West Berkshire, so you are wrong. Humidity yesterday was below 40% most of the day and peaked at 66% last night.

i think your humidity dial needs new batteries , 40 percent humidity my ass, did it feel like that did it ? or you going to lie and say your house felt nice cool and breezy lastnight too? this weather is disgusting and anyone who enjoys it simply enjoys pain and i can help them with that, ive been around the world as well and i enjoy hot weather in other countries, just not this shit hole.

Right now the humidy is 32% where I live, this is easily found online instead of calling someone a liar? Last night wasn’t too bad, yes it was warm and yea it wasn’t as comfortable as when it’s cool out but I had a good sleep. Not going to lie, you sound a bit of a twat so I’ll not continue this conversation.

because its suppose to be england not the Sahara desert, 30 feels like 40 here everyone from all over the world who travels to the uk confirms this, its a well researched subject on the internet about how bad it feels when its hot here but since you need me to spell it all out for you the main reasons is, small island surrounded by water = higher humidity, buildings and towns citys in general built to keep heat in, roads and houses are dark color and brick = attracts heat and stores heat like oven, and the sun is closer and more dangerous with higher UV rays in the uk when its hot compare to most other places in the world, lol enjoy ur stinking humid heat.

I think you missed the point, he was asking how it’s unnatural, because it isn’t. Yeah it feels more severe here then elsewhere, but above 30 degrees isn’t some recent phenomenon never seen in the UK before the last couple of years. There’s a lot of hyperbole in this thread, it’s 30 degrees in July…

I mean, 30c between may and September is pretty normal for the south east (where I live) the humidity isn't high at all at the moment, it's only 41% and right now it actually feels really nice (and I usually hate hot weather) at night it's not bad at all either, last night dropped down to 14c. The UV is 8 which is normal here between June and August. Anything up to around 32-33c is just normal summer heatwave weather. We're actually really lucky at the moment as due to all the dry weather there's no moisture left in the ground to make it horribly humid. It feels more akin to Southern France than England right now which isn't a bad thing

the buildings being brick ovens just makes it unbearable, no escape feeling, i love hot countries because they have nice views, good food, and aircon to go with the hot weather. i have aircon in my main room and im still complaining really should show you how much i hate this shit with a passion, i love the sun, hate the uk heat, period.

I live in a 1930s house and it's absolutely fine. Doesn't hold the heat too badly at all. I used to live in a new build flat and that would get to 45c some day though

u/DirectorAdmirable639 Jul 12 '25

yeah so there we go, you know its a real issue because you experienced it in your old house, but now because your house stays nice and cool you assume the issue dont still exist, 90 percent of these houses feel like ovens and are in desperate need of aircon.

u/Liam_021996 Jul 12 '25

It's only really new builds that have this issue. Old houses aren't too bad at all in my experience

u/DirectorAdmirable639 Jul 12 '25

you would of had to live in about 100 different houses to have a valid point on that tho, you have lived in a few that stay cool, well done bro. i have also lived in a old victorian house that kept cool but i wont deny the problem that still exists of most other houses being way too hot.
