Fingers crossed it continues!! About time we had decent weather in summer… to be fair it will probably rain next week 🤦‍♂️

Seawolves · 07/07/2026 21:28

My prediction is around 20th July when most schools will have broken up for the summer!

ImPamDoove · 07/07/2026 21:30

We’ve only just come in. Drinks and dinner outside again - bliss. It’s bloody lovely out there. Before long we’ll be back to crappy weather; we are making the most of it.

It's not decent. It's vile 😩

NaturallyCuriousCat · 07/07/2026 21:32

It's nice now with a cool breeze, but the heat in the afternoon can be overwhelming

Same here in north Derbyshire. Today was the first day it hasn't rained in this so-called heatwave!

Can’t stand it! Just pleased we have air con in the bedroom. Wanted to buy another unit but they’re crazy prices now

The first time I've ever thought about moving!

Haha I think it heats up a bit on Friday!

LlynTegid · 07/07/2026 21:39

When school holidays start.!!

Gengha · 07/07/2026 21:39

Move to Glasgow, we’re waiting for it to begin here.

It's not a 'so called' if you're in it.

its not enjoyable 'just summer weather' either when you have health issues either. Garden thermostat 37° today.

before the health issues I'd have enjoyed it but wouldn't have expected everyone to!

OneMintBear · 07/07/2026 21:41

It’s been 16c here today 😬 but as much as I would love a proper summer, 30c+ for days on end is a lot!

Mt563 · 07/07/2026 21:41

Yes, this will be the pattern of our ssummers going forward, some hotter, some less so. But with more frequent, more intense and longer heatwaves in the long term.

Yay climate change.

InkyWink · 07/07/2026 21:41

I'm finding it really tough. Especially with a toddler. Our house that seems to absorb the heat and hold on to it. Getting in the car feels like an ordeal when it's been baking in the sun.

Today I felt quite unwell with it, not helped by breastfeeding.

Yes of course !! Then it will be grey endless rain.! It's too hot for me though I don't know what's worse.

VIII · 07/07/2026 21:44

Probably as schools break up. Although I'm not sure I'll mind a wet summer after spending so many days melting in a greenhouse of a classroom. I'm fed up of ending each day feeling sick from teaching in the heat.

Tel12 · 07/07/2026 21:45

It's 22c outside and 29c in that's 9.45 pm. Fans on windows open. Hoping it will cool down by Monday.

FWC2026 · 07/07/2026 21:46

@PotteringAboutIn

it was forecast to be 10 days from
Sunday. Im counting down the days.

The weather Woman on the TV has just said that there's another one brewing though🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🤬🥵

Is that what people think about the climate crisis? Unless it’s over 30C each summer in Derbyshire, it’s not happening? Our summers are becoming unbearable in many places.

My car air con isn't working either, so no relief even once I get going I hope yours is working!

Then when we have to get aircon, climate change gets worse
