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

[watermelon sugar]

I don’t mind it but does anyone else get itchy eyes and a banger of a headache when they’re out in the sun or is that just me?

I do! I started using eye drops and hay-fever tablets and they help

Seems like it might be cooling where I am a bit now, it's clouding over and there's a nice breeze.

Well jel.

 

[ElektraWintour]

The thunder and lightning woke me up at 4:45, I can’t win definitely prefer this cooler weather, even if it is overcast.

What is the difference between face sunscreen and normal sunscreen? I thought it was all the same and can be used as so, no?

 

[Piff paff puff]

Woke up early hours very dehydrated. Banging head, fatigue, aches. My own fault not drinking enough
It was too hot to be out yesterday, although mornings are perfect.
Sincerely, a self confessed lover of hot weather

We had rain forecast fri-tue and now it's disappeared. Just a stupid bloody sun symbol now

I was sweating walking the dog at 7:30 this morning

Me too! I took mine out at 7am thinking it will be nice and cool. I was really sweating and had to come home and run a cold bath! It's gross! I definitely don't think it will cool down enough this eve to get my dog out again

It's 12c here in London this morning! I've opened all the windows to make the most of the crisp air.

 

[Cack Conroe]

I love the heat. When everyone else is wilting, I’m thriving. It’s the cold and wind I can’t stand.

It’s predicted mid 30s where I am Monday and Tuesday and can’t decide what to do about my kids and school. My son in year 7 says several of his friends aren’t going in but unsure if that’s a fact. He has to wear uniform, carry all his books plus 2 bottles of water and walk 2 miles each way. I walk my youngest to school ( 15 minutes each way, uphill) and I can’t cope over 25 degrees, I really struggle and get headache.
My eldest has asthma and he really struggles in heat thankfully he doesn’t work Mondays and Tuesdays

It was quite a hot day, so hot the Radiator Fan kicked in, five years with this
motorcycle and today was the first ever day the fan worked, or should say
"had to work".

 

[Tangent Tiger]

I absolutely cannot sleep without at least a little bit of the duvet covering me! I don’t want the monsters to get me

Well, quite

 

[PillowsofFluff]

Met Office forecast is considerably cooler (lol - 29c is not cool) compared to BBC. Hoping they are right

Bit concerned about sending my daughter to childminder on Tuesday. She has a tiny house so the kids usually play in the garden all day, and I'm a bit worried..

 

[hrh89]

It’s 17 here but very stuffy still. We need some rain quick!

 

[thegirlscout]

Is it cooler to sleep on top of the duvet?

 

[MyLittlePony25]

Does anyone find that they don’t feel hungry because of the heat but they they feel nauseous because they haven’t eaten much? Combined with hardly sleeping I feel like death very much warmed up.

completely! My cat is the same, bless him.

today I decided to get some fresh fruit and stick it in the fridge and I had it this afternoon. It cooled me down and wasn’t anything too heavy. I also have some popcorn I may munch on later if I feel I need to as it’s sweet and salty so I can get a bit of salt and sugar in there. We had a mega storm earlier and it’s a little cooler now, thankfully.

 

[BigMavis]

Im actually in tears.
I feel so unwell. I feel like people think I'm being over dramatic about the heat. I've had a headache for 2 days now aswell as nausea. The only way I can describe heat intolerance is like a permanent hot flush.

Do you have to work? Sounds awful

 

[Ashshakur93]

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

I’m in Manchester and got an iphone notification it started raining at 7.20. Left my house at 8am and there was no rain in sight

 

[hrh89]

I'm on the south coast too, 28 & absolutely no breeze where I am maybe being at the beach makes the difference.

oh damn really. That sucks. It was v hot today

 

[rainbowlemon]

I feel you. Have a cool bath. Honestly. It’s lush! I’m too self conscious to get in the paddling pool in the garden so the bath is the next best thing. Nice cool drink. iPad with some crap on. It’s heaven. I’m having one tomorrow after work. I’m so excited!

For my cat we got a bag, which is reusable and freezes in the freezer. We wrapped it in a cloth and put it under/ on her.

The day before we wet a kitchen towel and draped that over her for a bit. You could do either of the above with humans too. Maybe the second with a real small towel though.

My mother would do the same when she lived in a hot country.
