I am not coping

It’d turn green and mildewy. It’s what they recommend putting on new terracotta planters to “age” them 😆

Its the Co op Academy Manchester

Facebook need to ban the laughing emoji as a reaction choice.

They are used largely by political or commercial lackeys to discredit any opposing discourse or competition. Without the need for actual justification - very very very lazy and cowardly.

One town publication did and featured me in an article on it as i happened to fire an email which reached a journalist on there who despises summer the way I do!

34 degrees here today (just north of London) and DH and I are discussing getting aircon retrofitted in our house - or at least getting a quote and seeing how much it would be. The crazy thing is that our house is modern and was built to be energy efficient, it's super-insulated, requires very little heating in winter, but now we have the opposite problem.

It’s the industry to get into isn’t it! Air conditioning installers.

Yes, I suspect it is. I might suggest it to school leaver DS!!

Yeah, that's what all new builds are like

I've even had posters arguing with me on here that it can't be an insulation problem because then the flat wouldn't get hot. Both my current and previous flat were new/relatively modern. I had extensive discussions with the management company in my previous one. They were lovely helpful people and explaining how the building worked saved me a fortune in trying out temporary stuff or window coverings, etc and just going straight for an aircon unit

Mine is very old and I bought it in winter so I'm mostly hoping it survives this attack.

But yeah, once you look at the mechanics of how the place has actually been built, it makes perfect sense that it's always hot. I don't know why people who don't have this experience are so determined to argue about it.

if you are in a house and you can have a air-conditioning fitted, it's an absolute no brainer. My aircon unit gets used for weeks on end every year. If it's 25 outside, it will be much hotter inside.

I've just had another "race against time" with my ice lolly 😂

I miss pasta Its too hot in the Sanctuary sauna to cook Speaking of the HA the housing officer phoned DH in the winter hes 76 (i like to check my tenants are ok) because it had dropped to 10c

40c .............tumbleweed

this is just to point out that winter is taken seriously (even when its not that cold) while 40c isnt

I've definitely had enough now... Probably the hottest day here (35C in the SE). Pretty much been hiding in the house all day but now I just want a breath of air that doesn't feel like it's come straight from Satan's arsehole.😭
Dreading the thought of trying to sleep tonight.

And now im constipated Im sure its absolutely nothing to do with not being able to cook and eat properly in the Sanctuary sauna, Usually goes the other way so a 3am bath is looking more and more likely If neighbours complain Sanctuary has the choice........my baths or air con. This weather has really fucked around with my guts and made my condition worse so thems the breaks!!!!!!

In the Midlands here and it’s finally dropped to below 30 so I’m sitting in the garden as there’s a nice col breeze too.

Since Wednesday I have pretty much spent the whole day shut in one room with three fans on me and I’m so bloody bored!

I’m so glad that the temperatures are going to drop tomorrow and I can return to the real world again.

It's just suddenly freshened up a tiny bit here in Cheshire and man alive does it feel good. It feels like the worst is over thank the lord.

My fear moving forwards is the impact on other things such as the crops and the economy as we can’t just letting things shut down or have fridges not working.
I have too much time to think , but maybe the sun is actually burning itself out and we could be coming to an end ? ( I haven’t been drinking or out in the sun by the way !) The experts they have had on are all doom and gloom about further heatwaves and so on
it is worrying.

@Whyohwhy321 I’m in Altrincham and yes definitely starting to feel a bit cooler…. Still very clammy though

We're in the Midlands too and haven't had so much as a drop of rain. If anything it was actually hotter today and the humidity was unbelievable. I stood talking to someone in a non air conditioned room and could feel sweat trickling all down my legs! I was only there 5 minutes ffs!

It was worse. I was part way through teaching a class and felt my legs weakening as if I was about to pass out.

Its nearly 10pm.at night and this is still what.my flat bedroom is reading at. Opened all the windows just now but honestly it's completely horrendous and really does feel.like 40 degrees. The humidity is so high, it feels like there's absolutely no air and although I've dozed a little from the lack of sleep the previous night, not really. I'm starting to feel jot particularly that great.....I'm just so exhausted in every sense right now. My kitchen is also measuring around 29 degrees, 60% humidity too....I've not even cooked in it for several days! I'm starving but I just don't feel like I can eat right.now...

My idiots have been alternately baking on the patio or in the conservatory then coming in and flooping in a draught

I don't know how you teachers do it. DH teaches from home upstairs and he felt himself go dizzy from the heat so went downstairs and put all the fans on in a dark room. It was 32 degrees upstairs. Definitely hotter than yesterday.
And what's with all the humidity this time? My DF was in the RAF in North Africa and the temperature was well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit and he said it was nothing as bad as this simply due to the humidity we're getting.

Teaching has been horrendous this week. Children are feeling sick and are either completely lethargic or acting up. Most schools where I live closed this week, either half-days or full days. Mine didn’t and it’s been so, so bad. I’ve had migraines from the heat.

so utterly sick of this FUCKING SHITHOLE i reek of the place

Was on the news that NHS are having to deal with more cardiac arrests due to the heat. Still the UK can pat itself on the back for not using air con

2020................protect the NHS
2026................Fuck the NHS we cant use air con cos climate change
