To hate this English Summer and the boiling hot weather we’re having?

[IHateSummer2018]

It’s so hot! Appallingly so. I am in the lightest of t shirts and yet still sweating. I love the sun on holiday but hate it in this country, it seems more a blistering kind of heat, disgustingly so. Hope the summer ends very soon! Bring back Autumn/Winter!!

NC because people display negativity to those that dare say they hate the sun

It’s not even hot yet , unless the OP is in some kind of microclimate. Next week, though, according to the forecast ....... . I am not a sunbather by any means or lover of hot climates but I think this summer so far has been lovely - everyone in a good mood, sunny but not humid , apart from a mildly sticky night in the week. Pleasant lower 20s in London atm - going into centre of town for lunch in a moment without sense of sticky dread.

OP are you a Londoner living in a new build and commuting via Tube?

My water barrels have run dry.
Apart from that, I like the weather. I’d just like it to rain heavily twice a week between 2-5am.

I am hideously uncomfortable in anything above about 18 degrees so I agree with you - and I hate the fact the default weather person line is "it's going to be lovely weather, aren't you all lucky!". No, I'm going to be too hot, feel dehydrated no matter how much I drink, I lose my appetite, everyone smells sweaty out in public, and my house is boiling hot at night. Awful. It's 23 where I live currently and I am about to have a very cool shower. Bring on autumn, my favourite season!

It’s gorgeous in Oxfordshire. Perfect for a bbq. I love a warm English summer. It’s great to top up my vitamin D without having to go to the Mediterranean countries.

It’s currently 21 where I am and I’m having a Raynauds attack so I’m wearing jeans, hoodie and socks and I still feel cold!

It is not unusual temperatures for June. Slightly more humid than some other places, and there is the air quality issue because of diesel cars/taxis and too many people being idle and not walking short distances.

Difficult for some older people, those expecting and with any respiratory conditions or hay fever, but should be normal for everyone else.

The thing I hate most about this temperature is the complete inability of English people to dress with any style. The easiest way to spot a white person of non-UK heritage is by the way they dress in warm weather.

I can't stand the relentless pressure to go out and enjoy the sunshine. I'm enjoying watching Netflix in the shade thanks.

Also, whoever said "enjoy it and stop being a misery"... Surely the point is that the OP doesn't enjoy it? People get so weird about the fact that some of us don't like warm weather!

Love warm wether! It doesn’t register as warm with me until it’s past 23, and I’m happiest above 30. I even enjoy 40+ weather when we go to Spain or Italy though so don’t mind me.

I agree with you OP. I find about 20 - 22 degrees just right, particularly if near the sea. Forecast next week 27 - 28 degrees and I'm dreading it - although, again, if I was on holiday by the sea it wouldn't be so bad!!

I like the sunshine, though 25 is my maximum. However the pollen is killing my sinuses and I am sitting indoors with all doors and windows closed hoping my head doesn't actually explode from the pressure.

Sin e you're so sensitive you had to namechange for this thread, could I recommend the thread in Chat linked above where you will find others of the same mindset?

I think we have sufficient miserable months in the year as it is without begrudging the summer lovers their (generally) pretty temperate UK summers.

I'm with you too OP - some of us get it

@Sortofcool sorry for the derail, but I've never heard of that before. I have real problems with symptoms like heat intolerance and have always put it down to autism. I match several of the issues listed on the Wikipedia page (but not all). How did you get diagnosed? Is there any treatment?

Come to Scotland, no higher than 22 next week. It’s currently lovely, sunny with a breeze. I’m sitting outside wearing a jumper....

Well I agree I'm too hot. I'm 40 weeks Pregnant, it's about 23 degrees, no breeze and very humid where I am in North Wales. I can't find anything that is comfortable to wear and if I try an actually do any kind of activity outside I am sweating in seconds. I am not gonna apologise for being miserable.

I’ve actually enjoyed this summer and I’m no sun worshipper.
Not looking forward to sports day though, it’s forecast to be scorching.

Each to their own and if you hate it you hate it.
However, we get very few weeks of this kind of weather, so it’s a bit churlish to koan and berate people who do like this. You get your own way for a good 9 months. Quit moaning for the little bit of summer and allow those of us who do like it (probably the majority, despite what you have attracted here, because if the majority hated it it wouldn’t be known as good weather anyway) to enjoy it.

I despise English summer's. Clammy, humid ughhh

19.5 here move up north!

Well said @Cardibach
There are plenty of months in the year where the summer haters have things as they want.

I'm truly sick of dementors whinging every time it goes above 15 degrees.

It's freezing 10 months of the year - stfu and let the normal people enjoy the sun.

mogleflop. I have dysautonomia as part of another condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I’ve always had problems trying to adapt to changes in temp. If it’s a bit cold I feel freezing and a bit warm and I’m a dripping wreck with palpitations, nausea and headache. I have high blood pressure too. It was diagnosed at the same time as Ehlers Danlos just from my description of the symptoms. If you
Also look up Ehlers Danlos it might be useful to see if any of the signs of that are anything you have and going from there. No one seems to be able to offer any medication for the dysautonmia and I just get through it the best way I can and don’t go on summer holidays

It's all of 22 degrees with a decent breeze. I mucked out and worked the horses in a hoodie this morning...

My fibro systems improve dramatically during the summer. I hate winter because I am in agony for most of it
