Well folks...it's too hot

darkgen · 29 Jun 2019 at 12:37

Registering 34.8c in my south facing sun trap. It is a bit toasty!

khemist · 29 Jun 2019 at 12:41

Light rain, cloudy and 15c here for the next few days, back to normality.

Jesus wept! Just walked into my garden. Like an oven ffs. My frenchie is looking a little sad indoors, but I can’t let him lay in this heat. It could kill him.

It’s already horrible and hasn’t even peaked. To think we had weeks of this last year and had hotter at night to.

We've had highs of 38 here near Paris this week, it's a bit cooler today at 35 /s

Send help plz, think am ded.

I'm rather stupidly about to brave a brisk walk to the local boozer. Likely a swollen sweaty mess by the time I get there. Reward: beer and aircon!

I love the heat and after sitting outside for an hour it even got too much for me. Can only stay out in this if there is a pool to cool off in which I don't have unfortunately!

It’s the humidity that gets me.
Last year, whilst it was so hot, I didn’t feel it as much as usual, and I think the humidity was a lot lower then.
One question, what weather pattern has caused this one day blip for us?
Europe has had the heat for several days, but looking at the maps here it just seems to be Saturday, and then tomorrow 8c cooler!
Couldn’t see any difference in wind direction either?

Can't believe they're having women's world cup matches in this heat.
People really should adapt to the weather rather than business as usual.

Thankfully, we had aircon installed in the house a few months ago. It’s blissful, especially sleeping in an airconed bedroom.

during the week we actually had record high temperature up above us, beating aug 2003 but down at ground level we had cooler air being pulled from the north sea which kept us cooler than the continent. Today that north sea breeze has gone and we now have a south east breeze from France and so the temperature has shot up

28C+ in the Southampton area, Wunderground station near Butser Hill reading 34C...

Really don't feel up for heading back out in a while for ride in the South Downs hills, it might might have to wait until first thing tomorrow.

Tek81 · 29 Jun 2019 at 14:24

It's Betty Swollocks weather. I wish I lived on the coast, I'd go for a dunking.

builder22 · 29 Jun 2019 at 14:36

it feels roasting here despite being cloudy/dark! unusual

DJMK4 · 29 Jun 2019 at 14:39

Horrific..

Feel faint and don't really want.to.do.anything..if I do anything I'll sweat buckets.

I really don't understand people who enjoy this heat unless your in the sea or by a pool.

Give me. 18- 23 oC any day

You see the media giving positive spins on countries with 40-50oC heat like it's a good thing. It really isn't.. it will only climb

Mowed the garden, that's me done for today.

Thank you for that.
Presumably, that breeze then comes back tomorrow which is why the temps suddenly drop?

Who is jelly?, thunder and lightning is amazing here at the minute, managed to capture a pic.

Rroff · 29 Jun 2019 at 15:06

I'm not feeling too bad weirdly - it feels airless and the air you breath is warm which is horrid but it isn't quite humid or clamy enough to be unbearable though it is a little uncomfortable.
