To think people saying "stop moaning about the weather" need to fuck off?

I'm heavily pregnant, pale, ginger and really suffering. I'm sure there are people struggling more than I am though. I'm in London where it's expected to reach 32(?) today.

Not everybody can cope well with this heat and humidity. The met office has issued extreme weather warnings yet some people think we're supposed to be grateful for it.

AIBU to think those people need to fuck off?

Sometimes a good moan gets you through the rest of the day. In the heat, I find it oddly cheering to think about the moaning I will be doing about the cold in a couple of months time.

I feel for everyone who can’t tolerate the heat. 1976 was the hottest summer I can remember (and I was a student midwife out on a bicycle 😃) so probably I’m a good bit older than most of you!
Until I developed severe heart failure I loved the sun; now it means I struggle to breathe, I retain fluids so my fingers and feet swell and it makes me b..... miserable.
I sympathise for anyone for whom hot weather =misery.

Just got back indoors and sat myself in a cool shower.

Here here. My hands look like blown up marigolds when outside and go two different colours. Bleurgh.

Thank you for the sympathy ladies. I promise I'm not a grumpy cow by nature.

I admit that now that I'm sitting in 34°C water (perfectly balmy) and celebrating the end of 16 years of infant school it's quite nice to have great weather for it.
Happy Summer everyone, cheers!🥂🍾

Sorry it really is proper shit for you.
But this weather is the only time some of us don't feel cold and miserable. 11 and a half months of the year is crap weather.
