It's 30 degrees
I'm sweating
We're all sweating and nearly naked

Would it be wrong to have a cup of tea.

My husband just asked me if I wanted a cup of tea. I gave him a withering look deserving of his idiocy. (Wink)

I had one yesterday in the heat, among.a group of socially distancing friends who were drinking frappé things. I didn't get any hotter, whilst they complained constantly about the heat.

teaflake · 26/06/2020 13:29

I drink tea all day in all weather. Go for it. Grin

Isthisfinallyit · 26/06/2020 13:31

Indian people and arabs drink tea so I see no reason to stop drinking just because it's hot outside. If anything it stops me from sweating for a minute.

The necessity for tea is not reduced by the weather conditions. It is never ever unreasonable to have a cup of tea.

woodhill · 26/06/2020 13:32

Yes I continually drink tea regardless of the weather

EatsShootsAndRuns · 26/06/2020 13:32

Having a cup of tea on a hot day can cool you down providing there's a breeze because the tea will make you sweat more. The sweat absorbs body heat and expels it into the air.

StickersandStripes · 26/06/2020 13:34

Tea is very refreshing, I drink the same amount in the hot weather asa y other time of the year.

Alittleshortforaspacepooper · 26/06/2020 13:37

It's 35°c where I am and I've just had a cuppa.

Mrsjayy · 26/06/2020 13:37

If you're British it's the law!

Having one right now

Zoomintheroom · 26/06/2020 13:42

Of course YANBU. I'm on my fourth or fifth one. It's important to stay hydrated when it's warm!

rslsys · 26/06/2020 13:44

It's National Cream Tea day, drinking tea is mandatory!

MangoBiscuit · 26/06/2020 13:45

I feel cooler if I drink a hot drink than if I drink ice cold drinks. Besides, it's tea. Of course YANBU.

zukiecat · 26/06/2020 13:46

Yes YABU,

Tea is disgusting horrible stuff, coffee is the way to go.

Justmuddlingalong · 26/06/2020 13:46

Yesterday I wish I'd stuck with tea. Instead my friend and I opened a bottle of gin in the garden. Today I'm hungover and sunburnt. So yes, I would recommend tea.

Put the oven on for scones!

ChippingIn · 26/06/2020 13:52

I've had coffee. Latte. My favourite Café creme is in a small village in France, so I sat in the scorching sun on my balcony, closed my eyes and pretended I was there!

Nuts I know, but beyond caring 🤣

Quackersandcheese3 · 26/06/2020 13:54

Have some tea !

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 26/06/2020 13:54

Best thing to do in hot weather. It helps bring up your body temperature causing you to sweat which cools your body down.

Not idiocy at all.

OohThatCat · 26/06/2020 13:54

I drink tea and eat hot porridge whatever the weather! I say go for it :D

Cam2020 · 26/06/2020 13:55

I feel exactly the, same way about coffee Grin Enjoy your tea, OP!

JuanitaJuanita · 26/06/2020 13:58

Tea. Yuk!

But I've had several coffees today, and continue to in all weathers!

Sedlescombe · 26/06/2020 14:02

Wasn’t drinking hot drinks supposed to call you down because it encouraged the production of sweat whereas cold drinks exaggerated the hot feelin
