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!).

It didn't 'appear from nowhere in Mid May.' This sunny, dry spell has been around since the second half of February. (We have had a few short spells of rain, but they have been scarce.) The first week of May was the hottest start to May ever, and March, April, and May, was the warmest, driest Spring on record.

As has been said, whilst anything over 30-31 degrees C is a bit much - (especially with 70-80% or more humidity,) the lovely sunny dry weather is largely glorious. Contrary to what a poster said further back, I have experienced people being much happier, smilier, more pleasant, and more friendly, because they are loving the amazing summer so much. It really lifts people spirits.

What pisses me off is people who start grizzling and whining when the temperate hit 21-22 C, with all the 'it's tooooooooooo HOT!' posts all over the thread. That's not even that hot! They are the same ones who post 'it's toooooooo COLD! I'm freeeeeeeeezing!' as soon as the temperature goes below 15 degrees C in the Autumn, and start the tedious 'have you got your heating on yet?' threads!

I don’t feel that other people realize how much it affects my mood when it’s so hot. Same as people who can’t bear it too cold.
Even my hot weather friends moan a bit over a certain temperature!

I love travelling to Europe in October. Weather is usually lovely, not as busy and the prices are really good.

There's plenty of evidence and reports on it- https://weather.metoffice.gov.uk/climate-change/effects-of-climate-change#:~:text=Will%20the%20UK%27s%20climate%20change%3F

However if you want to continue to base fact on anecdotal memory, then I can certainly recall milder climates in my lifetime- spring and autumn would be sunny but cool, which appears to be less and less frequent nowadays.

@phoenixrosehere

still think your statement “everyone smells” is inaccurate

The weekend here in Cornwall was a real struggle for me as it was extremely hot but not in a pleasant way - very humid & dull. Today I feel much better as the sunshine is back. It’s very warm but feels fresher. As I posted on another thread, I definitely coped better in the heat pre - menopause. Once my arm is fully healed, I will be cooling off in the sea

Many people smell during hot weather especially on public transport. Is that better?

@phoenixrosehere

i would say a few! I don’t think most people have BO

You know many doesn’t mean most right?

I can't stand the heat. I sweat easily so I dread the summer. I also feel very ill and have a lack of energy when it gets hot. Autumn, Winter and the early parts of Spring are my favorite times of the year.

I love it and I’m not finding it as hot as expected today? I feel like parenting (toddlers) is easier in the sun. I look and feel healthier with a bit of a tan and I love wearing summer clothes! I think I was destined to live elsewhere 😂

Today in school was awful. Felt faint.

Despite hitting 30 for 3 whole days it's been cloudy in the morning and bright last thing or vice versa. Theres quite a difference in weather over the whole UK. It's really just nice, with a tiny bit of too hot.

In the UK most regular buildings don't have air con. There are usually shady cooler rooms and boiling stifling ones This is infinitely preferable to places where freezing air con is the norm. Lovely for about 5 mins and then annoyingly cold.

Also I get fed up with the hypocrisy of winter people. Their threads are all about cosy wood burners, electric blankets and blankets ie heat! No idea why being stupidly warm in winter us ok but not in June.

Yes it’s a warm night but I notice a lot of people are able to sleep on sun loungers or the beach in 30 degrees.

Enjoy the novelty. Fresh temperatures back by the end of the week.

LOL, good point about the 'winter people' being fine with being toasty hot in December, but not in June. 😆 Daft.

I hate those 'cosy winter' threads. Snuggles, blankets, hot chocolate, 'crisp' walks, cuddles on the sofa, warm jammies, big snuggly dressing gowns, cozy sweaters, baking cookies, cosy cosy cosy!

Bleugh! Give me SUMMER any day! 😎

Not this winter person The only outerwear i wore last winter was a thin denim jacket. No winter coat or hat or scarf. I would find being wrapped in a blanket suffocating. I just dont feel the cold but i also dont take the piss out of ppl who do.

Have spent 8 hours on a motorcycle trip today with a jacket,helmet,gloves and motorcycle trousers and it’s been 30 degrees and felt like a furnace.
i honestly didn’t think I could ever sweat as much as I did 🥵🥵🥵🥵

Forgive my reply here @lovemycbf but isn't that... a choice?

I mean, unless youre

• a blood bank courier
• Charley Boorman or Ewan McGregor
• An Uber Eats courier who really cares about safety

Then surely it is a choice?

Your not a killjoy at all.

I hate anything above 22C.

I dont like beach holidays either in places like Greece etc had to tolerate it three times because of soon to be exh.

I could never go somewhere like Australia it would kill me.

I have been to Cleveland Ohio in May 15 years ago it was fine it didnt get above 21C.

It is to me.

I could never go somewhere like Australia it would kill me.

Australia is not hot everywhere all of the time. Miserable, cold, wet, and even snowy weather is available if you pick your time and/or place.

Of course it’s a choice but still flaming hot 🥵 I despise hot weather

Errrm I'm pretty sure none of them are heating their houses to 30 degrees

No one can afford too!
