To ask all of you to not even THINK about complaining about..

THIS HOT WEATHER.

Yes, it's hot and clammy.

Yes, I can't feel any breeze through the window.

Yes, the car is scorching when it's been parked in the sun.

Yes, the kitchen is like a sauna when cooking.

Yes, my feet look like they've ballooned up like a puffy fish.

BUT IT'S LOVELY SUNNY HOT WEATHER!! After all that shitty rain, it's absolutely lovely (and I normally hate hot weather).

Please don't jinx it......I don't want it to start raining again :(:(:(:(

What oddboots said. There is this prevailing opinion that sunny/hot weather is intrinsically "Better". No it's effing not. It's just different.

Bring back the rain please. I'm not thin enough to wear fewer clothes without children fleeing from me in the street, and I have to wear long sleeves to stop myself from getting sun/heat-induced rashes. Which results in me being even hotter and sweatier. STOP IT.

The sun is nice to look at out the window, yes, but can't it be sunny and oh, say, 16/17 degrees? Is that too much to ask?

Have a shower!? Are you saying I smell?

I've just had a shower. I feel a bit better! I've moved into the living room, which is nice and cool. So, ok, for now you can keep a bit of sunny weather. It seems to have clouded over here anyway. That's probably my fault, for complaining. :( Sorry.

I'm a winter person, I love the cold and the snow. Recently we've had mild but pouring rain, or hot and humid and pouring rain. I don't know what to wear in that weather - just a t-shirt and you get soaked, a coat and you end up sweating to death. It's hard. At the minute it is HOT, and I tend to wilt a bit in the heat (and die from hayfever), so I'm not cheerful. But I'm not going to complain too much because a least it's stopped bloddy raining. I'd rather be too hot and have to wear factor 50 all day, then be too hot and have to wear a coa and boots and end up with trench foot.

If you lot are whinging about 22 degrees being too hot, you're welcome to some Australian weather. In a few months time 40 degrees will be the norm. the laundry will dry before the next load is done, everyone is sunburnt and the whole country emits a genial stench of BO.

I'm enjoying the sun, especially after the weeks and weeks of unremitting grey wetness, but it is very hot for our elderly Labrador. Even doing early-morning and late evening walks it's too hot for him to indulge in his Favouritest Thing Ever (chasing his ball) so I'm a bit sad for him having his fun curtailed.

Hope you feel better soon Vermicious!

Okay can we all agree on even 18-20 degrees with no rain?

JumpingThroughHoops I second salad cheese and cold meat, who could even eat a roast in this heat anyway let alone cook it.

I've had the flu during the 31 degree weather in London so I will complain as much as I like

It's not lovely it's fucking awful.

So maybe you can fuck off with your cheeriness? Hmmm?

NO?

Then I can moan as much as I fucking like, OK? :)

It's wonderful. It gets the washing dry.

I'm British. Complaining about the weather is what we do.

I was comparing our 'warm spell' with a friend yesterday - he said that his 34 - 35 degrees with 90% humidity was a bit much.

I love it when it's warm but it's still v fleeting here in norn iron

It's fanbloodytastic! I suffer badly with SAD in the darker months and dull jweather. With sunny weather I positively thrive in it and am a different person inside and out. Love it

22 deg my arse. It was 30 here yesterday. Wouldn't mind 22.

70isaLimitNotaTarget. Great post

I like hot weather unless I have to do anything as it makes me lazy lazier

Just got back from Turkey where we had between 32 and 42 all week. Now that was too hot. Here we have had a lovely 22 to25 for a couple of days. It was perfect but now it is cloudy again-come back sunshine please.

Yanbu.
England is just gorgeous on sunny days, make the most of it!

Yes Shes and some of us suffer terribly with SAD in the sun, so a little compassion would be nice.

I think it depends a lot on where you live.

My house backs on to a shopping centre, with great stinking delivery lorries trundling through all day.
I have a tiny garden with low fence, so have to see all my neighbours mowing their lawns, and doing other 'British hot day shit'.
I have no air, and I sweat like a pig at the best of times, thanks to a stupid "minor" leaky heart valve.
And I can't find the energy to go somewhere else because I'm an anti social bugger

My grandma has a lovely big garden with trees and water features and it's quite nice there.

Haha!
I just moaned on your thread
Whatya gonna do eh?!

I must warn you, I have a black belt in bad singing...

I am 35 weeks pregnant and although it is so so so hot and I am struggling a little at night I will not moan! It's hard but I had visions of enjoying maternity leave in the garden and here I am with bikini and glorious sunshine although the bikini doesn't look quite as it used to!

I love it.

Shame I'm stuck indoors at work. All my patients are coming in going "it's lovely out there" - yeah cheers love

And doing smears when people have smelly trainer feet and sweaty fannies - ugh...

nope, it's horrible

try having a 5yr old whose skin is alabaster at the best of times, with prickly heat and sensory issues

still, not my problem for the next 24hrs as she's off to DS2s place for the night and DH has the rest of the day off - pub garden here we come!

I love it :) - ok its making me feel rather faint at times, but its still bloody gorgeous. I'm getting all my curtains and bedding and whatnot washed and dried in the mornings and can laze about in the afternoon.
29.4C currently here, I suspect we'll make it up to 32C today.
shame its going to change.
