Anyone else sick to death of the heat?

[sickofthisshite000]

I know there have been numerous threads on this already but OMG, I cannot taking this sodding heat any more. I actually feel sick today because it's so oppressive and I can't get anything done around the house, which is like a furnace. Normally it's like this for a few days in the summer before cooling again, but it's been about six weeks of intense heat now in the south-east.

It's looking like tomorrow is the last of it thankfully - I sodding well hope so.

Anyone else completely fed-up?

I'm also in London and I like it. It's nice and warm and light, you can wear lovely summer clothes and feel the air on your skin. It's not grey and rainy and oppressive like it was in early summer. I get that others don't enjoy it, but I don't personally enjoy winter. Especially not last winter with the flipping windows open all the time!

I love summer - sitting in the garden after the kids have gone to bed and it does make me feel more cheerful. Unfortunately, it has been way more warm than is pleasant at times and seeing the brown parks and the leaves shedding their leaves in August was sobering as presumably this is likely to become more common every year.

Warm and muggy here, and raining!

It’s 14 oc and raining where I am in north east Scotland today. Loving it 😍.

Well it's down to 20 up here in the lakes. Storms last night have really cleared the air. Looking like a showery but warm day, so we can still get outside. More storms forecast for 4pm ish.

Raining and dull here😀 It’s still forecast to be 26 today though, but I’ll take that over the 34 we had yesterday!
I do like the heat, but this is too much. I looking forward to September.,

ATM though I'd feel like going out in any rain just for the sensation of cooling down

we had a brief ten minute shower a couple of weeks ago and dd raced out in the garden in just her knickers

she’s looking forward to a repeat at some point over the next few days!

Where are you all based, who have had rain? It’s still muggy as hell here in West Yorks, cloudy with sunny spells. I want the thunder and the rain!

@Cornettoninja 🤣🤣
I've thought about doing this when the rain comes. But probably with a few more clothes on.

We had a light shower earlier - I walked DD to holiday club in my summer dress and loved the rain on me, it was so refreshing!!

it’s just cloudy now but expecting rain later.

Last night was the absolute worst, horrific and didn't cool down at all in my bedroom in Cheshire.

However, the sky here just now is very dark and there is a tiny breeze, there is hope!

@PeloAddict Thank you! I've never heard of Xolair before! Rhanks for the tip. I'm miserable and really anxious about it which isn't helping.

I've been referred to immunology clinic, but they say they may not take me on. They have a huge waiting list, so at least now I have something I can suggest. Currently I've had a month trial of steroids and am on the strongest strength of fexofenadine 4 times daily and it's done nothing. Doctor suggested a medicine called a monteclaust (?) I'm not spelling it right. Was bleakly hopeful that might help.

Currently I look like I had one too many lip fillers and botox injections and my legs and thighs are covered in hives.

Woke up to another bright burning sun and cloudless sky and am so not grateful for it. Worse, I have to go shopping😩

A sprinkle of rain here in Devon. It's muggy so hoping for more. Is it just me or is it rare to get a pleasant sunny spring/summer day at the moment? It's either muggy and overcast or intense, burning sun. I am sure a sunny day used to be a pleasant thing of gentle sunlight on my face.

@DysonSphere yeah montelukast it is, I have tried that before
There's a few options but I had used them all up so went onto Xolair (£££ to the NHS) and it's been a miracle

29C and very humid. Looks cooler towards rest of week but can see it slowly climbing again. Fml.

I'm in Harrogate and it's like that here. I have laundry on the line so hope it rains when I have brought it in and been out for lunch with my cousin, not before!

Looks like the promised rain/thunderstorm for today has been ‘cancelled’ (south east London) damn.
hopefully tomorrow. Please!

Us to @RosaMoline (east England) looks like I’m still going to be chucking a few buckets of water at the remaining survivors in the garden.

have to say though, the cloud cover has been a blessing, the ground isn’t searing hot and prolonging the heat it does capture.

I'm in my third trimester with a toddler who is constantly on the move. In East Anglia where the heat hasn't gone below 25 for well over a month (it's generally above 30). Barely ever a breeze. No shade in our garden.

Some people may be loving the weather, but I'm not. I feel sick, exhausted, lethargic, and constantly irritable. Our house and car have no air conditioning and we're over an hour from the sea. I'm trying to stay positive for DS, but if one more poster says to "enjoy it while it lasts" or "just relax in the shade", we may have a homicide on our hands.

People just do like different things to those saying how can you like the heat. I, and plenty of others, find it weird that people like short, dark autumn/winter days. That's why people suffer from seasonal affective disorder.

It's also such a change to have a run of nice days where you can plan summer activities rather than it likely to be rained.

So often autumn arrives and I think hang on, I'm still waiting for summer to start!

We rarely get ideal seasonal weather, be nice to have summer around 25 degrees, autumn with misty mornings and getting crisp chill rather than just warm and endless rain in November. How often do we get snow at Christmas despite what tv adverts show us?

Anyway, as I said earlier, not much we can do about it on a daily basis, some moaning at the moment, me, and others, moaning later in the year, and in the long, dull first months of the new year.

Wish it had been in the SE! Fancy swapping? 😁

Another hideous day. The humidity is appalling. I'm worried that even when it drops back to kind of normal temps that the humidity will make things feel just as hot as they are now.
I'm so fed up of being covered in sweat, feeling sick and exhausted and feeling like it will never end. Might sound OTT but I'm in London and as others have said, we have rarely had temperatures below 25C in what feels like months now. It's just unbearable.

In May and June, temperatures were definitely low in the SE - in relation to seasonal averages.

Also, I don't want to be smug and horrible but the weather is what it is, you cannot (in the short term) change it. So maybe it's better, rather than thinking over and over "it's unbearable" to plan some ways and means of coping and think of some more positive things about it. I don't personally like the winter, but I try to find ways to cope with the cold (which I really dislike) comfortably and look for positive things, like a crisp day with cold sunshine, which can be so pretty.

I love it, don't worry winters round the corner, I hate the cold.
