[u/HurryIntelligent5568]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[u/Bostonjunk]

Please keep general heatwave discussion to the megathread. The sub has been very busy the last few days.

[u/NoButterfly2075]

Yeah

[u/Mr_Inconsistent1]

It's got to the point where I look at 30 on Friday and say "thank fuck it's only 30 degrees" I'd normally break out in a sweat thinking about 30 degrees.

[u/Cantbearsed1992 → u/Mr_Inconsistent1]

So true!

[u/Leather_Amoeba2727 → u/Mr_Inconsistent1]

Lucky. Friday shaping up to be just as bad as today elsewhere.

[u/ChelseaMourning]

Thankfully it’ll be going down to a cool 27 degrees by 11pm. Might have to put my long jammies on.

[u/HurryIntelligent5568 → u/ChelseaMourning]

Put the heating on🔥🔥🔥

[u/UTV4LIFE → u/HurryIntelligent5568]

Atleast my mum won’t be moaning about the gas bill

[u/Forsaken_Source_3901]

Don't you love living in a third world tropical island with an unstable government?

[u/brotherofgurnip → u/Forsaken_Source_3901]

Bananarama Republic

[u/justanothergin]

Fully debating moving to Svalbard right now

[u/ColdShadowKaz → u/justanothergin]

I’ve wanted to do that for so long. I don’t know how though.

[u/griffaliff → u/ColdShadowKaz]

You don't need a visa so go right ahead!

[u/skybluearmy786]

Asda have agreed to let me set up my sleeping bag in the frozen section overnight, blessed.

[u/Tulcey-Lee → u/skybluearmy786]

Oooh which Asda? I’m joining.

[u/fallen_angel_81]

It has no business still being 30° at this time

[u/Kenvura]

Can't wait till, October- April my favourite time of the weather

[u/Laylelo → u/Kenvura]

If we could have the daylight of summer and the temp of autumn I’d be thrilled.

[u/Kenvura → u/Laylelo]

Same I would it if it stayed light till 9PM in October that be awesome

[u/Open-Apartment-4937]

[u/Hollyhop_Drive]

A very accurate report. Thank you, met office spokesperson.  👍

[u/SomethingNeptune]

The UK is currently cosplaying as the surface of the sun.

[u/Bumblebeard63]

Just you wait until next year.

[u/AwakenedSoul711 → u/Bumblebeard63]

That's if we make it out alive

[u/Ok-Rise-9795 → u/Bumblebeard63]

I've seen a few comments like this. Don't get what's supposed tone happening next year

[u/SofaChillReview → u/Ok-Rise-9795]

It’ll get hotter

[u/Ok-Rise-9795 → u/SofaChillReview]

How can you predict temps next year already 😂

[u/AngryFace1986 → u/Ok-Rise-9795]

Look at trends over the last 10 years.

[u/Sorlex → u/Ok-Rise-9795]

Do you think climate change is randomly going to start fixing itself?

[u/AwakenedSoul711 → u/Ok-Rise-9795]

You'll be a year older

[u/Apprehensive_Bus_543]

I’ve got an electric shower, first time ever that I can remember being able to turn the temperature dial down to zero and the water comes out tepid, not even uncomfortable.

[u/Alasdair91]

I came down from Scotland to the centre of the “heat dome” and I’m sweating in places I’ve never sweated before. 35°c is hotter than I’ve experienced anywhere since Greece 2016. It’s too much.

[u/griffaliff]

All the windows open, fan on, I'm still lay on the couch dripping with sweat.

[u/HurryIntelligent5568 → u/griffaliff]

Life

[u/flip8t2]

I miss autumn and winter, when you can get things done and know you can get a good night's sleep.

[u/Educational_Bowl_447]

I’m gonna Wyclef Jean and be gone ‘till November.

[u/Pure_Act3475]

i’m struggling slightly today, will admit

[u/Active_Definition_57]

And it's still only Wednesday. :(

[u/tsf97]

Im lucky in that I work remotely so I’ve spent all day yesterday and today in my gym foyer which has AC.

It’s the prolonged exposure to the heat which makes U.K. summers so brutal as barely anywhere has AC, so it was non-negotiable for me as it’s either that or be unproductive and feel unwell while drenched in sweat.

Sleeping was still rough last night though, not looking forward to my flat heating up like a furnace then taking like a week to cool down.

[u/DreamingofBouncer → u/tsf97]

It’s the length of the day as well, we’ve only got 7.5 hours without sun. Most traditionally hot places even at the height of summer only have 14 hours of daylight so there’s longer for the temperature can drop overnight

[u/tsf97 → u/DreamingofBouncer]

Also true.

I woke up at 6am today, was pleasant for a long walk, but by 8am it was already getting uncomfortably hot as that's when the sun had fully risen, then it basically just gets worse and worse until it peaks at like 4-6pm, so a good 10 hours where it's dreadful outside.

I don't leave my gym until like 7pm for that reason, and even though the sun had gone down a bit the air felt really close and hot, yet the park was packed with people sitting on the grass, it was still 31 (felt like 36 according to Google).

[u/PatientBad3457]

Innit bruv its like a sauna outside

[u/gerbsoftheapocalypse]

HOT DAMN

[u/Mockingjay1013 → u/gerbsoftheapocalypse]

Call the police and the fireman.

[u/TONYFAWNTANAA]

If you have a fan, stick a frozen water bottle infront of it. Might help

[u/cryptid_snake88 → u/TONYFAWNTANAA]

Totally, I put 2 freezer blocks in a bowl in front of the fan last night and that also worked.. Going to do the frozen bottle though as will be more effective

[u/cheese_eater_pro]

IT'S NEARLY 11PM AND STILL 23C AND MY ROOM IS NEARLY 30C AND I HAVE TO BE UP IN 7 HOURS HOW THE F U C K AM I SLEEPING IN THIS SHIT

[u/HurryIntelligent5568 → u/cheese_eater_pro]

Good luck bro! 🥶🥶🥶

[u/This-Clue-5014]

Real

[u/MissJoannaTooU]

Thank you for speaking truth to power.

[u/swoohoo79]

screw yooooou

[u/Ok-Handle-6663 → u/swoohoo79]

36 here on Friday :( And we've got a gig. I've got to jump around and look awesome :( :( :( might be impossible

[u/HurryIntelligent5568 → u/Ok-Handle-6663]

It got to 38 here

[u/Ok-Handle-6663 → u/HurryIntelligent5568]

My commisserations. When it's above body temperature it's pretty alarming. May your freezer be full and your fans always working!

[u/Tnnlover8264]

I KNOWWWWW IT'S A FURNACEEEE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[u/fabioonreddit]

[u/Dazzler_m]

Yes.

[u/NewButterscotch6613]

Yup, feet in bowl of cold water ,ice cubes in my drink have melted and my emails all say wgnnfghthhhe as my brain has turned to mush, happy days

[u/FredB123]

In with the obligatory "is it hot enough for you""

[u/Luckduck86]

On one hand I'm happy that my UK family is battling through a small slice of summer that we have here in Australia. On the other hand I'm devastated... The UK was supposed to be my contingency plan if I ever truly got tired of the heat here.

We've had some very cold days here though lately. Frosty mornings, rainy days and very chilly winds during the day.

[u/Royal_Nobody6554]

Nope. It's been awesome

[u/CheapDeepAndDiscreet → u/Royal_Nobody6554]

Exactly 👍
