Hot weather.

[JohnTheRevelator]

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!).

Did you not choose to go into teaching? I could easily say “all the people saying it’s awful need to try a 9-5 where you can go to the beach after work”

I didn’t choose to teach in poorly ventilated ridiculously hot rooms. The state of classrooms after decades of underinvestment is the issue.

It’s brilliant! Summer clothes, beer gardens, not having to have the heating on, light mornings and light evenings, all the flowers in bloom. Honestly what’s not to like? I love it 🥰

You chose to teach knowing this sort of thing was an issue. I’m sorry but that’s not a reason for the rest of us to hate summer

Wow people are very defensive about what types of weather they like aren't they

How is that poor community support? When some elderly people think they need to go out wearing a coat, every single time, even when its hot.

Exactly there's so much doom and gloom in the world. We're currently having some lovely weather. The plants are loving it. I'm currently looking at some lovely vibrant geraniums, deep purple lavender, and some lovely smelling roses (they smell like sherbert).

I can hear the children in the school playground, laughing and shouting. The butterflies are trying their best not to get caught by the cat, and the birds are having fun teasing the cats.

Everyone also seems so much happier

According to the current forecast it’s going to be glorious again today. Warm, unbroken sunshine with zero percent chance of rain.

It’s just started raining.

Classic response to get out of how rubbish we are.

UK : It's so hot here, over 20C yesterday.

Aussie : It's hotter than that in our fridge.

UK : Ah yeah but we have HIGH HUMIDITY.

UK : It's -1C and snowing here, we are all going to die.

Canadian : It's been -20C here for the past 2 months and we are all fine.

UK : Ah yeah, but we have KILLER SLUSH.

I think they have underestimated how fast the weather will change. A bit strange really as high pressure is normally more predictable.

Let's hope the long range forecast out to next week end is correct as that looks really sunny.

I think it’s okay for people to enthuse about the changes experienced on a daily basis in the U.K. some countries I have lived in, it’s exactly the same every day and it is so boring. The gentle variation of British weather is interesting and adds a different dimension to life.
I have an umbrella, snow shovel, sun lotion and hat for all weathers in my car for example!

I have posted repeatedly that I do have empathy for them. It doesn’t work both ways though, does it? 2 days of not-that-intense heat and everyone on here is banging on about how horrible it is, despite having their preferred weather for the vast majority of the time. That’s my point. Thankfully I don’t see this in real life, just on here.

But people moan all winter that they’re cold. Us hot bloods have to put up with that, by your estimation that’s for longer.

My mother was in hospital this time last year, the wards were chilly if anything, windows wide open and I had to take some cardis in for her , was really pleasant visiting BUT the radiators were on in the vast corridors. Makes no sense whatsoever and they bang on about missing appts costing the NHS money, surely switching the heating off when it's 25 degrees would make a huge difference?

Sorry, but What seems to being missed (apologies if I've just not seen it elsewhere) is that, while hot weather can be inconvenient if you have a lot to do, those of us who are susceptible to cold don't just feel a bit chilly - we actually feel properly ill.
It works both ways. The cold makes me depressed (edging towards clinically - I’ve been there, I know the signs), makes my joints ache, gives me headaches…etc. it’s not just a bit uncomfortable.

So you must understand how people feel when they say the dislike the heat and have the same symptoms as you ?

Got that t shirt. I was a secondary teacher for 35 years. I know it’s uncomfortable in those rooms. I didn’t whinge on and pray for cold like some though. I got through it and enjoyed all the other hours of the day.

You get the weather you want for longer. The moaning about heat is annoying but not as annoying as cold weather - I’ll swap gladly and have 9 months of summer as well as the whingeing instead of 9 months of fucking horroble cold, dark and wet.

I was literally responding to that point. I’ve echoed the wording from the post. I’ve repeatedly said I have empathy for people who hate the heat. What I’m not getting from those people is the acceptance they are doing much better - they get a few weeks (or maybe 3 months if they are particularly affected by it) when they feel unwell. I (and many others) have 9 months of it.

I'm very sorry to hear that, but was it really necessary to be so unpleasant in your response, sarcastically mimicking me? I try to be polite in anything I post; it would be good if you could manage the same.

I wasn’t sarcastically mimicking you. I was pointing out that it is the same both ways but some of us have to put up with feeling ill for 9 months, not a few weeks. Heat haters always seem to think they are the only ones suffering and it’s great in winter because you can ‘just warm up’. No, not everyone can.

Crikey - all these people being 'properly ill' what the actual heck is wrong with you?

I'd be trying to find out

LOL

This weather is far from "hot".

Go to the Middle East where it tops 45C to 50C for months on end. People there dont complain.

Honestly - this country is full of weather whine bags. Complain its too hot, cold, wet, whatever...never fucking happy. Only feels hot because people arent used to it.

"Hot" my arse 🤣

Perimenopause is what is wrong with me, thank you

Christmas - wait till you get menopause then. It isn't fun but did get better after 3 years.
