take it with me to the Chelsea Flower Show on Friday

scalt · 19/05/2026 20:29

Hiding all the threads on MN moaning about it. One done already.

Putting on sun cream for the first time this year.

And wearing my nice airy trainers without socks.

Fraughtmum · 19/05/2026 20:30

Waft.
It will make my roseacea flare up so I shall be walking at 7am, and remaining in the shade. I have nothing planned, will do lots of reading and nothing else

DelilahBucket · 19/05/2026 20:31

Heatwave? Max 25 degrees here. That isn't heatwave territory, that's just really nice, get the suncream on and BBQ out weather.

youalright · 19/05/2026 20:35

Barbecue and working on my tan 😁

OriginalPedant · 19/05/2026 20:35

I don’t think it’s going to be roasting, only 27 degrees here.

Coincidentally, we have an entire weekend of socialising already booked. The do we’re hosting here is now a barbecue 🎉, pub get togethers will now be in the pub gardens. We can’t wait.

I only hope it lasts a few days, if not weeks.

vipersnest1 · 19/05/2026 20:38

Due to get up to 27 here Wednesday week, in the middle of temperatures of 23 plus for eight days. I have some painting to do (renovating a metal cabinet and a kitchen island), so will get on with that in my garage to take advantage of the warmth and shade. I also plan on doing some tidying in my garden to get some sun in advance of booking and going on a much needed holiday.

And us. However, suspect we'll be inundated with tourists so will hang around with family, grandkids in our garden or theirs. It's not forecast that hot here but 20c is warm enough for me.

Shitzngiggles · 19/05/2026 20:41

Sunbathe to get my tan started ready for my holiday in Greece next week. Also looking forward to wearing my nice new summer clothes now I've lost 3 and a half stone. Bring it on, love the hot weather.

HomeTutor · 19/05/2026 20:44

Heatwave 😂😂😂
Fuck my life. Its going to be warm. Why do we have to be so fucking dramatic? Its coming into summer. Im going to cut the grass and do normal weekend stuff. Just wearing shorts.
The end 🙄😂

RampantIvy · 19/05/2026 20:44

We are forecast a perfect 25 degrees on Sunday. I shall enjoy my garden and going for lovely walks. The roads to the coast will be jam packed and so will the trains as it is the beginning of half term as well.

It's a warm spell rather than a heatwave round here.

I am looking forward to getting into my shorts for the first time this year, and will hide all threads from people complaining about the nice warm weather.
