To hate this awful weather

I was been bitten five times yesterday and now have unsightly red blotches on my arms and legs. I’ve spent today sweating like crazy all over (face, scalp, you name it) while attempting to keep cool in the furnace that is inner London. Tomorrow DH and I have been invited to a bbq and I’m having real anxiety about going, as I know I’ll be so hot and sweaty in front of the other guests Blush I also had loads of chores I needed to get done today which hasn’t happened as it’s been too hot to move. AIBU?

Hate it too. So uncomfortable and makes my ulcerative colitis symptoms worse

Not unreasonable, me and my dogs are all panting unattractively in the house whilst dh potters quite happily in the garden!!

MrsPellegrinoPetrichor · 25/08/2019 18:22

You don't have to go to the BBQ,why don't you stay at home in front of the fan in your knickers with an ice cold drink?

Thymejuice · 25/08/2019 18:26

YANBU. It's horrible and its ruined our bank holiday. We're hiding away indoors as it's too hot outside.

NoSauce · 25/08/2019 18:29

Awful weather? No that what last week and the week before that when it pissed down ALL day every day.

This is wonderful ☀️

elasticfantastic · 25/08/2019 18:34

I'm with you OP.. I hate the sun and hot weather... give me a breezy overcast day with a mid to late teens temperature over this any time! I'm not happy that the one week I've got off work the bloody sun has decided to put in an appearance! Grin

ethelfleda · 25/08/2019 18:36

Have my most emphatic ever YANBU

I have totally had enough of this weather. I’m dreaming of autumn 🍂

CalmAndQuiet · 25/08/2019 18:37

It’s clinate change. The 17 hottest summers ever have been in the last 20 years.

MrsKittyFane1 · 25/08/2019 18:37

YANBU.
I have done a ton of washing which has dried on the line but I am a mess. Tired and hot. We've been lying around next to fans all day.

MadisonAvenue · 25/08/2019 18:39

YANBU! I can’t wait for Autumn. This is unbearable.

Lunafortheloveogod · 25/08/2019 18:40

I hate it too, so far I’m coping by wrapping a wet muslin around my head like a hair band.. I look mental, it’s freezing cold and I’m not dying in the heat as quickly so I couldn’t give a flying feck

Alsohuman · 25/08/2019 18:41

This glorious warm sunshine is awful? No. Awful weather is the grey, cold, wet, dismal stuff that we’re going to have endless months of soon.

Irishgene · 25/08/2019 18:42

I can't stand it!

Whatafackinliberty · 25/08/2019 18:43

Well dont worry you've got 7 months of pissing rain and cold coming up soon.

EmmiJay · 25/08/2019 18:43

I've just returned from hours basking in the sunshine at Notting Hill Carnival. It was beautiful in the shade with loads of slushies, food and good music. If I was at home in this heat I'd be miserable so I say go to the bbq, hide under a shrub with a cold drink and enjoy☺️

ControversialFerret · 25/08/2019 18:44

I don't mind the higher temps - it's been great for getting the washing done! But my preference is for 18-20 daytimes; nice for going out and about but not too hot for the dogs.

drivingtofrance · 25/08/2019 18:46

Awful? A few more days at best then it'll be autumn.

Now rainy, cold, dark, windy weather is awful. with the dreaded countdown to xmas

DarkNoise · 25/08/2019 18:47

you know if you have a garden, and a cat, and some wine, and a barbecue its not too bad.

YABU. We have had weeks of pissing rain. Finally some sunshine. It's bloody glorious to sit out in the garden and enjoy it. Winter will be long enough!

dudsville · 25/08/2019 18:49

Personally I think there's ni such thing as awful weather, just weather we prefer. Do what suits you in the climate happening around you.

Widowodiw · 25/08/2019 18:49

You just for to go with the flow and sweat, we are all doing it some more ladylike than others but regardless it’s all sweat. 😊

Steviestamborine · 25/08/2019 18:50

Love the warmth but dreading going to bed, it’s unbearable upstairs

FuzzyPuffling · 25/08/2019 18:51

It's perfect here...temperature in the low 20s and a gentle sea breeze.
