Another heatwave on the way, is everyone ready for number five?

[Snuggleup]

Another heatwave coming.
Are we all ready for heatwave number 5.

Same and tbh even when we don’t use the bbq we eat outside most evenings now. Plus means I don’t have to clear away all the kids crap off the table before dinner!

We’ve had loads of grasshoppers. It’s the one thing I do not like!

Lashing with rain and quite cool this morning. North Scotland. My heating has been back in this week.

That’s exactly what my DH said when he was returning from Scotland in May

I’m sick of watering my garden, it takes me an hour each evening. However much I put on, it’s all wilting by 11 the next day 😭

It’s not just the south though, it’s central England too. My Midlands friend is also suffering

I haven't worn one summer dress or pair of shorts this year which is the first year in ages.
I'd have been happy holidaying in England this year rather than have the stress of going abroad.

I love the heat and sunshine as long as it’s cool enough to sleep- have decanted to the sofabed downstairs during the hottest nights here in London. Plants are getting used to having buckets of water chucked at them- not got the energy for the watering can now the hosepipe ban is in place. They seem to be ok with it.
The humidity is hard though, I need dry heat (fibromyalgia).
Not a fan of winter but can cope if the sun still comes out. Rain/damp makes my whole body ache.

I'm done with it, and I'm in NW England.
We're just about to head to Scotland on holiday though which is great timing! Very happy this is the year we chose to have a Scotland holiday!

i don’t think daytime has got under 25° at hottest part of the day here since July heatwaves started?

It’s only showing 30° here next week?

We hit a record (for 24hrs!) during the first heatwave 😇

Personally I’m loving the weather as usually we stifle in the classroom for weeks and then it rains when summer holidays get going.

So I’m happy this year!

It may need to rain soon though as loads of school work to do 😂

I doubt very much you would swop if you knew what it was really like living in it.
It gets to 28 feels like 31 where I am and that's bad enough. Plus there is now the talk of problems for food production in the UK who seriously wants this heat and no rain?

it Was lovely in the week. Gonna boil in London again esp Thurs/fri being mid-30s.

Yes,if it comes to Scotland. Sick of grey,windy days and rain.

Will this be the last this week, I really hope so? Our garden never looked more beautiful in May, now I have given up, we have lost so many shrubs and plants.

Can't believe some of the responses on here about the heat being so great. It's climate changing and not for the better. It's going to carry on getting worse, it might be novel this year but in the long term if it's affecting the environment and food production. Prices will go up all over the place and it's not as simple as ,well we import food, other countries are in the same if not worse situation than us.
Be careful what you wish for - just saying.

Yep. Can’t wait. I bloody love it.

I’m near Glasgow and it’s bucketing right now. Normally I’d moan and be gutted about not getting a washing hung out but I’m actually grateful for it.

seeing aerial views of the parched ground across England isn’t nice

Anything over 30 and I can’t cope with it

I so agree with you. I’m in the South East and it has been thirteen weeks with no rain.
The summer has been one long fucking heatwave; it’s actually ruined summer for me because of the extreme heat. The house just doesn’t cool down.

I keep looking ten days ahead on the weather app and there is no fucking end in sight - I actually cried the other day. My body feels like it’s boiling from the inside, no respite since May.

We've only had 2 legit heatwaves on my stretch of the south coast. Don't think temps are rising to 30 this time either. You all need to be living by the sea - come and revive our dying bucket and spade resorts!

No jobs here mind.

i saw a crow with his mouth open, apparently it is done to cool down.
i see empty ponds and birds hopping around desperate for water
i worry about the animals

I've lost several plants, they were planted in spring so didn't get a proper chance to get established before being blasted with heat. Everything is dying here (south east/London).

I hate the heat, and also have low blood pressure like a PP, so it makes me feel quite unwell. Am also on (cancer) medication which means I feel the heat more. I've always known I dislike summer - and have realised it's summer SAD. Am quite depressed at the thought of more. At least can we have some rain!

I'm fine with cold weather, don't seem to feel it like some people do. Maybe they're lizards 😂😂

I hate the cold so I am loving this weather and the big bonus for me is getting the washing dry every day. Bit of a saddo I know but with two large loads every day, it makes life so much easier. Have a tumble dryer but loathe using it.

If you fancy a house swap for a bit I’m your gal, lol. Central Scotland isn’t great weather just now and I love the heat!
Ps not being deliberately goady. I appreciate heat like England is experiencing is a real challenge as this country isn’t set up for it. We need longer term solutions if this is going to be the norm. I wish governments would take climate change seriously.
