to think the heatwave may finally be over?

[mindymoo11]

I have suffered the last three days in the South East. It is 30 degrees where I am today. I'm suffering! And its been in the high twenties all week. I haven't slept with fans on.

However looking at the weather forecast, its dropping to a lovely 21 degrees next week. Is that the end of it?

But what’s the alternative?

it’s 28 here & showing as 28 again end of the week. I want to feel cold

Move to Yorkshire, it’s currently 15 😁

i do like Yorkshire!

No it isn't 'the coolest summer we'll have!'. Next summer will probably be cool and damp and then everyone will moan about that.

Well I'm bloody loving it. Long live global warming!

Early morning walks under a warm blue sky, lunch in the garden under the shade of the cherry tree, then evenings at the beach playing with the kids in the sea.

Feel sorry for the city folk though!

No they don't

Staying mid-high 20s until the end of the month here.

The future summed up in a sentence 🥵

long live global warming?

A man fainted in my apartment building in the heat recently. He was brought to hospital

This is unlikely to be true

We are in an El Niño year, super El Niño, this and next year but a La Niña will follow and that should be cooler, but not as cool as last La Niña.

Fluctuations, with an overall trend of upwards average temperatures.

Yes, delightful for you with what seems to be good housing with a garden, well located, and no requirement to work all day in overheated conditions. Difficult and potentially dangerous for many others.

August can go both ways. Sometimes it’s roasting and dry, other years wet and cooler. September tends to heat up again and we’ve also had random warm Octobers in recent years. We were chased by wasps on my DS’s bday one year at the end of October.

yes. my apartment building does not have adequate air conditioning.

My workplace does't have it either. Both buildings are awful.
If someone put a child in a hot car all day, everyone would realise how dangerous it is.
However they expect adults to sit in hot boxes of buildings all day.

I constantly feel sick from the heat and I am suffering heat related health effects. My body is swollen. I feel exhausted. ITs awful

Not everybody agrees.

Air Conditioner Is Bad for the Environment – But Is There a Choice?

Sympathies. I’m finally coping ok with the heat now, but that’s only because I finished term last week. Being a teacher was a nightmare for the last few weeks. Children suffering and learning nothing - it was a matter of survival.

And? Cancel summer because a man fainted? Weird.

Sucks to have made the choices that they've made I guess.

Not over here in Spain. It’s still 36 at half past six.
not fun

Do you understand that the planet is heating up at an alarming rate?

“Long live global warming” because you like going to the beach, really?

Are you suggesting that people who live in poor housing and work in poor working conditions have chosen this? It’s way more complex than that, unfortunately, and I’d suggest you do some reading. Unless I’ve misunderstood your tone/post - apologies if so.

just adding some first world problems. 3rd week in a row my calippos have been unavailable in my tesco delivery 😢

You sound utterly ghastly.

Nice of you to feel sorry for the city folk but apparently not give a fuck about your own kids, who are going to be the ones hugely impacted by global warming throughout their lives...
