[Misc] Ooooh, isn't it lovely?

[Steve in Japan]

It's just coming. http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

Excellent, my lawn looks thirsty and my butt is empty (oooerrr)

Lashing down in Worthing. Wonderful.

I've got my country back.

Glad the rain arrived - I didn't water the plants on the patio last night.

You may laugh, but Amber warning means some people will die. No, I'm not being over dramatic, it happens.

Some people will die due to 27-30 degree weather?

Yep. A couple of people drowned over the weekend - the sea is still cold at this time of year.

So it's not the weathers fault, more general stupidity/wrecklessness.

I worked in the mountains last winter at -20 or so. If I decided to put myself in the oven to warm up and eventually fried, it's not the weathers fault.

People get heat stroke. Some who have high blood pressure are more likely to be ill, etc.

Yep, the Cold Water Shock Response. A particular risk for people without the mental conditioning associated with frequent sea swimming I think? Down from london, jump off the pier sort of thing.

When our flight got back to Brum Tuesday night,it just felt the same as being in the Canaries but with loads more pollen and pollution.Looking forward to going back again,but hopefully see some rain first!

 

[Rod Marsh]

Its a little on the warm side, but i am certainly not complaining about it

Might fire up the BBQ tonight, and sit in the garden with a cold beverage what with it being the longest day of the year and all that.

Where was my invite?

calm down buddy

People moaning about the heat can basically piss off. The weather in this country is generally dull, awful or dull and awful. Enjoy it while you can you miserable *******s.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Just thought I'd mention it as sleeping is proving difficult......IT'S TOO F###ing HOT.

I live in the UK, the temperature should reflect this.

 

[B-right-on]

Working outside directly in the sun is a ruddy killer in this heat.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

A special mention to some of London's buses which today saw fit to have the heating on.
Just what was needed.

You couldn't make this stuff up.

People are just like plants - Some are shade lovers, some require full sun, others can take a bit of both.

I'm in the shady part of the garden and get even grumpier than usual when subjected to full sun. About 16 degrees is my preferred ideal temperature.

I know. Extraordinary. Clearly beyond the wit of man to put a decent air con system in.

I actually just had to shell out for 5 air cons for our new house. Because we actually have REAL hot weather here.

Brits could just buy an electric fan for 20 quid and that'd be enough.

Or they could just piss and moan on internet message boards about it being mildly warm.

Thunder Storms here in Los Alcazares, lovely stuff!
