Am I the only one that doesn't like this weather?

[louisawhitegenius]

This may possibly just be me but I actually can't stand this weather! I get anxiety every summer. The thought of being outside sweating, itching, burning and surrounded by wasps/flies is like my worst nightmare. My poor kids/hubby think I'm insane (they do go outside obv) but I am much happier being in doors with windows open and fresh air/sun coming in than being outside and so uncomfortable. I do burn easily and hate the feeling of suncream (especially when it drips off in white streaks, stains clothes etc...) please someone tell me they have the same experience, I feel particularly naff about it today and friends invited us for a bike ride and felt bit crappy turning them down as I cannot fathom how on earth that would be enjoyable but felt shitty turning them down with no real reason as to why! I often turn stuff like that down in this weather as I just do not enjoy it. Favourite time is around 6pm when it is cooling off so we often do stuff in the eve. Is it just me???

I like a sunny and warm spring or autumn day but don’t enjoy summer - it only gets worse too, as the evil little fuckers (wasps) are about to start coming out - hate those bastards.

We had a very loud thunder storm around 4ish this morning, with really heavy rain.

Dog woke me and we went downstairs. Ended up sitting holding her for about an hour, got back to sleep eventually.

That's been it for rain here for now. Hot and sunny again.

I'm very lucky, if I open enough windows my house is very cool and the garden is very shaded.

It was supposed to be raining and thunderstorms here today (albeit along with the 30° heat) but I'm pissed off as it's uber sunny again. I like nice weather but around 21° is ideal for me. I don't mind being abroad and hot as there's nothing to take care of, such as work, cooking, housework, and it tends to be a dry heat rather than the sticky humid heat you get here.

I hate it😨😨 I have a condition that makes my blood pressure very low and my heart rate very high and heat is a huge trigger 😥😥 I'm so sick all day and it's set to be hot again tomorrow. My house is also like a sauna and nothing seems to be bringing the temperature down inside.

[PickAChew]

I have a heat rash across my chest.

[SerenityNowwwww]

Nooooooooo it was supposed to thunder tomorrow (I love a good thunder storm) it was supposed to rain today but it didn’t happen. I’ve just checked - bloody sunny tomorrow and a piddly bit of rain on Saturday.

I am melting here!

[Snooks1971]

I am SO HOT. And not in a good way.

[ALongHardWinter]

BarbedBloom I can sympathise. I have RA too,but fortunately hot weather doesn't cause it to flare up. It's the cold weather that does that,and can make me feel absolutely rotten. However,it still doesn't make me like hot weather! Hope you feel better soon. I'm informed that it's going to cool down considerably on Saturday (20 degrees) .

[Iwalkinmyclothing]

No, I am surrounded by people and my social media is full of people complaining about the weather. Although I have managed to get through an entire day without being told "it's not the heat it's the humidity" which is nice.

I love this weather. I sleep so much better and my coccyx pain disappears and I just feel a million times better than when it is cold.

[ALongHardWinter]

Omg no YANBU. I bloody HATE this weather. Anything over 24 degrees and that's me done for. Are you new to Mumsnet OP? I'm asking because every year there are numerous threads about MNers hating this weather. I'm always pleasantly surprised to find that I'm not alone and that there are many other hot weather haters out there!

For me,it's the contstant sweating that gets me down. I can have a shower,and within 10 minutes of getting dry and dressed I'm a sweaty mess again. It takes all the joy out of everything I do. I know being overweight doesn't help,and I have managed to lose nearly 5 stone in the last 2 years,but I still have another 4 to go. I must admit that my heat tolerance has slightly improved. Whereas before I was breaking out in a sweat the minute it crept over 20 degrees,I've noticed that this year,I can tolerate up to 24 degrees. I'm just hoping that by next summer I'll have managed to lose the rest and 29 degrees won't be a problem!

[BarbedBloom]

Well I am in Wales and it says 32 degrees here. I am in the bedroom which is North facing with the curtains shut. It has really helped.

I spent yesterday bedridden as the heat flares my RA. I have a horrible heat rash and nothing is working on my hayfever. I went and sat in the garden at 2am last night and it was lovely. My poor cats haven't moved all day and are lying in here with me in the shade.

I am glad for some people who are enjoying the heat and sunshine, but I just cannot cope.

[Ginfordinner]

What I don't like is weather presenters assuming that people like this weather.

Because most people do like nice weather. Mumsnet has a disproportionate number of posters who hate summer. In RL most people love warmer weather, longer days, not having to have the heating on, being able to dry washing outside etc.

And not all of us live in London and the south east, so don't get the ridiculous temperatures that some of you are getting. Where I live, after tomorrow we won't hit 20 degrees+ for at least a week.

[Silversun83]

Hate it, unless abroad with air-con, low humidity and a pool. Makes me feel so lethargic, gives me headaches, difficult to sleep, makes everything about having two pre-schoolers 10X harder.. Etc etc.

Mind you, I also dislike winter and the dark nights.

Spring and Autumn fan here. Moderate temps, days long and light enough to not be so bleak but dark at the 'proper' night times! None of this day starting at 4am thing

[pigsDOfly]

Oddly, I find the older I get the better I am able to tolerate the heat; probably a hormonal thing.

I don't like it now, but when I was a young woman I really hated it, especially having to travel into the City on the tube.

I'm retired now so can stay in the house with all the windows open or in my shady garden.

That's fine, but I hate the fact that I can't take my dog out for a walk. She keeps doing these little yippy barks and looking at me in a 'where's my walk' way. We won't get a walk this evening it's still too hot for her.

[TheChestnutCafe]

Hate this weather over here. I'm sitting in front of a fan and keep spraying Magicool over myself to try to cool off. It's not working!
I've got a really unpleasant sweat rash between my boobs too 🥵

Love the hot weather abroad though but can go for a swim when I get too warm. Plus no housework chores to do!

[Destroyedpeople]

Can't stand it tbh...

[Scruffyoak]

This evening looks horrible. I'm at work. No air con. Its fun when your in a pool or somewhere cool. No fun with ppe no air con its hell

[MerryDeath]

waaayyyy too hot. i max out at ~22 degrees c. I'm happiest in cool and overcast.

[Redcrayons]

Oh I love it, although I would prefer if the temperature dropped significantly at night.
I don’t mind a few days of rain So long as we get some hot sunny days.
I hate cold.

[PowerToTheMeeple]

I’m on nights this week and trying to sleep in the heat is awful, it’s not good the the patients on the wards of an evening either - the hospital is like a sauna! I can’t wait for the cooler weather to return

[UnfinishedSymphon]

I hate that I can't sleep at night, last night was horrendous and I think tonight will be worse as thunderstorms predicted in the early hours which will bring the humidity.

[TweetUsOnFacebook]

It makes me feel ill and want rip out and the carpets and soft furnishings because the house feels so uncomfortable.

I'm counting down the hours until tomorrow 🥵.The forecast says it will be 8-10 degrees cooler and then low 20s for the foreseeable 👍

[MegaClutterSlut]

Fucking hate this heat and have always hated summer
