It's too hot...

KatanaDV20 · 28 Sep 2011 at 23:00

I have to walk to college, takes at least 35 minutes, and most of it is uphill whilst carrying a backpack.

That sucks. This is what I do and it works great. Got a big towel? (not a huge beach or bath towel)..maybe one the size of 3 A4 sheets laid side to side.

Soak it in cold water...and leave it pretty soaked (dont squeeze out too much water). Put it in a plastic bag, chuck it in your backpack.

After a hot grimy sweaty walk...ohhhh yea haul that ice cold soaked towel out and pat head, neck, arms...u cool down in a hurry. Even better if u do this and sit in front of a fan

I wonder if some people in this thread are more photosensitive than others?

I'm not a massive fan of summer and heat.

I like the long daylight hours but don't like really hot weather.

Certainly a plausible theory... I for one love lounging in the sun! :cool:

Gonna struggle to sleep in this god-awfulness.

I've forgotten what cold weather feels like. I long for the winter days when it's cold outside and I can be warmed by my PS3. Now I'm being melted by it.

I hope you have the chronic runs tonight, and that someone has put dead bodies in your AC.

The problem is you don't get a chance to acclimatise to the heat. For months its 10oc then you get 2 days of 30oc+ and roast to death.

I do like the sun but would rather have 4 or 5 weeks of 20oc weather, rather than 2 days of 30oc tbh.

Yeah, the lack of consistency is annoying.

I am LOVING this heat Looking forward to 29 on Friday.

Absolutely! I'll take this weather anyday over the misery of cold in winter, when you have to wear multiple layers and multiple blankets...

This has affected my attempts at overclocking! Need more cooling...

Seriously, man up, it's freezing over here. But then, I've just got back from Florida

Ended with one of the best storms of the 90's though

Midwest USA, hot humid summers & severe storms every fall/spring. One time on July 4 it was like 115 F. it sucked...

Been a hot night here. Had to get my table fan out lol.

Jay794 · 29 Sep 2011 at 06:01

Typical english mentality, it's too hot, it's too cold, it's raining, where's the rain?

we're never happy

hurfdurf · 29 Sep 2011 at 06:27

I love the heat, the cold sucks

"andy" · 29 Sep 2011 at 06:40

felt hotter at work last night than it felt all summer. probably because id just became used to the blooming cold. i mean this time last week we had the heating on at home and this week we have got the windows open to let a bit of breeze through. mental

Camalot · 29 Sep 2011 at 06:42

I was in Southend yesterday and my god was it hot! Felt like i was going to faint / melt.

Cosimo · 29 Sep 2011 at 06:50

What a warm night and it's going to be 28°C today. Bring it on.

Jokester · 30 Sep 2011 at 21:28

21C today as I was coming home, as hot as it's been all summer.

physichull · 30 Sep 2011 at 21:35

Boiling hot, sticky night here in Manchester. May have to sleep with the fan on tonight, way too hot for my liking, was looking forwards to a bit of cool weather!
