AIBU to find the cooler weather surprisingly cold after the heatwave?

Climate change and recurring heatwaves terrify me so I hate to admit this but the recent drop to the high twenties feels unbelievably cold. The overnight temperatures are positively wintry. Tell me I am not the only one!

I'm in East Sussex,it was 27c last night in our bungalow,we treated ourselves to a proper Portable air conditioner unit about 6 years ago. My DD lives fairly close by in an old stone cottage,I thought would be cool. She said it was in the 30s in their bedrooms,so they've been sleeping downstairs. In winter, the maximum we have our central heating on is 18. Forecast at the beginning of the week said storms and rain today, but that's changed.

I guess I live in an area which has not had excessively high temperatures as I still feel hot now! I think it’s only dropped a few degrees and I’m still sleeping without covers with my fan on intermittently through the night. I did put my sheet over me at 6 am as my legs felt cold though.

I’ve recently had two total knee replacements, one last December and one in May, so have found even the heat here very difficult to cope with. My knees keep swelling up which exacerbates the pain and I feel that my progress is going backwards! I long for it to get a bit cooler, like 20 to 22° rather than the 25° we are promised for several days.

Luckily we’ve also had plenty of rain here this year ( NW region) so no hosepipe ban as I struggle enough to water my patio pots with a hosepipe, the bushes would be dead if I could only use a watering can!

Was down to London at weekend and was struggling very much with the heat. But past 2 nights back in scotland, while its still about 20 degrees during day, I have felt colder at night than I do in winter. So yeah YANBU
