How are you enjoying the 'UK' heatwave?

Every time I open a news app the lead story is about the UK heatwave. As usual this is actually just an English heatwave. Down south it might be hot, hot, hot but up here it's not, not, not.

Currently 14C feels like 10C here in the Kingdom of Fife. It was pishing it down with rain when I got up. I have even popped the central heating on for an hour to take the chill off the house.

PS - lighthearted 😜

Isn’t 14 classed as a heatwave for Scotland?

🤣🤣

We've got the heating on at the moment and I sleep with my electric blanket on.

No heatwave in Argyll, although it's not raining for once.

AmyDuPlantier · 01/07/2025 20:37

Mine aren’t off yet so must be practically English 😂

I’m from Portsmouth. DS lives here with me.

He returned yesterday from a week in Edinburgh.

He was commenting about how it’s got so hot - I did point out it’s been like that all week and he was very far north from where we live!

LoopyGremlin · 01/07/2025 20:42

I’ve got my oodie on!

Sarah2891 · 01/07/2025 20:44

33c here. Very glad it's going to be cooler tomorrow.

gmgnts · 01/07/2025 20:49

I have also just popped the central heating on for an hour or so to warm up the bedroom. It's raining here now in SW Scotland and certainly not warm outside - about 15 degrees. Better than 35 degrees, though!

Rosesanddaffs · 01/07/2025 20:57

Too bloody hot, I’ve just sat in a bath of cold water and ice cubes. Hot weather is great but only when you have air con xx

GonnaeNoDaeThatJustGonnaeNo · 01/07/2025 21:05

Heating is on for an hour to take the chill off the house and sat with a hot water bottle on my feet.

Where are you @Gettingbysomehow

Somerset so not as hot as it could be.

JohnTheRevelator · 12/07/2025 23:34

Enjoying it? FFS. I can't wait for it to be over. I had the worst night ever last night. Despite having my tower fan blasting on me all night,I felt like I was being boiled. It was 32 degrees in my bedroom,at 3 am. Sleep in a cool room,say the experts. You'll sleep much better. If only. I don't hate warm weather,but I DO hate boiling hot weather. Anything over 25 degrees is too much for me. And it's not helped by the media keep banging on about how we're all enjoying it. Some presenter on the radio last night said 'Yeah, OK,it's been quite warm over the last few days'. Quite warm? I nearly threw my radio across the room.

Where's that laugh emoji🤣

Don't bother it's not much better here. I am struggling to cope. Heat here is too much 😖

33 in the Highlands yesterday. So sweaty overnight. I don't mind it too much as means we can swim in the lochs for a cool down!

Struggled in the week of 30 degrees that we had in 2018 as was in the city with no water to swim in.

Liverpool2025 · 13/07/2025 08:57

*weeks of 30 degrees

Locallassie · 14/07/2025 18:58

Spent four days in Aberdeen at a swim meet. The aircon was broken and I have no idea how a large number of people didn’t take unwell. The heat was incredible. Glad to be back home where it was slightly cooler!

ChocoChocoLatte · 21/07/2025 20:14

@Liverpool2025am just back from a week in the highlands - nothing like getting soaking in pouring rain to cool down your sunburn from the day before ……..
