To think it is too bloody hot?

[orlamug]

Where I am it is also very humid with humidity close to that of Singapore. I had a shower, stepped out and am sweating and clammy again within moments. I tried to do some housework but I'm drenched in sweat and having to keep changing my t-shit, DH is the same. I can live with high humidity and even the heat but the heat and humidity has to go!

I love it! May it stay till the end of September!

I assume you still wear warm clothes and put the heating on? So it's the same, you adjust your behaviour accordingly. I don't enjoy hot weather exactly, I'm definitely not a sun worshipper. Yesterday I had the blinds drawn and sat in a north facing room all day to avoid it. But today it's 16 degrees here and absolutely pishing down so I'm not going to complain about getting a few nice days.

I don't have the heating on as much as most people I would say.

It has rained heavily here today and its cleared the humidity away to some extent so even though the temperature is much the same here it is much more bearable without the humidity. Hopefully the weather will turn quite a bit cooler with more rain for the rest of the week.

Yes I am in the UK but with direct sun and no breeze it was very hot out there.

Temperature readings are always taken in the shade, so it will have been 40 degrees in the sun.

Since this thread re-appeared in my following list, here's June in a picture of Brum last month ...

Average is 18, Max is 31, Min is 9 (all degrees C) which is around about 1.5C above what would be expected.

Whichever way you dice it, or pretend it a fucktonne of extra energy has been put into the air over Brum - maybe 2-3 terajoules more than normal.

All that energy has to go somewhere. And what the data (not politicians, just data) is telling us is that extra energy is now all over the planet. There isn't a location where there is a similar energy deficit for this extra energy to cancel out.

This is how climate change (which has been here before humans and will carry on long after we are dust) translates in to weather. And no amount of pratting about with solar panels and alternative hairstyles is ever going to change that.
