This week's weather is ideal for people who come from hot countries where temperatures easily reach 45C+, for holidays. To them this weather is very nice

Theres actually people who leave nice countries and come to UK for a holiday?

30 deg and sunny is the limit of normal humans. Anyone that likes more than that is doing it wrong on a genetic level.

Driving without crashing has been a real challenge this past week.
Afraid not
The law does not state a minimum temperature, but the temperature in workrooms should normally be at least:
16°C, or
13°C if much of the work is physical.

Been outside setting up a gazebo this morning.
Sad thing is, it actually turned out hotter under there then it is just standing in the sun... >.<

It's ok, with a bit of luck the servers will die horribly soon and then they'll have to send us home. I checked the server rack earlier, a toasty 47'C!!

Thank goodness for that.

I had this argument with my last employer as my office was on the 8th floor on a roof terrace with direct sunlight all day.. temps would reach around 35-40 easily and was crazy hot. We weren't provided with water and they didn't really care. We were given a desk fan to help cool the office which did nothing but move the hot air around and I hated it... used to get migraines and things all the time

Wow after moving to Canada I find it so stupid at the amount of people in the UK who FREAK out when the weather changes just a little.
Yes you get about 3 days of snow a year and freak out and the whole country stops then it gets a little hotter than normal and someone needs to create a thread on it?
sigh

Get 'im boys.
Unlike other countries we aren't set up for extremes. We don't have AC, we don't have well insulated houses, we don't have infrastructure to cope with snow, we don't have storm drains, we don't have wardrobes of extreme clothing, we aren't climatised etc etc. The entire country is set up for mild weather.
And of course different people like different things. Some like it hot, some like it dressing, most people like it somewhere in the middle.

Have you never been to London? There's literally millions of the brown skinned folk.
Yep, sounds like our place. Although my desk fan broke, and I'm yet to receive a new one.
I don't complain if it's too cold, I can put a jumped on, but what am I suppose to do in this heat? I asked if I could remove my trousers, my request was denied
Roll on the weekend, and the rainy goodness
Every year we have at least 3 weeks of very hot weather (not nescerily consecutive weeks) and at least one very heavy downpour of snow. We have done since I was a kid, and yet there is a lack of money spent on the infrastructure to deal with this even though it happens on a yearly basis. It's kind of lol really.
Best thing I ever did was get AC in a car. Even if you're only in the hot weather driving for 30 minutes it will be the WORST 30 minutes of your life.

hows it lol worthy?
LOL worthy would be spending 100s of millions a year for it to sit around not being used. we do not get enough extreme weather to justify the expense, which is why we just cope with it and complain.
