What are you planning on doing in the heatwave ?

I thinking seaside

Im not a fan of heat i love winter time.

Family bbq!

Chill in the garden!

Where did you get yours from? We have a portable one but think need to get it done proper in two rooms

Either shutting my door because the noisy kids next door will be screaming and shouting, or door open and moaning and seething that their fricking parents don’t actually parent and let them scream like banshees. Quite often from 8am.
I can only hope that they actually go out unlikely.

I always feel deeply under pressure to do something or go somewhere (beach, caravan, city, picnic etc) when the weather finally turns nice. In reality I think we will just spend some time in the garden eating ice pops and jet washing the trampoline. Maybe the beer garden for a tea time drink. Going to a NT on bank holiday Monday but otherwise i think we’ll just take it easy.

I wonder what the water quality will be?

Supervising DH is a worthy task 😂👍🏻

Looks like an official heatwave! Think it has to be 28c for atleast 3 days here to count in this part of the south east.

My weather app shows highs of 23 in Suffolk. Hardly extreme

SE 28. It's going to need to get hotter than that to be considered a heatwave.

Since I had a stroke I can't handle the heat, so selfishly I hope it doesn't get any hotter than that here.

Make the most of it before it’s back to the dreary depressing days. Love a heatwave!

Seriously! You’d think we were going to have 38°C temperatures - get a grip and just put on a linen top!

Stay indoors as much as possible (cool
house) and any outdoor time in the shade. We're forecast 28° which is too hot to do much else. Annoying as I've got lots of gardening to do, will have to do it very early or very late.

Im comforting myself by the fast the longest day will be gone and done with soon lol

Unfortunately for me, as I hate the heat and find it exhausting, I will be walking around Chelsea in bloom. I will be dying.

It has to be atleast 28c for three days in a row for some areas in SE for an official one. Which it is forecast to be!

Others are lower. For example only has to be 25c in the north of England.

My flat/maisonette with east and west facing windows gets hotter than the sun in summer with anything over 25 degrees resulting in 30 degree plus temp indoors until the sun goes down.

So I shall mostly be weeping.

Eat all my meals out in the garden and drink many cocktails.

Same!

We’re camping!

Met Office says 28 on Friday, 30 on Saturday and Sunday, 29 on Monday and Tuesday, etc. here in Central London.

Thanks for the thread! I had no idea. Now at least I have some warning :-)

Ironically, DS and I will be on holiday in Sardinia. DH can't come as he's on crutches and has to keep his leg straight. I expect he'll have his DM round for drinks a few times.

It has to be over 28 degrees for me to take my cardi off so not heatwave territory for me.

Until I joined mumsnet I didn't know that anyone disliked summer.

I don't know anyone in real life who dislikes warm and sunny weather.

Life is much cheaper for a start - no heating required, and I can hang washing out. The sunshine cheers me up and as I have terrible eyesight the brighter weather means I can see better.
