[the80sweregreat]

As it says on the thread !!
I'm burning up in this humidity ! 😂🥵

First time i sat out in it today, 20 minutes and im burnt !!

Cant wait for the storm that due!!

I hate it. I hate it I hate it I hate it.

I feel like a total freak every year when every text message and email I get says something like ‘hope you’re enjoying the lovely weather!’ I just don’t get it! How can this be enjoyable?!

Today I had a Zoom and people were joining from their gardens and raving about the amazing weather and I was sat in my flat with all the blinds closed trying desperately to keep the sun out I feel like I’m completely missing something!

I can’t do any gardening because it’s too fucking hot. My plants are dying, I tried to water them this morning before I went to work but I could feel my skin frying. So I left them to wilt and went indoors. Sorry plants.

Have you got a fan people cos I’ve got a tip!

Get a tea towel, run it under the cold tap and wring, lay tea towel on your body and turn fan on - bliss!

Looks like the rain is over Kent at the mo

I'm prepared this year.

4.5 tog duvet.
Cotton bedding.
Fan.

I am clammy and red. Why must I go so red?
Urrrggghhhh.

I could feel my skin frying

Yes! I hate that feeling! I don’t even burn particularly easily but I just don’t understand people who actively seek to go out and sit in the direct sun when it’s like this. Even with sunscreen on, I just feel like my skin is cooking!

@TastyMeatPuppet you need a wet tea towel!

We've had19 degrees here and cloudy. We moved from the SE last year to NW and omg do I miss the sun! I feel your pain but I'd sacrifice that for sunshine!

HOW can you have a duvet in this weather?

If I cover at all, I just use a plain sheet or the duvet cover itself. Couldn’t bear a duvet anywhere near me.

Thank God we invested in installed air con ten years ago for our bedroom. Would have had to move house without it. Cools most of upstairs nicely if we leave doors open.

Sadly, I still have to go out into the world, and the hellfire that is SE England in the summer. 😡

One bedroom first floor social housing flat thats like a fucking sauna.

Hate the heat so much- I crave cool, fresh, crisp walks....mmm, must stop fantasizing and be patient!

I have found my people- can’t understand why on earth some like to literally fry and sizzle in the evil sun, sweating trickling down face, oozing out of your back and other places, headaches, heat rash, bugs, hay fever and sunburn- eeeeurrrgh!
Someone described love/hate of the sun as similar to introverted/extroverted folk- you either get your energy from the sun or it is depleted. Yup, I’m an anti social introvert and spend my time hiding from those unwelcome rays!

It was in the 90s here two weekends ago (that's about 33ish for you UKers) and only down to maybe 75 (24C) at night and on the Friday my air conditioning stopped working and no service until Monday. (It's not considered an emergency, only no water, water leaks, and no heat are. I beg to differ)

I felt like I was boiled alive in my upstairs apartment. It remained 85 in the apartment overnight despite fans and windows and vents and everything.

Thankfully come that Monday it got fixed.

I tell ya if global warming gets worse I'm going to be one of the first to get heat stroke and croak.

And I did the wet towels over my body as I lay under the ceiling fan and had a window fan blowing on me.

And yes my skin was frying and was red and taut on my face for a few days afterwards.

I read a book about introverts (as I am one) and curiously, we are more sensitive to variations in temp than are extroverts.

I like to joke and say my ideal comfort range for temps is between about 69.5 and 71. That would be 20.8 to 21.7 C.

I joke, but it's pretty accurate.

We don't have anything like your level of humidity here and the house is still moderately cool, but it's still been 30 degrees for several days... only one window opens in my car and the air con has run out of gas I've been offered a garage appointment for 5 July - I'll have melted by then! And when I get out of the car the most unpleasant thing is the sweat running down my top lip under my mask It's ridiculous - it was the wettest/coldest May in years and two weeks ago I was wearing long sleeves!

Ihavehadenoughalready that's interesting about introverts - I'm one too and I can manage about 21-26 degrees! Right now I have no idea why I moved somewhere with hotter summers and colder winters than the U.K.! Guessing you are further south than me.

@ScienceSensibility I cannot not have a duvet. I could be on fire and I'd be pulling a duvet on. It feels like a safety thing.
