I woke up this morning in darlo to a surprise rain... Everything feels so nice and cool and clean... You can't beat this feeling. I'm going to miss it in the next few days.
Hang in there, we will go through it together.

Seriously not looking forward to Mon/Tues. Waiting on a H&S briefing from Royal Mail to see what’s happening. My shift don’t start until 11.30am and I spend from 13.30 until 19.00 in a van with no air con
Sounds really dangerous. If i were you I'd call in sick honestly

Expecting working conditions of 50c plus now with high humidity, could be a very short working day me thinks. A lot of clients will have to close, folk may not get urgent dental care.
I'm so sorry that you have to go through this

Well good news is Wednesday now looks to be on the cool side with nearly a 24C degree difference.
At work they haven't a clue. One bit of advise was open the windows. Noooooooooooooooooo only if the temperature outside is lower than inside.
It's crazy how many people don't grasp something so simple. If outside is say 35 degrees and inside, say, 26 why would you open the window and let hot air come in!?!

It's going be three long and difficult days unfortunately... I don't know about you all but I'm already sick and tired of this summer.
Looking forward to some rain and cooler days.

been up most of the night looking after my daughter, all symptoms of heat stroke there, thankfully wasn't sick in the end but had a bad tummy all the same. Did everything i could to cool her down and even so she felt a bit dizzy and i gave her a note to tell the school how she is in the heat and with instructions that if she feels bad to ask to come home. We are on the cusp of having a sotty letter home if shes off again so it's up to the school to send her home. Am a little worried tbh. School is now doing a risk assessment, as our letter also high lighted my concerns about next week, but expect 'keeping her home' won't be an option.
Had a better night last night as we had some cooling rain, so our bedroom with *only* 25c in the end. Hope you all slept better
That's really scary. I hope she's ok now!

I don't see the same angst on here during the winter.
Again, this time you missed the title of this thread. It's called the HEAT HATERS. What are you expecting here!?!

Nevertheless, we can all thermoregulate, I'm British born and bred, but was able to cope for 5 years in Spain and 15 years in Melbourne, my physiology didn't change, England's cricketers we able to spend all day in the field at 40+, it might not be comfortable but any healthy person should be OK, common sense needed of course. and cool showers, nothing better than a cool shower or 2, on a stinking hot day.
You are totally missing the point. Yes most people will survive, almost everyone will obviously. But it will be a few days of suffering and feeling uncomfortable. What's so nice about it?
Besides you are totally disregarding people who are not healthy, who have health conditions, who live in a small apartment with almost no windows... Some of those people will end up in hospitals or worse. Why are you so blase about them?

Spot on. I don't get it either.
Why would anyone in their right mind choose 35-40 degrees, where you feel hot, sticky, tired, sweaty and miserable...and you can't even go outside, over a pleaseant 25 degrees... where you can relax, sit in the garden, have a nice beer, work if you have to with no issues and generally feeling absolutely at ease and comfortable.
It's beyond me. I don't get it

As they say, be careful what you wish for……low 30s is plenty hot enough for most folks.
I know, for me the lower the Better .

Outside temp only just reached 20C, upstairs temp with window open and curtains closed...
That's exactly why I keep saying that temperatures even in the mid 30s here in the UK are much more dangerous that in the rest of Europe.
Our houses are built to trap the heat inside, they are like greenhouses! Instead of having a temperature inside a few degrees LOWER than outside, it gets actually HOTTER.
Very dangerous...

GFS 6z is a shocker of a run, widespread maxes of 40+. Unprecedented heat something you'd expect in the middle east, not the UK out of all places. Coast of northern France showing a max of 49C! Truly spectacular, a winter equivalent would probably be widespread lows of -25 and below.
I for one speaking for many people, would not want this to happen
Only people who are out of their minds would want this to happen.
We would be counting deaths if that happened

My god... It's clearly a figure of speech!

WWW.BBC.CO.UKAn oppressive heatwave has broken temperature records from the Arctic Circle to North Africa.
Thank god we are a Island, a haven from that crap.
Agreed. I always say that the UK has the best weather in the world when it comes to Summer and my friends who live in Europe never used to believe me.
Now I am pretty sure they have changed their minds.

The rest of Europe manage to cope, even Scandinavia, I do not see a problem. However it is a massive outlier, so 99.9% sure it will not come off.
Manage to cope how? There are massive problems everywhere in Europe because of this kind of heat.
Besides, most of our houses are not build to cope with temperatures that exceed 30 degrees. They are built to trap the heat inside, because it's usually cold here, and they become like greenhouses.

Not being able to sleep, getting constantly dehydrated, having to have a shower from your shower because you just sweated buckets in the shower, clothes constantly sticking to you, humidity headaches, air pollution becoming stagnant over cities, errmmm is there anything good about high heat and humidity........
Spot on! You should add the list an increased risk of wildfires and more electricity being used due to people constantly using air cons and fans...
Overall, a disaster. Especially for the environment

This winter is so bad that even the "moans" forum thread is dead.
People don't even moan anymore. They've just moved on

Well,I know there's still 5 weeks or so of proper winter but with what the model's are showing and no signs of a SSW I'm throwing in the towel on this mainly snowless winter.
Let's face it, it's over. What a vile winter
