Everywhere I go in my area is just dead grass and dead bushes. I've never seen so much burnt dirt in my life.

Sleeping is a fucking nightmare, I haven't got money for one of those cheap ACs so my windows are all open but fuck man, It feels like death. How are you coping with it? It feels like it's never-ending.

Also, Americans just to get it out the way, I know there's temperatures that blow this out of the water for you guys, but we're just not used to this. Our country doesn't get the crazy heat you do.

not well. took today off work. good thing too, as it has indeed been the hottest day of the year.

thankfully there's supposed to be rain tonight that will supposedly break the overbearing heat and bring it down to just very hot.

I work nights and it's been absolutely impossible to sleep during the day, it's too fucking hot. I just want a rainy day where I can catch up some hours of sleep.

Not a Brit, but the wheather here in the Netherlands is pretty crazy as well. Thank God we have AC at work.

My car A/C is broken, so that's awesome.

Otherwise not too bad. Kids are suffering a bit, though. This winter will be when we get air con installed upstairs, I think.

My GF is doing her first night shift today and the company got all her sizes wrong for her uniform so everything is tight or extremely baggy. She works where there's aircon but I'm worried about her traveling back in this.

I used to wish for this heat years ago, now I'd rather have terrible summer's for the rest of my life than go through this every night.

I'm in the north west of England, rain came back a week ago and tonight it's expected to be thunderstorms.

People used to laugh at us because of the large amount of rain we get. Well who's laughing now?

Last night myself, my gf, and two or her housemates went for a walk to shadwell basin just so they could cool off in the water for 10 minutes before bed.

I literally just took a train back from London Bridge to my home, took a route that was 1 hour longer just so I could sit on a fully air conditioned train.

Halfway through the journey I was actually shivering. It was pure bliss.

Now I'm having cold showers every hour or so.

Its July. If you spend time outside in a temperate climate in the northern hemisphere, your pants are most likely moist. This isn't because you soiled yourself, its because its July and its fucking hot and humid and the ass sweat that collected while you were sitting down.

Love it. AC home, AC office, AC gym. Then leave work early every day for drinks in a beer garden or a rooftop terrace, to enjoy the sun and heat. Summer of the century.

Cheers!

I'm in the South West and don't get what all the fuss is about, yeah it's hot but not unbearable.

It's been beautiful, lots of sunny afternoons in pub gardens or supping cocktails by the river.

Stop complaining about it and just book some vacations in Portugal, the weather is actually not hot here, it is basically just mid 20s celsius which is funny so many countries having heat waves while our country which is usually pretty hot at this time of year is just fine, got to say really love these kind of heat waves, much better than the 40ºC ones we got last year.

The only things keeping me alive are my USB fan and ice cold bottles of water.

I can't wait for autumn/winter.

Slowly dying
We had a downpour on Monday evening but even then it was still pretty hot.
In my office at work it's been on average around 30 degrees since May with windows open and fans on.
To make things even worse there's been roadworks on my journey home from work the last two weeks adding around an extra 20mins to my journey which was already about an hour long. It also doesn't help that the aircon on the bus doesn't work 90% of the time.

It's just started raining now and it's still around 27 degrees in my room. I need some cool air! Scotland you used to be so windy :(

Edit* and that's it for the rain - 2 whole minutes worth​
