Meteorology moaning - aka the weather, let’s moan about the heat 🥵🔥☀️🔥

This is a god send today, feels so much nicer. I'm in the South East, think we have the lower temps for early next week.

 

[whoops!]

There's actually a cool breeze this morning

It’s utterly delightful in South Yorkshire. It’s cloudy and cool stopped all my bedding off and BOILING it clean of sweat in the washer as we speak

An inch of rain just fell in minutes

Yesterday however it got so warm I started sweating just by sitting at the sewing machine near the window. Ahhhh British weather, changeable as always.

I saw them threaten a heatwave at the start of August but I really hope you are right.

It is mid August now for the next heatwave.

How hot is too hot for children to be in hot school classrooms with windows that barely open? It's 28 here today but feels so much hotter. There's absolutely no air either. Thinking of my children sat in a class of 30 probably sweating their tits off. How can they possibly concentrate? Youngest is 6.
Waiting for the email to say sports day is cancelled on Wednesday if this is set to continue, surely they can't expect them to do it in this heat?

I work in a school, it’s too hot now. The extreme heat combined with very tired children and staff is making for an unpleasant atmosphere. Modern British schools (as in those built after WW2) are not designed for extreme heat. They’ve got low ceilings, small carpeted classrooms and tiny double glazed windows that don’t open very wide. They made Covid bubbling hard as well.

The older Victorian schools are actually better designed for extremely warm summers as they have higher ceilings, bigger classrooms, tiled floors etc.

I can't remember a summer here in UK that hasnt been humid. I did manage to go for a walk about 8pm the other day when the temperature had dropped but it was still warm, that was nice, but the rest of the time I've been working from home in a muggy house with all the windows open.

I like the sunshine though, makes a change from the rainy month of May we just had. I just wish we could have sunshine without humidity.

Contemplating a 2nd bath already and I only had one 4 hours ago! this humidity makes me feel grim

That feeling when you have a shower, all nice and clean, then the act of getting dressed and drying hair makes your face sweat. Then try to put on moisturiser to soothe skin, then that sweats out minutes later.

It’s so hot and humid - I CAN’T SLEEP.

Everyone in England today:

 

[Renegadedancer]

Even with the air con on it was 34

 

[265]

Phew, finally cooling down but the house is like a bloody sauna, we don't have air con, we just open a window.

Storming here in the East Mids started at 4.30am, so loud it woke me up over the fan noise AND boyfriend’s snoring

It’s now started again, very loud.

Meanwhile in the North it's raining.

 

[DoctorWho]

This is absolutely ridiculous

Sat here starkers with the fan blasting & nothing is working

 

[37BBL]

Anybody else realising they need to lose 2 stone plus to survive this heat. WHY didn't I work on the lock down bod whilst I had the chance

Oh 100%. Genuinely thinking I wouldn't be as uncomfortable if I hadn't put weight on!

 

[Wee Nora]

I’m in NI. I spent all morning in a fleece, it’s pleasant enough here now but still not warm. Hope those of you in the extreme temperatures are coping ok

 

[AlanBanan]

It’s lovely out, I’m just trying to be positive even though my eyes are literally burning out of my head as they’re so itchy.

 

[Meangirl815]

This heat is disgusting

Can not be bothered to do anything today. I'm sunburnt I'm not sleeping I'm miserable as fuck.

Hurry up autumn

 

[emmer_moans]

The air is thick here but only 16 degrees at the moment and the max temperature has updated on the app to be around 22 and cloudy... Fingers crossed it stays that way.

 

[Tatooine_legend1]

No I absolutely love it. I go out in linen or cotton clothes and wear a large brimmed hat and I carry a water spray bottle incase I get too hot, which is not very often. I don't wear trainers or socks but nice Merrell open sandals and also have some "jockey" brand slip sorts to stop any thigh rub from sweating no matter what size you are, they are brilliant and very light weight. Sun protection is a must.
We have lived in Asia in the winter for years and in Spain in Summer so have experience of heat and always have always used fans instead of Air Conditioning.

Yeah I suppose you gotta get used to it, but I haven't lived abroad and find this weather is just a bit much.

Meanwhile in the North it's raining.

Where in the North? I'm packing my bags as we speak
