A beautiful 20c here in Cornwall, not jealous at all of my London friends today.
People really do get a bit hysterical with this heat.
I mean, yes – it’s hot. A bit uncomfortable when doing stuff. But unless you are very elderly or have some specific medical issue, just get on with it. It’s literally a couple of days and we’ll be back to low 20s again.
If you’re involved in manual work I have sympathy, but most people here just have bullshit desk jobs anyway. Poor you – pop a fan on.
I guess the thermometer on my house is broken then, I live quite close to where that record was measured and it’s showing 40C.
Luckily I bought some portable aircon units, or I would be sweating away.
It’s not quite feeling as hot as three years ago, but getting there.
I’m in Greece currently and it’s not dropped below 30 in the day since I’ve been here (and it’s still really hot at night). I have however had a perfect night sleep each night and woke up cool and refreshed because they have window shutters and don’t have the same parsimonious attitude to AC that we have in the UK.
We really need to move away from seeing AC as some frivolous luxury as it’s actually brilliant and makes things so much more comfortable. Added bonus is it can heat in the winter too.
My phone says its 36c, and indoors with the curtains shut I’m reading 30.6c in my room.
Both my rooms (only have a small flat) are showing 29.9. Not ideal.
I’m British and live in Germany in the Nord Rhein Westfalia area and it was 38C today and supposed to be even hotter tomorrow 🥵
17C, cloudy and rain today here. The house was 26C when I got out of bed, didn’t take long to get it down to a comfortable level.
Whilst I’m not thrilled with this weather, I prefer it to the 35C the southeast is receiving. Especially so on a working day when I’m stuck in a tiny bedroom office.
What a day to have to clean all the ccg and find the new kitchen doesn’t have any natural ventilation and none of the electric vents aren’t turned on
36 degrees in my garage by 11am. I gave up measuring after that.
South East Water can reclaim my sweat to solve the water shortage.
Comfortable 18 degrees up here in Glasgow. Been pretty pleasant, I cease functioning above 20.
It was 27C in the NW and that was genuinely a really nice day, light breeze, cloudy intervals comfortable enough to be barefoot wearing shorts and T shirt with fans running in the house without being a sweaty mess, the garden looking lovely and then the temp dropped to 17C for a nice nights sleep. Not sure how the Londoners coped with the fires of hell yesterday, 30C+ during the day and 24C at night, yeah fork that.
Sounds chilly. Here in Surrey it felt like a furnance.
Remember the temps they record are in the shade. Most people experience the sun in / out of the shade and its a lot hotter.
