Absolutely dreading it. It was already too hot for me this weekend. Give me the weather of two weeks ago any day.
I’ve recently just bought a decent dehumidifier,mainly for damp issue,and it’s been amazing for heat in our sheltered housing bungalow, recommend it to anyone suffering rather than a fan that just blows hot air around
I think I’m the minority in the comments when I say I prefer this sort of weather. Came back from South Asia a couple of weeks ago where temps reached 40°/45°.
Remember to drink lots of water. Hydration is key.
I hate hot weather, but 28 degrees really needs a heat alert?
Fucking behave. Heat alert for mid 20’s. Why does every weather type result in some kind of guilt trip. It’s….. summer. And about fucking time.
I have a friend whose apartment runs about 8 degrees above ambient. This is going to be dire.
Everything is so dramatic. No normal headlines anymore.
I use to hate the warm weather, much preferred the cold, but as I’ve gotten older and have physical ailments I find the warm weather makes me feel somewhat normal and not all stiff and achy.
The only thing I hate about it is the bugs. If I had 3 wishes I’d use one to create a magical barrier in my home so I’d never see a bastard moth again.
Was beginning to think we’d never get any decent weather, happy days!
These are not Met Office alerts, they are health and safety alerts for those working in elderly care. The reporting seems to be conflating the two or not understanding it. The Met Office will issue general warnings for a wide part of the public. These are for people who work in an industry where heat is a real risk to patients in the 80s and 90s.
Annoying because the Met Office alerts are worth paying attention to when they hit amber. And if your going to be outdoors its worth a double check on conditions if they are yellow.
This is just a reasonably warm summers day.
Waiting for my lunch break so I can quickly go to the sea for a swim and cool off.
“UK weather”
It’s just England and a little bit of Scotland, calm down
