To want to live in a temperate climate

[botswanabanana]

Live in s east and I'm struggling. There's been a run of 'topical nights'which is apparently when it never gets below 20 at night
Daytime is insufferable.
Where shall I move

It's global warming. I hate it....
Unfortunately its warming up in northern climates too. In fact, this year Svalbard (Spitzbergen - the nearest islands you can live on not far from the North Pole) registered 21 degrees...unprecedented. We can't escape it seems......

I personally think the big issue here is that it gets dark too late. I have been to hotter countries, where it gets dark around 7pm even at the height of summer, and it makes so much difference. I just googled and the sun is setting in Cairo at 6:39 tonight. Here it just gets hotter and hotter without enough darkness to cool things down. Some people may love light evenings but there are so many downsides. I’d rather be somewhere where it’s dark by 7.

Move to Aberdeenshire, stunning, cooler and take a look at what your house budget would buy.

Just don't tell everyone 😉

I think a big part of it, is that British houses are built to trap the heat. They're not built to repel it. What I would give for a couple of heat pumps right now, that do both hot and cold air. . .

I want somewhere that is 20°-22° degrees all year round during the day, and much colder at night. Does it exist?

I’m fed up now. Bedroom registering at 31° day and night even with the window open, and I can’t have an air con because I have indoor cats (the windows have a mesh over so they can be open) so I just have to suffer 🥵

This is a temperate climate. We are classed as 'temperate maritime'.

I'm in the south east too. It's awful. Have also lived in a hotter in general country, but it wasn't often this high for days in a row and was a dry heat, which made all the difference. We are due rain tomorrow, let's hope it happens and cools things a little. Could also do with a break from watering the poor scorched garden.

Move further north?

The U.K. is temperate though. I've lived in countries twice as hot as this. The difference i think is modern housing design in the U.K. it's pants and houses just don't stay cool the same as they do elsewhere.
☝️ This

UK is temperate climate 🤭 just having a week or 2 of hot weather that of countries deal with For months doesn’t mean it’s tropical.

The houses and air con here are terrible so that’s probably it.. if you want cold and wetter climate Scotland should do it 👍

Air conditioning is the answer

It doesn't feel very temperate at the moment - I think that's the point that OP is making.
I quite fancy moving to Iceland @botswanabanana

It’s only a couple weeks a year it gets this extreme, generally speaking. It isn’t enjoyable in the heat of the day but I love the balmy mornings and evenings.

Get A/C! 'Up north' is no cooler. A/C is the answer.

We are in one of the most temperate countries. Go south to mainland Europe or Africa for hotter, or north for colder (and far more snow etc) in places like Iceland/Norway

Or come to Maine for hotter summers AND colder winters.

Fall is beautiful...

Get A/C! 'Up north' is no cooler. A/C is the answer.

What bit of 'up north' are you in? It's certainly cooler in the summer where I am (Cumbria).

Much farther north than that, lazy.

Shutters would make a big difference at stopping the heat from building up, but for at most a few hot weeks a year and no guarentee of that each year, it's not worth it for most buildings to be heat proofed like that when the usual focus is staying warm. I had the central heating on a couple of weeks ago as DH cooled the house too enthusiastically then we had some grey cooler days.

It's the himidity that gets me. Drier Mediteranean countries are easier. Hong Kong in August was like a sauna stepping out of air con. Gross. Admitedly, I did get used to it after several days, but you generally don't geg long enough to get used to it before you need your jumper on.

In the west of Irelan, the ILs flop around lethargically when the mercury gets to a sultry 22oC

UK is definitly a temperate climate.
It's because no one is used to the heat and humidity that they drag out the deck chairs at 18 and flop about at 25.
So long as we don't have temps over 35 very often and don't have to dig out from snow for months in winter I think we are pretty lucky.
If we could get rid of the humidity it'd be a lot more tolerable for most people.

Nah, I sent years in a climate that was very hot and humid, but I had A/C! And yes it got dark earlier. And I was thinner!

I was quite sad when the summer of 2018 ended. I liked living in a hot country!

(Also SE England)

South east Scotland - cooler than the west but drier, and doesn’t get too cold in the winter. As long as you’re not in the hills major snow disruption is rare.

Its much cooler up here in the NE, the really hot days last week were 28. Not sure it ever gets over 30 at all.
I wouldn't like regular 35 degree heat at all, I heat you OP. Our houses aren't designed for it, neither are our towns and public spaces. It never used to be this hot, it is global warming as PPs have said. We need to start adapting in many ways.

I'm in the SE too. The last three summers have definitely felt like a shift in climate - 2018 was the worst - three months of heat and barely any rain - huge cracks appeared in our garden that have been there since! But this last week has been very difficult, especially at night. Just no escape. I'm obsessively checking weather forecasts and getting very disappointed as they keep pushing the predicted storms and rain back!

@RiseUpWiseUpEyesUp, it doesn't exactly fit the bill, but San Francisco averages aren't too far off!

@NoWordForFluffy that looks perfect, I’m off!

Air conditioning is the answer
And make Global warming worse
