Took the dog down to the coast nice and early this morning, with my youngest (in the pic). Was beautiful even after the storms last night!

It’s Time To Go · Apr 22, 2018

Too goddamn hot. Went running in Richmond park before, dripping sweat all over the shop. Feel terrible sick now, probably cos I didn't drink enough water.

jiggle · Apr 22, 2018

Hope it stays warm for another 3 weeks

Suede · Apr 22, 2018

Was sweating in my house yesterday, It seems to be cooling down now, though.

not here, in Stevenage it's hotter than it was yesterday, I just mowed the front lawn and I'm sweating like a blind lesbian in a fish market

Got my wish lol
Maybe a little too warm?

Peek-a-boo! · Jul 23, 2018

I'm in London today, on a teachers training day (it is lunchtime at the moment), and I felt like I was being baked alive from the walk from Liverpool Street to the City University. There was absolutely no way I was getting onto the Tube in this awfully muggy heat...

It is going to be thirty-blooming-degrees nearly everywhere tomorrow and on Wednesday.

Good luck BritEra!

Ravensmash · Jul 23, 2018

I'm glad this thread popped up again.

Been bloody horrible with this heat recently.

Went on the tube on Saturday (when it was cooler!) and just found myself dripping with sweat.

Tube will not be used today under any circumstance.

Mr Delabee · Jul 23, 2018

The Met Office has issued an amber heatwave warning for England. This will mean the rest of the world laughing and telling us 30 degrees is nothing, whilst they all walk about in shorts and t-shirts and go home to a fully air conditioned home.

PJV3 · Jul 23, 2018

It's hotter and cloudier, it's like being on Venus.

danowat · Jul 23, 2018

45 days since the last rain, my garden is like a desert.

skintBeastwood · Jul 23, 2018

My phone is telling me it is 28c in my area right now., feels much hotter though.
I just had to purchase another mini USB fan for my desktop. I'm finding having only one is not enough.

Mr. Bad Example · Jul 23, 2018

It's muggy as shit and the grass in my back garden is basically dead.

ReplacementPelican · Jul 23, 2018

29 where I am. Garden has gone a lovely shade of Savannah over the last few weeks.

Rassilon · Jul 23, 2018

The sky is a nice familiar overcast, however the humidity is dreadful.

Please send help.

Snack12367 · Jul 23, 2018

For the first time ever I'm looking forward to work. AC units are the mana of the gods...

bionic77 · Jul 23, 2018

Does the tube/subway in London have AC yet?

I remember being in London during a summer with some record heat wave and it was torture sitting on the tube for any extended length of time.

Didn't see any when I was out. It's way too hot, I'd be standing in Tescos just to get a small bit of relief.

Skeleton · Jul 23, 2018

after having so many crap summers this is a very welcome change.

I'm loving the heat.

No, the Northern line is hotter than the surface of the sun.

You should really use that Brexit money to get some air conditioning for the tubes.

I know it almost ever gets that hot in the UK but I felt like an older or younger person could have died on the train it was that hot and suffocating.

It's alright, there are loads of signs saying carry water, and if you feel ill tell someone at the next stop.

I'm loving it how warm it is, but it's too hot to sit out in lol

I gotta give it to English people.

They don't complain about the lack of AC. That was what I heard from everyone over there. Everyone said that ACs would be stupid in the UK and to just nut up for a couple of minutes while in the tube.

honest_ry · Jul 23, 2018

Not really Britain thats getting the sun. Its England.

We in Scotland had our heatwave 2 weeks ago.

(saying that its still pretty warm, no sun out though and still getting some rain)

CognitiveAtrophy · Jul 23, 2018

Hate the heat. Roll on winter, drizzle and all.

Sir Hound · Jul 23, 2018

It's probably the only thing I feel positive about in this fucking country.

Sponged · Jul 23, 2018

Can't wait for winter, as a plumber who's got to go in a loft in a minute for the next half hour or so it's absolutely killing me, adding to the fact it's totally distributing my sleeping pattern it's made this the worst summer for as long as I can remember.

dapperbandit · Jul 23, 2018

It's the bees knees, I love it. Get to wear shorts and Hawaiian shirts all week.

Went for a swim in the sea this weekend, it was actually delightful.

Red Liquorice · Jul 23, 2018

Why is this all not over yet, it's been weeks but feels like a lifetime.

My face is wet. I'm just sat still.

Goron2000 · Jul 23, 2018

As an overweight person I can't help but feel that Jesus has forsaken me.

It’s Time To Go · Jul 23, 2018

Badly. I feel cooked.

Deleted member 8197 · Jul 23, 2018

I was basically cooked for an hour on the tube on my way in to work - only to walk out into the sweet embrace of fresh air, like a hairdryer being wafted over my body.

RandomDazed · Jul 23, 2018

My overground train wasn't running today so i got on the central line.

What a mistake.

It felt like was going straight to hell.

I could feel the sweat dripping down my back.

Blegh. I'm ready for snow.

Brits, as a rule, hate fucking everything. Whinging is a national sport.

That being said I'm more than fine with the 10 months of gloom. It makes me feel better about frittering my life away playing video games.

Can't go outside when it's pissing it down after all.

Onebadlion · Jul 23, 2018

I bought one of those fancy Dyson fans. I couldn't take being hot any longer.

I wouldn't mind the heat so much if I didn't have to take a train home every night. Waterloo has been hell on Earth these last few weeks.

I curious what happens at level 4?, is it a boss level?

kaospilot · Jul 23, 2018

It's been nice the last few weeks, unbearable on a night though. Yesterday was really fucking humid and I was slightly hungover so it was the worst. Today is pretty humid too.

It's 27 degrees where I live (Essex). Landlord just dropped off a crate of 30 beers for me and my housemates. Gonna have a white trash BBQ in front of my house later. Good times.

27°C? We are averaging 43°C here in my city everyday (North México/South Texas). The temperature right now (8:00 a.m.) is 25°C!

27°C would be nice.

RAWRferal · Jul 23, 2018

To those asking for AC on the tube. It's basically impossible for the deep level tube (northern/central etc.) because there isn't enough clearance in the tunnel for the expelled heat to dissipate. Call it the price of being trailblazers, they made the tunnels just as big as they needed to be back in the day.

The next generation tube stock which is set to be universal amongst all deep-level tube lines will have 'air cooling' but they have made sure to not reference proper AC.

This is why the sub-surface lines such as the metropolitan now have air conditioning, their tunnels were made wider because of the earlier 'cut and cover' method used.

Hollywood Duo · Jul 23, 2018

32 degrees in London today? LMAO, still too cheap for those AC units lads?

Temascos · Jul 23, 2018

I want to destroy the sun. This is not normal and as soon as I learn how I'm going to unfuck the gulf stream so we can get some rain. We need the army and airforce to drop some water over this desert.

As you can tell I'm more used to the cold.

Conor419 · Jul 23, 2018

I woke up 2:30 am Saturday morning and had to sleep in the kitchen cos I couldn't take the heat.

I'm red-haired and pale, genuinely cannot cope.
