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!).

So make the next 10/15/20/30 fabulous and disgraceful!

38 weeks pregnant you get a total pass for hating it

Usually adore it. But I’m 40 weeks pregnant. The thought of the post natal ward in this or the drama over how to dress a newborn at night is giving me all sorts of anxiety

The only thing I’m worried about out is that it will break before we are having a huge party in 2.5 weeks. We always have a do around the 5th of July and it’s almost always pissing with rain.

It’s absolutely gorgeous outside right now - a perfect temperature, warm but not hot. We’ve just had a sundowner sitting in the garden and it was bliss. I wish all our summers were long and hot and lasted longer than 2 weeks.

God no! Can be like this until October for me (with a bit of rain obviously so we don't dry up and blow away)

Love it!

Can spend so much more time outdoors. Don't have to wear layers of clothes and the clothes you do wear are so much lighter.

Can eat lighter meals and salad grown in the UK. Try to grow a bit myself (with variable results!)
Can go swimming in the sea and dry off naturally after in the sun.
I really feel the cold through autumn, winter and chilly spring days and my mood is lower, so summer is my happy place.

Love it.
I am peri menopausal and have been for a couple of years now so in readiness for the flashes of heat I have ceiling fans in the lounge and bedrooms,bedroom blinds salt at shut on the south side and open on the north during the day then I swap it around in the evening.

I leave the lounge windows open in the evening and the back door and it creates some air flow.
I have a really lightweight kaftan that I chuck on after a cool shower when I get in from work

I sit in the garden some evenings with a book which is lovely

i try to eat outside most days when I’m not working late

my work clothes are really think loose midi length dresses from h and m and a pair of crocs on my feet.

my workplace gets hot so I have a sail outside the door up high to keep shaded and I do have a really good fan in there for when it’s stifling.
I leave the windows open all night so it’s fresher first thing.

oh I also bought some hand fans on a recent holiday and they’re marvellous.

drink plenty of cold cold water and I love not wearing much make up because of the summer glow,just a slick of mascara and some highlighter it’s great.

We are in the darker colder months for such a long time you’ve got to make the most of the vitamin d while you can

All the heavily pregnants get a pass clearly
It was a hot august I was heavily pregnant and spent about 16 hours a day crunching ice cubes.....H said it was like being married to a horse!

Ice cubes and swigging gaviscon

Let me know where you live I'll be right over! I love all the positively in your post.

Brits moaning about the weather whether it's baking hot to snow, there is no pleasing some people!

Everyone else, stop moaning and look at all the colours around with the flowers and the nature/wildlife.
Make the most of it whilst we can as in 2 weeks be back to pissing down with rain and the constant posts of 'when will it ever stop raining'

Hate heat, I officially have summer SAD. Heat & bright sun gives me asthma and persistent headaches. We live in the north west, but our garden is a suntrap and we struggle to keep the dogs comfortable. Neither of us can stand the stinky burnt plastic smell of barbecues or the sound of bouncing footballs.
We love the quiet and stillness of autumn & winter.

I hate hate hate it so much
wish it would do one

always remember that babies born in much warmer countries, and without air con everywhere, do just fine.

I mean South of France or Italy, Spain.. just like the UK but warmer. Read their advice if you worry, but the mums there are not!

Every time I get to the point where I might start complaining about the weather we are currently enjoying, I remember how bloody cold, dark, grey and never-ending winter was, and I remember to count my blessings.

So no, I'm going to enjoy every moment of it.

Absolutely love it. Makes me feel so much better when its hot. Love waking up to a bright sunshine filled day with heat. It improves my mood massively. Id be happy if it was 26 degrees from Feb to November every year

I’m sitting in my rusty old swinging egg chair down the end of my garden, in the shade, watching the robin family going in and out of their nest. Bliss.

Enjoying it for now, but I'm not in a city, I'm rural. I dislike the cold as it makes my bones and joints ache so this is a lovely respite. As long as the temperature doesn't get too much higher that is!

Perfect in NE Scotland today. We’ve had warm sunshine, some rain and now it’s cool enough for a blanket to while we watch tv. I think highs of 25c on Friday. Suits me fine.

Please do!! I love the heat so am very jealous of you guys down south. Although Friday and Saturday are looking very positive before back to rain the following week.

YANBU I hate it. The only think keeping me going is that the days start getting shorter from Saturday - just few heatwaves to get through and it'll be autumn before we know it!

I totally get that, in the same way being cold makes me miserable and I can5 warm up whatever I do, some people hate being hot and can’t cool down. I empathise.
However it’s been literally days and it’s unlikely to be more than a couple of weeks. We have cold for a good 9 months. Can’t you accept that you have the advantage in terms of hating the weather here?

The only positives I can think of about hot weather is not having to spend a fortune on gas for heating,not taking ages to get dressed and undressed with so many layers that I wear in hot weather (I'm disabled plus I have a frozen shoulder so dressing and undressing is always a bit of a chore for me) and laundry drying in next to no time. I do feel sorry for my poor cat though. Imagine wearing a fur coat in this heat and not being able to take it off! I'm sure she thinks it's me that's making it so hot just to piss her off!

Move to Greece :-)

Will do!

Agree. I m not a fan of freezing cold weather,but as long as it's between 12 and 22 degrees,I'm happy. As you say,it's easier to warm up than to cool down.

Grey and a bit chilly in Northumberland today.
