Heatwave support thread part two :

[the80sweregreat]

ONLY for those who hate this heat, heatwaves , not sleeping because it’s unbearable and can’t understand why anyone would like it
Come here for a moan .. hot weather lovers can start your own thread !
.. ( the other one is full )

As far as I can make out from the predictions, it means winter in the UK is more likely to be colder and harsher than usual.

54% now

Cant wait for the winter hating thread so I can join in... who actually misses scraping the windscreen of the car, "being cosy under a blanket" (you are freezing) and dark mornings at 8am and nights at 4pm..... UGH!

I never scrape the windscreen. I pop the engine on and it defrosts while I put on my make-up and make my coffee. Jump in 4 mins later - all done and the seat has warmed up :)

I understand people hating the cold, but they never understand my hatred of hot weather!

Just a bit of fun - we are all different arnt we.

Yeah! I know lol
It’s not as hot today , so that’s good. 👍

It's lovely here in London. I was finally able to get on the Tube without melting. Pl let it continue.

We need rain and I’m getting twitchy that there isn’t much on the horizon for my area.

Papers are scaremongering about the next heatwave at the end of July. Please tell me it's bollocks...FFS

I’m enjoying the respite, fully expect more hot weather. Trying to stay positive, the nights are drawing in, and a hot August won’t be as bad as a hot June. I like wearing more layers, and when I watered my pots first thing it was chilly, I relished it.

Theyd fucking better be. I have to go back to the dentist next Tuesday. I had an extraction today because i had a loose tooth near the front of my mouth which got worse on Sunday

Yes agreed. It was cloudy here today. It felt odd not to have hot sun bearing down on me and my poor garden.

I must admit it was clouds thismorning and it was the first time I got my dog out for a full hour without her struggling. Shes a wee pug and it was lovely to see her get a proper walk / sniffs, etc. Then there was a good bit of sun again.
Think its all about balance and that is the problem... there isn't any. Its one extreme to the other.

I hate winter as much as I hate summer.

Mostly because I live with an elderly person who feels even the slightest drop in temperature so our heating is on sometimes up to 30° because we don't have a thermostat.

That means dressing for the weather is exceptionally hard. I struggle with getting dressed due to a disability so "popping an extra layer" on when leaving the house, other than a coat is really difficult if it means going up stairs, finding a jumper that has been packed away, putting that jumper on, then realistically it means sitting and waiting up to an hour for said OAP to have a coffee and a fag and get their clobber together, to then leave. It's never as simple as just popping a jumper on and going.

It's leaves me too hot and bothered and exhausted meanwhile any nice drop in temperature means hours of listening to moaning that it's too cold, hips aren't working, we're paying for the heating for it to just get pissed out of the house (it isn't), can't get warm and stay warm but they won't wear socks or have a blanket or a hot water bottle, or wear gloves or a hat outside.

I know everyone feels the temperature and air pressure differently, and when I'm the same age as my nan I'll probably be having a moan about it too.

If I could afford to have an extended skiing trip somewhere during winter I'd be off like a dart.

I just want one time of year for a few months where it's a nice 20-22°, sunny with clouds, some drizzle with bouts of heavy rainfall, and we're allowed to open the windows for a breeze without it causing anyone's muscles to seize up.

I wish I could do that but next door who have electric cars, actually knocked on our door once to tell me I'd left the engine running! If only I'd had the balls to say fuck off you nosy ....?!!!

People who leave their car idling annoy me too especially in the summer when people's windows are open, plus it's illegal.

I wouldn't dare say that to our neighbour when he leaves his engine idling for (literally) half an hour on a regular basis, because I prefer good neighbourly relations!

Nothing neighbourly about polluting your air.

They make me feel murderous! my street is terrible for it, I sometimes go out and challenge them and have been rewarded by a mouthful of abuse

On the subject on idling vehicles, it gives me an extra sense of rage when people leave their motorbikes idling for AGES, supposedly "warming up" and/or they then sit on it for what seems like forever and keep revving the engine.... honestly it just makes me see red!! 😡

I do it on a private drive. Neighbours can't even see my car. It os perfectly legal on a private drive.

In any event, you'd have to get theough my gates first.

I'm a poor person living in a two up two down terrace and my front room opens onto the street so the polluted air from a running car engine parked on the street comes in straight through my open windows. Very anti-social but I guess beggars can't be choosers 😙

I escaped the heat for the last ten days on holiday in North Wales where it was about 5 degrees cooler tha S. Wales where I live. And had a nice sea breeze 😁. Now back at home and it's horribly hot. Anyone else get really exhausted by late afternoon, especially if out and about in it?

It's not nice though is it.....
