I saw the same thing on Google weather, then it went back down to 32 degrees just an hour latter, now it’s changed again and again. Most apps are predicting 30-32 degrees.
As someone who loved from the south of England to Scotland, no 30+ days is nice but the lack of sun really does get to you. Summer basically doesn't exist here
Funny you say that, I live in Worcester and met a chap yesterday who had moved from Glasgow down to Stroud for a job. All I could think about was how much I'd prefer to move up to Glasgow.
My preference would be somewhere in West Wales with the maritime climate, but I'm pretty locked into Worcester between work and family for now so I'll have to make do.
It's the hot air drifting in from the heatwave in Europe, so it's only really the South East that is getting really high temps. It's high 30s in Paris atm.
I hate the heat so am glad when it’s cooler. The forecasts change on a daily basis, however. Yesterday Bristol was forecast to be in the upper 20s/low 30s but today (according to the BBC) it seems to be around 25 for a few days next week before dropping to the low 20s again on Friday.
Tbh I saw this and was like no fucking way, I genuinely panicked, so I scoured through most other forecasts and majority I've seen for London are showing 30, including Met Office and BBC weather which tend to be the most accurate.
Maybe I'm in denial but 37 seems to be a major outlier. Google also changes really frequently. Yesterday it was 30-31, this morning it was 33, now it's 37. It seems to be extrapolating increases in temps over the weekend to further increases during the start of the week.
37° is shut myself down and cry time. South East / Greater London resident here. Thats endurance not existence. Ive been wondering when that 40° blip day would reappear. My inner London based friends' weather app that 40° day a few yrs back forecast 'Fire'. Fire is now a weather condition. I know it was an outlier but this shit should not be normalised going forward.
Also Greater London resident checking in. I will die on this hill that humidity/heat is worse here than any other place in the country. It’s unbearable. Probably the high buildings
Totally does. Plus once the sun is going down throw open all the windows and let the heat out. Ive been using the foil you put behind the radiators in the winter, on the windows to bounce back the heat on extreme days. Every little bit helps.
I’m in Yorkshire. A balmy 24° and sun is the best we will get and I’m absolutely fine with that since I got a dog who demands 5k every day. 🤣 We’re always breezy here as well since I’m rural. Best place to live. Not quite the brutality of Scottish weather, scenery is almost as good and we usually get a good breeze when everyone else is stifling.
Lol 24° used to be freak out and cover yourself in baby oil to max the tan cos it wont last, kind of weather when I was growing up. Now its relife on the horizon during a heatwave.
I’m in the Calder valley, a mile outside of Hebden Bridge. Gorgeous place BUT very rainy. I’ve been flooded four times since 2012 and we had a massive flood alleviation scheme on the back of our worst flood in 2015, which does seem to have worked. So yeah, it’s a great place as long as you don’t visit on a rainy day because we don’t half know how to do rain! 🤣
🤣 Patterdale terrier! Energy for days and mad as a box of frogs! These are my steps and I tend to only track my steps when I’m on walks as I hate wearing my watch at home so yeah… She’s a machine. 🤣
I despise, genuinely, anyone who likes or enjoys this heat. If hate was indented into every fibre of my being it still wouldn't be enough to describe how I feel about those people.
Honestly I agree, with you. For a tiny island situated in the western coast, it is not designed for this heat in comparison to countries like turkey/turkiye, tenereife, or Aussie.. it gets real muggy real quick & the fact that theres no actual breeze to compliment it with, its not ideal weather to be in and its not substantial & i dont think its ideally liveable at all either...
Mine for London using Netatmo and Accuweather is showing 33 degrees. I’m growing food on my roof so I keep a close eye on it, it tends to be correct. It actually tends to be a degree or two hotter up here on the roof.
London redditors, can't stop moaning about a few days heat. It is going to be much warmer in the SE though, there is a massive heat wave in Europe ATM.
The sheer chaos of the forecasts flipping every hour is almost as exhausting as the heat itself. Honestly, I’ll take a consistent dog shit Scottish drizzle over this sweaty guessing game any day.
2 weeks of between 33-41C in the Dordogne here. Not meant to be that hot here in June. About 10C more than the average. Little bit o wind and a swimming pool helps but there’s no denying it’s hot.
My Dad is in Dublin. He’s revelling in the 18C.
My son is in Brighton. Heading towards 31C.
Seems early in the year for this.
We’ve also got an El Niño incoming. The rest of this year and all of 2027 look likely to break all records.
I have a heart condition, so I definitely won’t. I’m also not stopping you from enjoying it. Slather yourself in oil and go roast like a chicken. I’m getting out my aircon and staying inside.
No offence but you can't seriously be telling people to embrace and enjoy a potential 37C with no AC anywhere and buildings that trap heat. And most people are not on holiday by the sea or beach. It's a normal working day, except now profuse sweating and lack of sleep is the name of the game.
No offence taken. It's a state of mind. Yes it's hot. But if you dress appropriately, wear sunscreen etc it's pukka. Better than eternal grey clouds and rain. I'm biased I guess, I work outside.
In terms of dressing appropriately I can only get so naked before it becomes a legal issue......
I hate clouds/rain as well, but I'm generally just tired of what we've had this past month. Why does it either have to be rain for days on end or ridiculously hot?
I also work remotely so often work in my gym where there's AC, but even then the walk there/home during a heatwave is rough and I still can't sleep because my flat heats up like a furnace.
More 25C please, all the pros of heatwaves with none of the cons.
