People trying to carry on the drama after a heatwave

[Summerbreezeplease]

I know this is probably a stupid thing to get annoyed about but aibu to think it’s ridiculous when people keep trying to carry on after the heatwave is over.

Over the past few weeks we’ve had two mega heatwaves here, well over 30 degrees. I really struggle with the heat myself. I can happily sleep with the bedroom window open all year round and never have more than a 9 tog duvet on as I run hot.

But even when temperatures have dropped to a perfectly reasonable Summer temperature.(it’s 19 degrees here), some of my friends are still complaining how hot it is and that they can’t cope.

Dh is refusing to put the 4 tog duvet back on the bed as we will be too hot apparently and has not only the windows but the front door wide is open.

People are asking if the schools will be back open.

It’s forecast to be 25 degrees tomorrow even during the hottest part of the day.

My friend got annoyed with me when I said it had cooled down, she said it hasn’t. Surely there’s an enormous difference between 34 degrees and 25 degrees?

Aibu to think some people are just trying to carry on the drama?

Easy to say if you don't have any medical issues that affect your ability to deal with extreme heat.

It’s not installed, it’s a portable one, but yes. I think the room itself is probably slightly cooler than that while it’s on but the thermostat just in the corridor doesn’t change. Standing right in front helps. But impossible at night because I can’t leave windows open on ground floor (small open plan new build flat). And very noisy. The building itself heats up so much and radiates heat back into the room, and its dual aspect South and east with lots of glass and insulated walls. There is lots in the media and how hard it is to cool this type of flat down, and it’s not a joke. It’s really lasts for weeks after the heat wave seems over outside.

I’m with you.

i hate the humid heat here. Anything over 28-30 and I feel unwell and get hard to shift migraines. I also hate when people say ‘oh you’d complain if it was cold’. No I wouldn’t.

however, it is very different now. Nothing like the past couple of weeks. Plus there’s been more of a breeze where I am. It’s much better.

Sadly growing balls won’t help my migraines.

You'd better tell our Public Health specialists because they disagree with you...that you can dismiss the elderly and already sick (as expendable) says a lot

"The more I repeat myself, the right-er I am!" in action.

Ok. So you don't understand what the fuss is about, but I understand what my fuss is about.So why does it bother you?
