Hot weather.

Anyone else just want this hot weather to fuck right off? I've had enough of it already and apparently we're in for at least another 2 weeks of it. 🤬 I'm made out to be a killjoy when I say I'm not enjoying it. Does everyone else really love it,or are they just saying it for fear of being thought odd (like me!).

Mine too! Got another yesterday.

Honestly what a load of whingers. Just enjoy the sunshine and dry weather. We are in the gloom of rain and cold long enough.

Goingawayistricky · 18/06/2025 18:18

Got in from work yesterday at 5pm ( work outside). Put my shorts ,top, and pjs on a fast wash. Hung out. By 9pm all dry !

This beautiful morning, shower ,put on the yesterdays stuff in 2 minutes, smelling of summer. Trainers. Jump in car - total 10 minutes

Winter. Spend 10 minutes rooting round in the evening for a clean long sleeved top, a top, a jumper because they are still all
muddy in the basket or drying somewhere. In the dark cold morning have a hot shower, freeze getting out because the house hasn’t warmed up. Try to find extra tops because it’s minus 1 now. Put on thin socks for one pair of boots plus thick socks for the wellies. Find a scarf. Find matching gloves. Yesterdays stuff is still on radiators .Decide between the thick warm coat or the more waterproof coat with a hood because it might rain. Try and fit in the car - take half off because it’s too warm. Get blinded by lie sun. Get soaked putting coat back on once at work…

I LOVE SUMMER

RampantIvy · 18/06/2025 18:25

It's currently a breezy 22 degrees here.

greengreyblue · 18/06/2025 18:42

29 here! I enjoy the weather but don’t sit in it. Made a meal of cous cous( boiled kettle) with herbs and feta and marinated chicken thighs in the air fryer so as not to add any extra heat. Now I’m sitting in the shade. Will walk dog when it’s a bit cooler. Cool showers before bed and sleep with the fan on.

Hate anything about 25. So hard to concentrate at work.

Do you have a mixer tap? You can get a metal valve thing that just screws onto a tap, then you just add a shower head and hose.
The shower head can be fixed with a screw on suction clip if you can’t drill into the tiles.

No mixer tap unfortunately just two basic taps but thanks Flowers

I love the sunny weather, but at this time of year I get the most awful hay fever and it makes my sinuses hurt. And I've got an itchy heat rash on my forearms where they caught the sun today.

Apart from that, I really like it.

Summer is lovely but I really can’t cope very well when it gets into the high twenties. This weekend is set to be 30 plus which makes me feel ill.
my kids don’t like it either as they wear blazers to school and not allowed to remove them in the classroom.

the worst thing about summer is the lack of sleep as find the nights unbearable

Why do schools there have these ridiculous rules? Having to wear a blazer in hot weather is just madness.

It’s unbearable now, I’ve enjoyed the nice warm spring but this is too hot. It’s hotter inside my house than outside and that’s with aircon running. I hate this weather! Plus I can’t enjoy nice walks with DDog because it’s too hot for him too 😢

How can it possibly be hotter inside your house than outside with air con running?

Impastmysellbydate · 18/06/2025 22:21

I just spent the last 2 days at the tennis in Nottingham and the sun was unbearable - I resorted at one point to going and locking myself in a toilet cubicle for 15 minutes to cool down and enable me to cope with the heat. I look like a cooked lobster this evening.
And I'm going home tomorrow to a garden which will be desperately needing watering but I'll struggle to do it because the outside tap is currently out of action due to work being done on the house.

So I'm afraid I'm a Jonah who could see the hot weather far enough!

GinnyandGeorgia · 17/06/2025 21:03

we had a couple of hot days 😂

the definition of "heatwave" is a funny one with some people.
It's so damp generally, doesn't hurt the houses to get a chance to dry out a bit properly.

There are many places I wouldn't accept to live without air con. Not once has it been that hot in England I even considered installing air con units.

I am not an under-heater however, that might help

Not even on the day it was 41C?

You really can't laugh off heat like that and yes it's gaslighting to make people feel wrong for being uncomfortable and also for being quite concerned.

AmberTurtles · 18/06/2025 22:25

@Plump82

I'm not sure where you are but it's been really close where I am over the last few days. We could do with a big thunder storm 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁

Arraminta · 18/06/2025 22:32

I hate it. Going to a fancy wedding at the weekend and there'll be no air con. Dreading it.

wastingtimeonhere · 18/06/2025 22:35

I love it, its only spoilt by having to go to work!
My dog is less than impressed at no walk as soon as I get home, but she has company and access to the garden all day, she will survive!

It wasn't 41 degrees everywhere.

There are significant temperature differences around the UK, so I don't think posters are gaslighting because it simply hasn't been that hot where they are.

I spent today in Lincolnshire where it was about 5 degrees hotter than where I live in South Yorkshire.

dontforgetme · 18/06/2025 22:50

Absolutely fucking boiling in my neck of the woods. Over the weekend I will enjoy it, but during the working week with chores, school runs, homework, lunchboxes, kids clubs and all the other week day crap on top of a 9-5 is just unbearable. I’ve been a miserable git tonight and feel I may owe dp a slight apology tomorrow Grin

I wonder that too.
