It's too hot :(

[Dirk Diggler]

People moaning that there's a government warning, how does anyone manage to get their feathers ruffled at such a thing?

..There was a heatwave in '76 and we got by without so much as an amber alert..

WTF

I've just got off the phone with a global weather expert from Albuquerque, he said that August will have a record breaking 55-60 heatwave coming directly from the equator, teleporting itself via a Gijuainy cloud system and will magically appear directly over my house for 6 and a half weeks apparently.

It's funny that 10 years later this thread is still the go to when it comes to hot weather

Who here still has their heating still on

NHS. Some elderly people who don’t realise it’s on.

Probably the same people that are still sleeping under duvets

 

[Lysander]

27C and I'm surviving fine at the moment. Not even a fan on.

Lies

The BBC saying 40 degrees and the Met Office and Accu weather both saying 35. That's quite a difference. Are the bbc really that bad these days for forecasting?

I stopped using the BBC for weather years ago when it was wrong on a daily basis. I only use the met office now.

You know, you don't have to be an idiot in every post.

The evidence is against you...

 

[andy_mk3]

Met is 38c and BBC is 39c, not a lot between them here.

 

[DustyMiller]

Yet it’s a lot hotter than last year when 1600 people died because of the heat.

Yeah, just a bit of warm weather

Do you have a source for that figure, as the ONS have not release any data for 2021 yet. And did any of these 1600 deaths also be linked to Covid, as a lot of the deaths were last year ?

Ours is never fully off.

Every room has its own smart TRV though with different temperatures set for different times of the day so none of them will be calling for heat any time soon

Same as mine and the system knows the weather forecast so uses that to an extent to work out if the heating needs to be on.
Even though rooms are set to 18c even if it drops below that it won't come on because the difference between the set temperature and the outdoor temperature isn't big enough.

THAT'S what's wrong, i forgot to swap out the 15tog duvet for the thin one.

Those numbers are from chief scientific officer at the UKHSA , the quotes are on the BBC article.

Yeah the BBC cheaped out a few years ago and ditched the Metoffice for their weather forecasting. It’s useless here now as they basically just copy the Aberdeen weather report.

 

[Chris Wilson]

Best to ask a farmer for short range forecasts, IMHO.

I'm seeing a good 3-4ºC difference for Liverpool on Monday between various weather apps. Although they're all above 30ºC so I'm just hoping the trains are fine
