To be sick of this heat? (Lighthearted!)

[AmyFarrahFowlerCooper]

I can't bear it anymore! I'm sick of being sweaty and sticky and grumpy! How do any of you in permanently hot countries cope?!

So hot can't sleep.

Me neither

I despise the heat and humidity of summer. I love the short cool days of Autumn. Nothing like being cosy in front of the fire with a cup of tea.
Right now even my boobs are sweating...

I don't manage in the heat well been staying in the shade all day toay, but still felt I'll this evening with a headache and was sick.

Now I'm awake because it's too stuffy with the windows open!

I like spring and autumn best

Of course it's fecking hot - the Met have actually issued a heatwave warning. That means it is too hot.

It's the lack of wind that's killing me. I like the sunshine, beautiful blue sky, but there's nothing to take the edge off the heat.

I will be spending the afternoon chasing the shade around the beer garden, drinking cold cider. Or maybe a cocktail with a little umbrella...

Oh god just read yet another article which says the hit weathers going to last another month :(
fed up already so is my little baby- damn weather how dare you be hot

A MONTH

Christ on a bike. Hot stuffy flat, hot stuffy office, no air con in my car, prickly heat, hayfever.... I've had enough :(

Oh god, the hayfever...nothing is touching it. Why, summer, why?

I feel your pain grumpy

the heat can go do one. lifting tarmac on m25. not cool bro

This morning up to 2pm was lovely - fresh air cooling breeze, then at 3pm the sky hazed over and there was suddenly no air movement and was too close. The heat is now oppressive with no cooling breeze.

It's best when the sky is bright blue as then the air is clear and fresh and has less humidity.

england gets more than 3 weeks of sun. why does everyone say theres not enough sun/heat in this country? and the heat more than makes up when its cooler. feel like im living on the sun.

thats why were moaning about it.

poor child slathered in prickly heat pwder in front of fan, windows shut as theres no breeze anyway and neighbours all in competition to see who can have loudest parties/smelliest bbqs, cant sleep in this heat, cant sit in garden (the rare 5 mins of quiet we get round here) as full of bees (who said the bees are disappearing? theyre all in my garden).

the flies, the wasps, food going off quickly. oh i could go on.

musicposy okay for yuo living on the south coast but most of us dont have that luxury near the sea.

I put "Let it snow" on in the car earlier. DH made me change it even though he hates the heat as much as I do. Probably more actually given his miserable reaction

Audrina you read my mind! was about to suggest songs like that, and stupid but effective (well for 5 minites anyway) things to keep you cool.

1- theres diving on eurosport. watching a swimming pool makes me feel cooler!
2- christmas songs! think cold.
3-sitting with feet in a bowl of cold water.
4-thinking of thinns that make you shiver (as in, fingernails down a blackboard, polystyrene rubbed together, stuff like that).

works for a while.

Not tried it this time around but watching 'Touching the void' cooled me right down. I do live near the sea (firth of forth) but it's still too darn hot.

i wish the sun and heat lovers would come round my house and:

do the housework-too hot to
pay my water bills for all the showers we have to take
pay for all the fly spray that we choke on
pay the electricity bill from having to keep a fan on.
calming down a child that cant sleep or function in the heat.
throw some shade on us.

I think that only people who don't sweat, don't burn, don't commute and don't have children can enjoy this heat!

and also live by the sea or have apool in their garden! and have personal chefs so they dont have to sweat it out in the kitchen

I don't like it at all, I love the cold weather and SNOW .I keep looking to see if anyone has started a 'will it snow this year' thread.

We went to Dubai on holiday at the end of May and it was about 43 degrees most days and was lovely. Everything was Air conditioned and there was a pool/sea to jump into...we all slept well and woke up refreshed despite the heat.

Over heat its just muggy and humid...not nice!

I loved the weather in California when I went years ago, pre-children.

it was sunny, and it was a dry heat which meant you didnt sweat at all.

plus, also being on holiday naturally youre by a pool/sea all the time.

i agree, hear its the humidity and muggy and sticky all the time.

and just as bad is that it keeps people out later, so as weve got a pub on street corner leaves us with drunken yobs latwer and later, parites and bbqs and kids staying out later too.

carrying round a packet of wet wipes is a bonus too. and putting long hair up.

hate hair sticking on my neck and face and getting frizzy.

and some body spray. hate the smell of sweat, and i sweat so much Im like a water feature!

as for other sweaty people especially on crowded public transport. eeeewwwww.

I like the sun.
But DD who is 14 weeks old really is struggling in the heat, even in the house.
It's making her very grizzly, tearful and sweaty and it's not very nice to see her like that.
So many for that reason - plus I have hayfever - it's about time it cooled down a bit. Not completely; 20'C would be nice but there we go.
