I am not coping

North west here. 23 degrees with a cool strong breeze. Perfectly manageable.

eh...Im on the fence.
Not quite as hot as Satans' sweaty arsecrack AKA London where I am but Im close enough that its only a degree or two off.
Its not the heat for me its the lack of time to acclimate. I need to psych myself up for the really sweaty, miserable, horrible heat....dont just dump it on me with barely two days notice!

Just been walking in the lake District, thick fog, freezing up the top, and pretty grey!

When it went really insane a few summers ago it really helped putting sheets up over windows and doors on the outside so the sun never hits the windows

I usually hate anything over 25 but since losing 4st I am coping much better, still too hot for me though, on holiday it's not too bad as have the pool, sea, air con and no work or chores. Trying to clean my house in this weather is impossible.

13 degrees where I am cloud sun and wind could do with some of your heat

South west. So jealous of the heat everyone is experiencing, it’s windy and cool here.

If you’ve got a loft hatch, leave it open so the hot air can rise. It works!

Southampton was 28 today with basically no breeze. Almost fainted..another with chronic health issues - endo, hEDs so everything is swollen. Currently buying a fan !

It’s 26 degrees here in South Lincolnshire…hardly a heatwave! Just a lovely sunny day 🤷‍♀️

The industrial floor fans are the only way to go xx

I'm old enough to remember when 26 was considered a scorcher

Bring back the summers of 19°

I’m in London and I’ve been gardening all afternoon. Apart from my little plants drying out before I could get holes dug for them, it’s been glorious.

I'm here in a cardi, I must be sitting in the wrong sheltered corner sigh Central belt of Scotland

Sympathies I am useless in anything above 25c. Moving to Scotland helped! Currently sitting outside in a skirt and long sleeve top, just grabbed a jumper as it’s chilly. About 18c here. Move north!

Girl i watch Two Doors Down so much, I think in a Scottish accent! 😭😭

If i didnt love my London, i'd be right there!!

It’s a balmy 14°c here.
I've got all the windows closed and I’m sat lolling on my sofa in the sunroom scrolling Mumsnet. 😂

Well at 62, I suspect I’m older than you OP, so I’ve survived many a ‘scorcher’ (summers of 76 and 22, I’m looking at you!) 😍 Temperatures really soared then!

26 degrees is just lovely 🥰

My house has foot thick walls. It’s freezing! You’re welcome to join me but I live up North!

It's 19 degrees here. I feel robbed.

Snap! Cardigan I mean. We hit the heady heights of 16 degrees in my part of Wales earlier today.

I love a hot, sunny day usually but currently writing my final assignment for this year's module so not enjoying it, the nights are the worst, even having the bedroom window and too massive fans don't help in bed.

38+2 weeks pregnant here and been having contractions on and off all day… the heat (about 27c) has made it SO FUN! I am loving life 😳🤥

It’s been 28 here in Suffolk. I mowed the lawn early this morning and have done nothing but lay on my sunbed under the tree all day. It’s been lovely. I wouldn’t want to be at work in it though.

😄😄😄 completely agree

I took dd back and bought more 😫, plus some shloer for her (ignoring the voice of her future therapist in my head)

I reckon the sainsburys staff will have labelled me an alkie the amount ive bought today!
