[Help] This wretched heat

[The Clamp]

It's hot tonight isn't it. Really stopping me from settling down. Is this weather due to break soon?

 

[spence]

Just enjoy it ffs. Soon be cold dark and miserable.

I wish the weather would break here as well, it won't stop proxy raining !
I got laid off a week or so ago and started doing the handyman thing again.
I managed to get a couple of weeks work secured, but have to work outside on these jobs and so far have only managed to get out theirs 2 days over the last week, it's doing my head in, 'king raining all the time.
Never thought this would be a problem here !

Yes, it's summertime it's meant to be hot.

I'm absolutely fed up with it. It's far too hot. Roll on the autumn.

Yes, it's summertime it's meant to be hot.

I should explain. Normally I love the heat, especially in daytime but I'm working nights and trying to sleep in the day is torturous and then at night at work it's just so damned hot I cannot settle down and can't run the aircon as it wakes people up.
So yes, on my days off I love the heat. Shorts on, strolling about and I live on the beach so I can just step outside and have a swim but it's murder working nights in it and trying to sleep in the day.

I will never complain over a summer like this.

I love how people struggle with the idea of disliking this heat.

I’m simply not made for it. I’m a naturally warm person so in heat like this I just feel like a ball of sweat all the time, which just isn’t pleasant. I also have to work outside in it, which is just horrible at times.

It’s fine if you can lay on a beach all day and read a book. But much more than that and it’s just not for me.

Infinitely preferable to The Beast From The East that we had just a couple of months back. Now THAT was wretched.

Best summer - first proper summer, even - since 2006.

After the grey rainy wash-outs, and 'Spring has gone straight into Autumn', summers of the last decade or so, I'm loving this.

As for it being too hot to sleep, simply buy a decent-sized fan for the bedroom - the gentle hum of the fan will also block out the sound of the local gulls (I was visiting Brighton last month - Jeez, those noisy ******s never stop screeching).

Temporary break-down due today and tomorrow, with temperatures back to normal, and a fresher feel, but then turning warm again for the rest of the month.

Let's enjoy it while it lasts - we'll be moaning about dark evenings, the bitter cold, and snow, in a few months' time.

I have to agree with the opening post... I am not built for it either..NB my last holiday was in Iceland . I know that all Winter I longed for sunshine, but you can have too much of a good thing...

A tower fan from Lidls set on timer in the bedroom, and sleep like a baby.

I love it.

Some of you lot should have been around in 1976. We had a three month heatwave ( June/July/Aug ) Barely a drop of rain for three months. Hosepipe bans everywhere. Playing cricket was unbearable. You came off the field dripping wet with sweat. Dust bowls everywhere. Google England v W Indies, final Test at the Oval. The outfield has no grass on it.
The weather broke at the end of August/beginning of Sep. Then it rained, almost continually for a month!

For the first time in living memory I haven't had hayfever this summer, I'm loving it.

 

[bluenitsuj]

Moan moan moan. Just enjoy it.

Now that was hot.Not like now.You can easily buy a fan nowadays anywhere to take the edge off.
Do you remember the ladybird plague

 

[RandyWanger]

We had a proper winter and now a proper summer. Love it and long may it continue.

 

[Questions]

Manual work outside in this weather is tough. But that’s not happening for two weeks as off to Italy.......... now that’ll be hot.

If only it was 'global cooling'.
