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!).

24 isn’t hot. It’s a totally normal British summer temperature. All flats have window restrictors don't they?

That’s pretty warm. Are you doing all the things you can to keep the inside temperature down?

Are you on the fucking wind up They only open a couple of inches,

Like I said. All flats as far as I’m aware.
Doesn’t change the fact that 24 is within the normal average range. Not blistering.

Agree @cardibach it's farcical to suggest that 24 C is blisteringly hot. It's a pretty average summer temperature. Just because someone is in a poorly maintained, badly air conditioned upstairs flat, that doesn't mean the weather is super hot. 24 C is not very hot -just because it feels like 37 C in the flat!

How on earth is that poster going to cope when the temperature hits the high 30s? It's already hit 32-33 in parts of the UK this past week!

by having as many cool baths as i need

Well there you go, you'll be fine then. So why the complaints about the 'hot' weather, and how 'bad' 24 C is, when you can have a lovely cool bath when you need it?

YEP thats right as many baths as i need day AND night

Lovely. So no need to complain about the 'hot' weather then is there, when you can spend all day AND night having lots of lovely cool baths.

Yep in my lovely full size 1980s bath

Aww, sounds fab. So there is no need for you to complain about the heat anymore then, seeing as you have oooodles of lovely cool baths multiple times a day.

I hope you and your lovely full size 1980s bath are very happy together. 😃

Gone a bit quiet there @JenniferBooth Have you gone for a lovely cool bath in your amazing full size 1980s bath?

I'm off for a walk. Hope you enjoy your evening bath. 😄

Not yet Soon.

Well thats when im home and not staying at OMs

Yes, I keep curtains closed, windows shut till late evening, fans on. Our house is in one of the hottest areas of the Uk and faces west so we get later afternoon sun.

Has anyone bought and used cooling pillow pads?

Well my tongue was slightly in my cheek, and I live in a granite house that stays cool all the time - but 24 in the shade counts as blistering here 😎 it's not a common occurrence. 30 degrees! As if

Do you run a fresh bath every time?

Could you not just keep the water in and dip in more than once?

I have started doing that although its not my fault i was refused a shower install twice

The patronism positively DRIPS from this 😅

@JenniferBoothmost HA will let you put a shower in at your own expense if you complete a permissions form?

In your head maybe. The judgement drips from yours, because I wasn’t being patronising.

I have a question. Why are some people being extremely cunty towards the posters who struggle a lot in the heat? Sarcasm, condescension and thinly veiled mocking in a lot of the posts, especially the last couple of pages.

I can’t imagine going on to a thread in Winter where people are having a moan about how much they hate the freezing conditions and being like that towards them, in fact I’d be ashamed to do that.

Please just know that for those of us with certain medical conditions, on certain medications or trapped in properties that are designed to keep heat in as much as possible, the relentless heat is like hell on earth. It’s actually incredibly depressing for some of us and makes getting out of a bed a challenge.

Some compassion and empathy wouldn’t go amiss. Or if you don’t want to offer that, which you absolutely shouldn’t feel obliged to, then maybe refraining from the snide comments as it honestly almost feels like you’re trying to rub it in.

Believe me it does happen. When you are sat there in a house you can't afford to heat "Just put on another jumper" just doesn't cut it.

There is an awful lot of moral superiority from posters who find an indoor temperature of 13 degrees is plenty warm enough.

These posters don't get that when you WFH and are so cold that you can't operate a keyboard there must be something wrong with you.

@RampantIvy well thats a nasty way to behave as well then. Believe it or not some of us actually suffer in both hot AND cold conditions, I think it’s when either of them become extreme. I hate the cold too and cant function in it so I have a lot of empathy for anyone who hates winter. I’d never be able to live with myself if I went on to a winter version of this thread and made sarcastic goady comments to people.
