I hate to be that person

[youalright]

But my god its hot today. I know i shouldn't moan but holy crap and its only 10.15. I was so looking forward to enjoying a day in the sun but I don't know if i can hack it

You just work around it like people do in hot countries.
Wake up bit earlier dowhat you needs, lunch, midday nap, late afternoon you can get out in sun again.
I have south facing garden so all gardening is happening either early morning, or late afternoon. When out I just plan to be in shady part through midday.
The issue isn't even the heat. It's the annoying himidity and air pressure going up.

Edit to add, I have to do this every time it's high uv because I burn easy

I'm at the gym and the air con is fighting for its life 🥵

Its just awful.

I feel you OP! I'm on meds that make it difficult to regulate my temp so I have very little chance of enjoying the heat.

Grey clouds and my cardigan on in Lancashire

Hot here today. I opened the windows early so house is cool at the moment but it is hot outside.

Come to the north east. We haven't got the heatwave. It's currently cloudy.

I went into a big supermarket yesterday morning and it was artic in there, the staff had fleeces on around the freezer aisles. Air con working too well

Yep. Today Me and DD are going on a city break(meeting up with family) for 3 nights. Monday is saying 29 degrees! Just hope the air-conditioning is efficient at the hotel.

The best money we have spent in recent years is cartridge blinds for our south facing bedroom. Bought really to block out all the light and they do that brilliantly, but also in the hot weather they keep the room cool. Makes summer more bearable. 🥵

you can purchase stand alone units that do work well - but they are a bit like the old tumble dries - you have to put the tube out the window. https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/sf8000e/electriq-slimline-7000-btu-portable-air-conditioner

Obviously impossible when you're at work.

I'm in the NW and it's lovely.

I'm a bit like this. I seem to run warmer than most people so hate hot weather. Autumn is my favourite time of year.

Yeah i don't like the thought of having the window open all night just incase the cast of bugs life comes in or a serial killer

Ah, we should all be slim as you then we'd have no problems.

Hot, humid and sunny where I live. Yesterday I found myself searching for Scottish towns to move to 😄

🤣🤣🤣 can I come

And also air conditioning units

It's so tempting isn't it? 😂

We’ve intermittent sunshine but the doors and windows are open and it’s lovely. Our heatwave is due to top 24/25 so perfect.

Me too, having my first migraine for months as I’m on the south coast and it’s boiling.Plus I’ve been bitten twice by bugs,next doors dog is out in the garden barking and the other side are getting their stinky bbq/radio blasting out bank holiday weekend ready to go.Also couldn’t sleep last night as it was too hot and bright.I had work at 6am so Summer can bugger off

The heat is bad enough but I have shingles to add to the misery.

I’ve bought a load of plants but it’s too hot to be out there putting them in so I’ll do it later. I manage much better abroad sat next to a pool. I’ve found it helps to have a kids paddling pool full of cold water and then I can sit in my garden, feet in pool, with an ice cold g and t.

My cat loves the heat - she’s elderly and arthritic and I think it feels good on her joints.

On bright side you only need to wear a t-shirt & knickers, instead of taking hours to get dressed with all those layers in winter to stay warm! (such an effort undressing just to use the loo 😂).
oooh also the washing dries b4 you’ve finished hanging it out, & i only spin it on a very short spin to save electric 🤭
