Never been so pleased to be a bit chilly!

Probably the most boring thread ever but I practically skipped upstairs to get a jumper on, and am currently sat under a blanket. It’s actual bliss to not be hot, sweaty and sat next to a fan for 6/8 hours a day!

Anyone else faintly ecstatic to be feeling cold for the first time in about 3 weeks?

Yes it’s comfortable and am looking forward to a decent sleep for a change, no knitwear for me here though !

I wish op

decided July was a good time to go on a holiday and it’s 35 during the day and no lower than 29 at night here and we still have a few days to go yet 🥵

I was already struggling in the Uk with the heat due to peri and an autoimmune issue that means I can’t control my body temperature so it’s been absolute torture for me.

when we go bak I see it says we are due another bloody heatwave 🤦

Me too!

I actually needed to snuggle under my duvet last night. Wonderful.

It’s a joy, isn’t it. Just had to close the door as it’s a bit chilly.

JulietOscarBoring · 19/07/2026 21:15

You're not wrong. It is going to be a chilly 12 degrees tonight. Might have to get the winter duvet out tonight!

It’s still hot here but it’s comfortable rather than unbearable. It feels lovely. I love it.

Much easier to run in 19 degrees not 30

DungareesTrombonesDinos · 19/07/2026 21:20

I really really really really really love it. I love it!

Lentilcakes · 19/07/2026 21:20

It was 18c in our bedroom last night. Amazing!!

Octavia64 · 19/07/2026 21:21

All we need now is a bit of rain. Fed up watering my garden with a watering can

NoEffingWay · 19/07/2026 21:22

@EasternStandardvery much agreed on that, I go climbing indoors and there’s no air-con at any of the walls I go to. I had to stop going when it got to above 27c-ish as it was impossible. Today was the first day I’ve been where I didn’t have to leave due to the heat.

It’s still 25-26 degrees in my house so definitely not jumper weather, but much more comfortable than it has been for the majority of the past month!

TigerRag · 19/07/2026 21:25

It's still a bit warm here but not so hot that I need to put my fan on

It was grey, cloudy and slightly chilly this morning. Loved it!

Daisylove1 · 19/07/2026 21:41

It was 22 degrees today which was lovely. I’ve really struggled with the extreme heat, it made me very tetchy and I was constantly worrying about the kids burning etc. I’m hoping it’s like this for the rest of summer, this is what British summer should be like!!

Karma2023 · 19/07/2026 22:35

Can you also have some rain, nighttime would suit. Lots of light rain to help the gardens please

LaurieFairyCake · 19/07/2026 22:46

I’m on holiday somewhere it was 18 today rather than the 30 it’s been every day for a month where I live.

I was happy with it until I put conditioner on my hair in the shower and the hot water (Emersion heater) ran out and I was standing in the shower literally shivering until I rinsed it off. REALLY FUCKED OFF and cold for next two hours until I warmed up.

IberianLynx · 19/07/2026 22:51

Yes, 19 today in this part of East Anglia. I was overjoyed to shut all of the windows as feeling a bit cold. Looks like a pleasant 22 all next week too.

RogueFemale · 19/07/2026 22:56

Yes, it's actually been perfect here (south east) this past week, nice and cool in the mornings, then pleasantly warm until 8pm then coolish again. Do need some rain though.
