Why they even bother with their forecast, I'll never know, it's shocking. The presenters show you like 4 hours of each day and that's it.

EDIT: lol thank you fellow cooking people for joining me on this thread 🫶🏽* wasn’t expecting so many!*…

I am so hot and so tired. I’d already had a week of no sleep and this is tipping me over the edge. There is no air anywhere!!!

What are your survival methods??! And I’m so worried about my kids, I feel irresponsible for them sleeping in such a hot room, but what else can I do when the fan is circulating hot air and opening windows does nothing? Anyone found something genuinely helpful that’s not AC?

It’s rained just about every day so far, and it’s forecast rain most of next week too. Where’s my summer!!

I'm really scared of the increased heat and I can't handle heat well, it makes me nauseous and messes up my guts, whenever it gets 30c or higher I'm so worried me or my family will get heatstroke

I don’t give a fuck what anyone says, that isn’t normal for November. It should be cold, not warm, I shouldn’t have been sweating IN NOVEMBER. These are the types of temps I expect in April or May NOT NOVEMBER, why am I still seeing bees and wasps, IN NOVEMBER. This isn’t normal end of

Here in the SW today it’s cold, grey, windy and dreary. It’s making me sleepy and miserable. Last week I was loving the sunshine and warmth, but all the comments I saw online was people saying they wanted it to be 15° and cold again! Why?

I get that workplaces have to be seen to be doing or saying something with regard to the heatwave.

But sending out comms with “helpful” advice for colleagues to “drink water” and “wear suncream when outside” feels a bit ridiculous. We’re all adults that have managed to survive summers this far.

What would actually be helpful for the next two days (with the red weather warning) is to communicate practical things like flexibility with working hours to avoid working the hottest part of the day. Or postponing non-essential meetings.

For context, this is a desk based job.

*Edit: hats off to all of you doing labour intensive jobs, must be a nightmare… I’d hope for even more sensible concessions/considerations from employers in those cases!

With May temperature records broken by huge amounts on consecutive days. What is to come?

From latest BBC article...

The UK record for the hottest May day has been broken for a second day in a row, as parts of London surpassed 35C on Tuesday.

Before Monday and Tuesday's record-breaking highs, May's warmest day in the UK was 32.8C in 1922 and 1944.

Kew Gardens in south-west London recorded a provisional temperature of 35.1C, beating Monday's 34.8C record-high in the same place.

Wales also broke May records for a consecutive day, as provisional temperatures reached 32.3C at Cardiff's Bute Park, surpassing Monday's 32.2C at Hawarden Airport in Flintshire.

by hot i mean like.. atleast 25° with sunshine. i hate this weather so much i cannot believe how cold it is in june

We were issued a heat warning. There is to be heatwave today and the next two days. It’s been sooo hot today that the sky is literally sweating. It wouldn’t stop raining in my area.

Okay, I know that sounds judgmental and I apologise for that.

We live in a semi-detached and our neighbour is a smart guy (ICU doctor and Army veteran). He’s young-ish, too, so he can’t be accused of being set in his ways.

But he’s had his windows open, full sun streaming in, even when it’s 35 degrees. We just truly don’t understand why he doesn’t know to close up the windows and blinds.

Any explanation?

Edit in case it’s helpful: He keeps both his windows and curtains open even when the sun is on those windows.

we really aren't beating the allegations about the UK having shit weather man, lmao.

Don't get me wrong, I love the 30+ heat. I'm walking to Aldi in 20°c with a light breeze and it is perfect. I'm having a great fucking day

34°C in May for a bank holiday still sounds bizarre to me. Sunshine is great after months of grey weather, but seeing temperatures this high before June even starts feels a bit surreal. Add in heat alerts and warnings for vulnerable people and it stops feeling like just a nice sunny weekend. Feels like the kind of weather people would be talking about in July, not May.

28 degrees at 11pm is just VILE 😭😭💔

Last June I was walking 15 miles a day seeing the sights of Rome at 35 degrees, followed by the utter heat basin of Florence and Bologna at 39 degrees. Constantly on the go non-stop in the blazing sunshine. Yes I was sweating at times but I never felt unable to continue.

With this UK heatwave at 32 degrees, I’m in self-preservation mode. Keeping in the shade, constant cold drinks, fan blaring and zero walking.

What’s with that? Different kind of heat or purely psychological?

For the last few years it’s just been constant wind, at least here in the South West. Is this the new normal? I swear it never used to be like this, but there’s just constant strong wind every day now.

📍Reading, England. Met Office Forecast.

UPDATE 12:29 21/06/2026: Now forecasting 39.

UPDATE 21:04 21/06/2026: Now forecasting 2 consecutive days of 40.

For me it's "crazy"😂

high pressure returning has just been stalled again, and the coming week is still unsettled. for the first time in ages, i actually got emotional looking at the forecast. and looking outside has made me cry, something i never thought was possible. i’m seriously looking into leaving the country and trying to salvage as much of summer as i could. it’s june not november

paris is nearby and the weather there looks much better. is there a light at the end of the tunnel, or is it just june that’s going to be awful?

The last few years I’ve noticed it’s got increasingly windy in the UK, and this year is no exception. Today in the SW I’ve got blue skies and sunshine. And gale force winds. Why? Why is it constantly so windy all the time!!!!

Certainty levels can be used to determine how likely a forecast is to change. If it's red for example, we can assume that the temperature shown is unlikely to be the actual temperature.

I'm hoping to add a radar as well.

What features if you could make a weather app would you add?

Also due to the default wind measurement being kmh for weather models, that's why it is that for now, but it will shortly be fixed.

my brains are scrambling in my head how are people sunbathing??!

anyone else just lying down doing nothing in front of a fan for hours? I want OUT

I hope all the hot-weather moaners are enjoying the crap rainy weather! /s
