Its a totally different heat here though compared to the US or Aus. It feels much hotter at a lower temp because its not a dry heat.

To those of you attempting to belittle glorious Sussex's wonderful summer, try getting a life!
Yes those places are geographically hotter, big deal, and you chose to live there, but please, grow up.

Yeah this.

UK homes are designed to keep heat in. Walls are padded with insulation. People rarely have have AC, ceiling fans, pools etc. The heat wave warnings are for the elderly and the young.

I'm not ginger, but I still seem to be spending my entire working day stuck to the desk. 35C in our office yesterday.

It reached 119F here the other day (that's 48C, kids). No rails buckled (not that we have any railway lines); no-one was driving around with their windows down, and there were no norks on display at the beach.

Reading NSC can be so alienating at times.

been to Death valley yet?

I don't 'this' often but 'this'. It's a summer. We've had the jetstream on our ass for a while, its shifted.

I love how warm weather in the UK is classed as a "heatwave" and everywhere else it is called summer. This is what summer weather should be like. Much preferable to 16c and overcast.

I also choose to disagree with the earlier poster when they described houses with walls filled with insulation, designed to keep heat in. Very few houses these days - or any days for that matter - seem to have been constructed with cavity (wall) insulation. Fibreglass insulation in attics and walls helps maintain a consistent level of temperature year round so you don't bake too much in the heat or freeze too much in the winter. If more British homes were properly insulated, winters would be warmer and summers more comfortable. Alas this does not seem to be the case.

My only fear about this "heatwave" is that it continues til the summer holiday starts and the kids will start running around screaming enjoying themselves

somewhere in the middle of 16 and 30 would be preferable though

Five days of 80 degrees and it's a heatwave ffs.
Jesus Christ if this country ever experiences a proper heatwave I don't hold out much hope :-(

It has, in 1976.
Three months ( unbroken ) of weather like this...the whole of June...the whole of July....and the whole of August.
Now thats what I call a decent spell of weather.
