Easy solution, up sticks and move to Scotland, Orkney, the Great Dun fell, The Hebrides or Shetland. Not much heat in those places at most times of the year! 

If only it was that simple ehh...

I've eaten my own body weight in ice cream over these past few days. If it doesn't cool down soon i will end up with an ice cream addiction and will need to be pushed around in a wheelbarrow  due to being 20 stone.

I know what you mean, I got addicted to gelato when I was in Italy... I blame my boyfriend he knew it's like a drug...

Still awake at twenty to 4 in the morning.  Yayy.  This night seems even more uncomfortable than last night.  Maybe I'll buy a tent and sleep in the garden next heatwave.

Can’t wait for it end to be honest. Feels worse than 4 weeks ago as, though not quite has hot, feels like it’s gone on longer. Really takes it out of you day after day. Thoroughly miserable for our cockapoo as well.

My mood has been getting worse day by day. Culminating in today where I was short with pretty much everybody. Thing is it wasn't just me, short tempers everywhere it seems. No idea how anyone can enjoy this weather unless they're sipping cold beer in a swimming pool. For anything remotely practical it's horrendous.

Patchy cloud cover making for a much warmer night tonight by locking the heat in. Probably will be the same Monday night too. The easterly breeze with clear skies had been getting nights mostly down to low/mid teens by dawn so far this heatwave.

[DeepSnow]

I cannot say how happy I am for it to be cool outside, cloudy and picking with rain. Feeling comfortable again now and should stay like it all week. Hopefully any further heatwaves will have less intensity to them and 'only' be in the hugh 20s making them more manageable!

Last night was by far the worst night's sleep this year, even worse than the last hot spell.

Upstairs stayed at 27'c all night, the fan was on full blast and I still ended up covered in sweat and only slept maybe 2 hours.

Now I have the joy of going into glasshouses again to work all day (I was there yesterday too, but only for 2 hours, but had to have a nap when I got home.....it's exhausting when it 47'c with 100% humidity  )

Heat haters would love it here.  18°C and pouring with rain!

Completely agree - it was horrendous!  Coupled with the fact I have a very painful shoulder and can't get it comfortable, I reckon I had about 2.5 hours sleep too.  It really wears you down!

Know exactly what you mean, i went into a decontamination room friday, 46c and water running down the walls from condensing steam.  It destroys you, especially when you come out and can't cool down.

Even using my mouse-finger is making me sweat!

Getting something of that here too, a couple of degrees warmer and the clouds seem to have no idea whether to drop the deluge or not but they're there blocking out the evil daystar.

It's coming home

It's coming

Weather's coming home...

The amount of comments I’ve seen people welcoming cooler weather and rain across various sites. This heat is useful for nobody apart from heat fanatics.

Lovely 06Z GFS run, 30C pretty much every day from next Monday in the south until the end of the run. 

S*d off!!

Aww, I'll have some of that!!

[Methuselah]

If there are three definitions of the adjective, cooler, cooler and 'cooler', then today is stretching them all to the very limit of meaningfulness!

[legion_quest]

This neverending summer genuinely wants to kill us all. 

Covid couldn't do it, so mother nature is just going to try and cook us.

Or at least bore us to death with the same pattern over and over. 

[Katrine Basso]

Today I have seen something I have seen for several weeks a cloudy sky.

To endure all this dreadful heat and not even get a storm is utterly galling

Well for my location Sunday is looking a write off, similar to 20th Feb this year

[markyo]

Almost feeling normal tonight, such a difference from the last several days, starting to feel like a functioning human being again! Just praying this is the last burst of this vile summer. One to remember for all the wrong reasons.

[mathematician]

Fingers crossed that this was the last hurrah of this terrible summer.

All living things need rain now. Badly 

[I remember Atlantic 252]

doubt that! virtual full agreement of heat from around 25th

[Stewart M]

It's actually raining here at the moment!  Only light spits and spots but it's so nice to feel some rain on my face for once.  I'll stay out in it as long as I can (or until it stops altogether!).

I’m over in Penn and we’ve had nothing here, unless I missed it of course.
