Just seen a weather report where everyone is super excited about well above average temps.

Our local area water pressure has recently been turned down as a direct result of the drought.

Anyone else just so done with all this?

My kingdom for a cool night where I can sleep properly again!

It’s been FIVE MONTHS since I’ve been able to use a duvet.

What a load of melodrama. It isn’t that warm.

I’m still waiting for it to be warm enough to dispense with the duvet.

You house or flat?

Blimey, I have put my electric blanket on a couple of times last week, it was about 24 today so won't need it tonight

My bedroom hasn’t been below 19.5c since the middle of May. I long for a bedtime where I will need a blanket or even two!

what temperature is your bedroom that you’ve needed an electric blanket already? (Asking cos I’m nosy not judgy. I genuinely feel like my body’s climate control malfunctions. I’m always so warm!)

House. 300+ years old.

Definitely a medical issue rather than a weather issue if you are still under a sheet anywhere in the UK

How very dare ye 🤪

Oh god yes. The sun is nice, but I wish this f-ing heat would just f OFF!! I'm in Essex and last night I was woken up twice by mosquitos. In late September! It is actually humid right now. In fact, this afternoon, when the sun came out, it could have been mid July. I long to get under a duvet without feeling like my body is on fire. God how I yearn to wear a scarf and see my breath.

Exactly

I’m in western Scotland and right now I’d pay you for a beautiful, hot and sunny day. I think we’ve had, at most, 2 or 3 glorious days this summer. Seriously, it’s getting me down. Scottish winters are hard for me to cope with and the thought of another without even had a chance to sit outside in the sun is horrible.

Agreed..we are Ne Scotland it can be harsh
We are not into the minus freeze your bits off and the torvill &Dean pavements.

It's been lovely here in the South East. Cool enough at night to sleep well woth a duvet but pleasantly warm during the day.

LifeOnEnceladus · 22/09/2026 21:01

I hope there is some more warm weather before the El Niño deluge for months on end. It’s only low 20s though so still jumper weather unfortunately. I’ve had to get winter clothes out. 😡

Xxg · 22/09/2026 21:05

I had to use the duvet last night. I like sunny warm days

LlynTegid · 22/09/2026 21:07

The weather over the last couple of weeks has been ideal for me. Each to their own.

It’s been dismal and grey here in the NW for what feels like ages, well that’s when it’s not raining. I’d love to see some sun again!

It's been like living in SE Asia in the North West for months now. Today has been bloody boiling.

Jumper in low 20s hark that's positively tropical as today when Charlie visited Ne Scotland.

I don’t know what it’s like in SE Asia but yes it was insanely humid today! Yet I only saw the sun briefly this afternoon. We had thick grey fog for most of the morning, it’s bonkers.

Notmycircusnotmyotter · 22/09/2026 22:04

I don't understand where you live that you can't use a duvet. I'm in the SE, it's been mildly warm recently with cold mornings.

Portakalkedi · 22/09/2026 22:48

Northwest has been fairly cool for ages, even had a hot water bottle this week which was lovely, and two blankets instead of my usual one. Grey skies, rain, wind, lovely and back to normal.

Foolish1984 · 22/09/2026 22:54

We had frost last night and we’re not due our first one until November! Where on earth in the UK are you living if you’re still in a drought?! It rained for two weeks straight until the other day

What has been like this week, where you are? 20-22° here in north Yorks this week but frosts in the morning and we had two weeks of rain prior

I’d love a bit of warmth and sunshine - we haven’t seen either in Scotland.

so yes the cold, wet, windy, grey shit weather can get in the bin.

It’s been 20° here this week (Central Belt) - lovely weather!

TurquoiseGoldPeaches · 22/09/2026 23:26

It’s gorgeous here 🕶️🌞

Where in the NW are you? North Cumbria has been lovely for most of September.

TurquoiseGoldPeaches · 23/09/2026 12:39

Gorgeous out there today in our nation’s capital! 🕶️💛🌞

Near manchester, I think we have our own weather system. Today has been pelting down rain, grey, but very warm. Last week was freezing!

ImogenBrocklehurst · 23/09/2026 13:10

Maybe better weather is on its way, cos it’s seventeen degrees and blazing sunshine now, after heavy rain first thing.

MrsShawnHatosy · 23/09/2026 13:40

It’s 20 degrees here. Had to go into town. Had on a short sleeved rugby style top and jeans. No coat. Was bloody boiling. Really unreasonable for this time of year!
