To want this heatwave over with

[Hesxboon]

Is anyone else suffering a cold in this heatwave?

im really struggling with how hot it is. Got a cold ( which I find weird as I’ve never had a cold in the summer months) I just want this heatwave to be over and done with

No, I love it! I am so much happier in the sunshine. Makes me want to move to somewhere permanently hot.

Yep I’m done now! I’ve managed to cope really well the last 4 days which I’m pleased with as I usually don’t in hot weather but today feels hotter and stickier than any so far 😭

I like heat when I'm by a pool or the sea with a cocktail and a book ... not so keen working from home and it's 30 degrees indoors 🙄

It’s 37 here, I’ve got food poisoning, a torrential period and a very emotional 3 year old.

I like being outside on a nice sunny day, but we really need aircon a everywhere if it is going to be this hot.

From your lips to Mother Nature’s ears.

No idea how the cold virus DS picked up survived the UV rays.

Just seen a report that it’s going to worse this side of the alps until Monday. Then the epicentre of the Too Fucking Hot is going to move to the low countries and Germany

We’ve be promised a big drop in temps, possibly even below 30 for July.

I feel it only fair that if we had July Heat in June we should get May Heat in July.

August I’m expecting storms. Just a gut feeling. Lots of storms and this time I won’t go out on the road to investigate a strange noise that turned out to be a (very very rare) tornado followed by what can only be described as a hurricane. Being sandblasted by the surface of our rough gravel track turned out to be my least favourite form of exfoliating. But I’d rather a small tornado (from inside the house this time) than this inescapable heat.🥵

Not yet no. I’ve been at work all week so havnt been able to enjoy much time in the lovely warm, weather! Can I at least have the weekend?!

I don't mind the hot days. But the nights are tough. I can't get temperature upstairs below 28 despite all the usual curtain closing,closing windows during hotter parts day and opening at night, we haven't had oven on all week

I hate it. It’s making my IBS go crazy and I can’t even use my normal trusty hot water bottle to ease the cramps.

And my poor mum has advanced Alzheimer’s and has been really struggling the last few days so I’m very worried for her.

The sooner it’s cooler the better.

And my poor dog is struggling too.

That sounds awful, I hope you feel better soon 💐💐💐

I hate it so much. Bring back winter, lovely crisp air and winter sunshine. Big coats and boots, lovely!

I was done before it started.
I'm not even really suffering, but my world has become soooo small, limited to 3 streets and a park, and to 4 hours, between 6 and 8am and 9 and 11pm.
Almost no social contact, no one in my whatsapp group suggests drinks or bbq or picnic like any normal summer. My cognitive abilities are the ones of a pre-schooler, even watching the latest shitty Harlan Coben series requires brain-cells I simply don't have access to at the moment.

And I consider myself lucky, I still sleep relatively well, I still have some semblance of social interactions with other dog owners, and I WFH this week, so at least I don't have to endure public transport, (because even for 8h of blissful AC in the office, I am not staying 10mins in the Northern Line thank you very much).

I want to go out, take my time in the morning without rushing to take the poor dog to the park before it's too hot, I want to meet friends, I want to ENJOY food, I want to bake a cake way too big for me alone and go round the neighbourhood to give some to my friends and neighbours, fuck it I even want to go to the dentist next week.

I am DEFINITELY buying a portable AC unit this autumn, if I have to be cooped up at home, it has to be a sanctuary.

It's awful here (Oxford). I can't wait for the mercury to drop. I can't get anything bloody done.

I’m a heat enthusiast and hate winter as I’m cold the whole time. I find it easier t9 regulate my temp down than up. However the humidity at present is making me uncomfortable and sapping my energy. I’d li’e the humidity to do one, and perhaps the temps to drop to a seasonal norm, but I’d prefer what we have now to the cold.

Yes! Absolute torture having to work 9 hours a day in this heat!

Can't bear it much longer. I only have one dress suitable for hot weather and I spilled a whole lot of coconut oil down it last night. And I've got painful heat rash.

We can only open the windows for half the day due to letting the budgie out, we have 3 rooms with no opening windows and 4 more with only small ones able to be opened. Roll on autumn.

I much prefer it hot than cold, but I was saying to DP that if we were on holiday it would be fine. Air con, pool, sea etc. but no, it’s hot, sweaty, humid, and I’m not coping very well in the heat. I’ve never been this bad in this sort of temperature.

I'm a serial temperature complainer (but completely self aware, so, bonus?)

I can't cope in this heat. I also can't cope in the cold.

If it could just hurry up and get to 18-22° mostly sunny with clouds with a prevailing south westerly breeze that would be great thanks.

I've got a whole house worth of stuff in my bedroom I need to sort out but can't because of the heat fatigue, and I've got stuff to do that I keep putting off from winter when the cold made all of my joints ache.

It’s unbearable. I am basically restricted to one room of my house for the majority of the day as everywhere else is too hot. Have barely been outside in days, and feel constantly lethargic and fuzzy-headed. I usually go running 2-3 times a week but that’s gone down the pan as it’s too hot. Can’t sleep properly due to the heat and wake up feeling just as knackered as when I went to bed.

I genuinely struggle to understand how anyone can enjoy this weather. 25 degrees, yes; 38 and extreme humidity - what on earth is enjoyable about it?

I don't have an issue with the heat (love it), it's the humidity that can do one. It's exhausting.

It’s all over on the coast in Dorset, well my bit any way, back to a chilly 24 degrees

21 is about my ideal temp, 24 if by the coast. Hate this heat.

Moving house today, the moving guys have been bloody heroic in this heat!

No good if you have to work in it.
