Heatwave next week

[WilliamLilliam]

Warm weather coming our way

A novelty!

"It isn't actually that hot" has no meaning though as it's so subjective.

I find weathers around 18c and up really unpleasant - most would love up to low 30s. So I feel rubbish most years though spring, summer and early autumn while others don't notice it that much. I also don't feel like it gets properly cold with lots of snow anymore.

Probably whichever weather you hate there's too much of it though!

"I imagine 25 degrees feels a hell of a lot fresher in South Yorkshire than muggy London, tbf.
It’s the humidity that’s the real killer."

Yes, I agree. I don't use public transport to commute to work, and my office has aircon (which is always too cold) so I don't get to suffer the heat that commuting Londoners who work in places that don't have aircon do.

Exactly Delatron. We have had a very long winter this year. We had 3 foot snow drifts in March and sub zero temperatures that went on for ages. We didn't even have a nice autumn. We went straight from a cool summer to winter.

God I need to move

You would love it here Mogleflop. It is cold and damp for most of the year, with very low light levels in winter.

We have enjoyed a gorgeous May this year, and June is turning out to not be too shabby either, but this is unusual.

That sounds blissful. I actually really think that needs to be my life plan. I could switch with someone who hates rain!

I don't hate rain. I am a gardener, but damp, gloomy weather for months and months on end is utterly soul destroying - for me.

I don't hate rain either, Lonicera, but agree it gets a bit wearing sometimes (& I'm in Lancs, which I suspect might be even damper & gloomier than S Yorks...!)

Our winter went on and on and on this year & then suddenly ended at the beginning of May - it was glorious, & nice weather in May is probably the best of the lot, because it never gets unbearably hot, & there are almost no bugs. And my flowers are very very happy - some sun makes such a difference. So we're already feeling we've had the best summer for years

I'll be staying with a friend in London the first week of July. I may be about to find out how unlovely really hot weather is away from here

So true, it's lovely to have a nice May and June for a change. I'll feel less short changed if it goes downhill from July!

Next week in Surrey 28, 29, 31, 30, 31... Not only do I hate the poxy heat but I get to stand in a playground with no shade from midday onwards... Yay. And I burn really badly no matter what cream I use. Double yay.

Starting on Sunday our forecast is: 22, 24, 24, 24, 22, 22, 23.
Perfect

Just a word of warning that those automated temperature forecasts can be pretty wrong.

My water butts are empty already and it’s not even heatwave territory yet. We have air con at home so I’m not afraid of scorching heat, bring it on 😎

I'm south east costal, no higher than 23 for me boo

Ours is 28-30 for a full week!

Do you mean it might not happen kitten?

I imagine 25 degrees feels a hell of a lot fresher in South Yorkshire than muggy London, tbf.
It’s the humidity that’s the real killer. Absolutely. I live in Bristol. Yesterday wasn't as warm temperature wise as it has been. But the humidity! So close it was touching . That coupled with some hot flushes - I was literally mopping myself down. Today is about the same temp but a much fresher breeze. According to my car doodad it's 19 degrees right now.

My shitty weather app told me it would be 24 degrees today, a degree higher than yesterday. As I must have lost my own body weight in sweat yesterday after rushing around at lunch time I decided to wear a super summery outfit today and froze for the entire day

Thick socks vest and trousers for me now until I’m absolutely certain the heat wave has arrived.

I struggle to be comfortable in the heat as I'm a fattybombatty but I try to not complain because it is generally short lived and I do like it, i love proper seasons iykwim
