This is the best summer for almost a decade for me, in the past 5-6 years 4 of them have had long spells of heat waves. In the past decade we have also had extremely short winters. So fans of heat have had it good in the south east and east midlands/anglia.
It's too hot :(

Warming up to 28-30°C during the week and then staying there for most of August.
Am struggling a bit at work with this hot weather as it seems to take everything out of me and leaves me feeling really tired
But Love having this hot weather on my day off
Really hoping they get that prediction wrong (hard to predict past a week).
But in case I am going to order a bunch of new towels to soak up my sweat. I have to sleep on them to protect my mattress and have one on my chair as well.
I know the feeling, but then I was reading the Dutch paper and saw this
I have lived in countries with normal little ones, but these are BIG and Nasty!

Yikes, my sister nearly died a few years back from a tick born disease in the states. They're not fun
Nah no sign of a August heatwave from the latest charts.

What an absolute grim weekend. I've left the house for a total of 15 minutes to get milk and bread. Cold, wet, windy. Classic summer.
I'm not a fan of extreme temperatures. But if I had to choose between this and earlier in the week? It wouldn't be a hard decision.
You're in the wrong part of the world mate. Bit of rain friday night early saturday dry after that but warm lovely day today not a cloud in the sky been out all day

I can only hope. The weather so far apart from a few random splurges, has been terrible and grey.
Give me a summer !

Apart from a brief window of an hour on Saturday evening it's been non stop rain for 48 hours here.
Cold as well. Maxed out at 13c today.

Had a bit of rain Saturday morning, otherwise it's been dry here.
Paid £3k and electric bills seem to have gone up by around £20pm. We sleep with it on at around 20c and have it on most of the day downstairs.
It’s been a god send and the best 3k I’ve ever spent.
We are still using the main winter duvet - it’s just fantastic.
We had a portable unit in our old flat and the noise was terrible. You couldn’t have a conversation or hear the TV.
With the fitted unit, it’s slight if immediately cooling. Once it reaches the set temp, then you simply do not hear it. It will maintain the temp and turn on/off sporadicly.
We are extremely pleased with it. During recent weather the bedroom windows developed mist where it was so warm outside.
Would highly recommend it and in the winter it acts as a heater so win win.

So you pay to cool your bedroom down so much so you need a winter duvet.
More money than sense.
Why not put a thin sheet on and save some money.

You could save the environment too?
Yes, we do pretty well.
It’s not a winter duvet per say. It’s a 25lbs weighted blanket designed to help you sleep and is just has heavy as a winter duvet.
Feels fab to snuggle under it with the air con on in the recent heat.

Looks like summer is over, forecast in Nottingham shows showers with a mix of thunder and lightning for the rest of the week.
When the supermarkets start keeping their doors closed, I’ll do my part too.
