It's too hot :(

Personally I would say don't muck about with fans, go for an air conditioner. I realise maybe it's a bit much for some, but I would say £350 to never have a disturbed night due to the heat again, it's money well spent.


Get a mobile unit for £350 though. Does the job fine for me. Came out last week, will wheel it back up to the garage in September.

Hmm, not a bad idea at all actually. I’m sure there will be some nights where the fan just won’t cut it.

Too damn hot to stay indoor, so decided to dust off my cycling shorts, much to the digust of the general public.

Aren’t portable air conditioners really noisy though ?

As someone who gets hot and sweats easily, noise is far preferable to heat. Give me a loud a/c unit over humid, sweat-inducing temperatures any day.

You really live in the wrong place dude!

No. It's the very opposite! I live in San Diego and it's wonderfully temperate for much of the year. When it does get hot (i.e. over 25 C), humidity is usually still bearable (< 80%). I think that it's one of the best places to live in the USA if you're used to cold English weather!

Right now, it's 17 C with 68% humidity, and the high is only projected to be 19 C today. London, for example, is currently 26 C with ~ 50% humidity.

Oh, and San Diego has some beautiful coastline too (10 minutes away from where I live).

Bunch of nancies. It's been warm but it's hardly hot. I went for a 5k run in it today and barely broke a sweat.

Looks like there's a lot of lightning action in South London, seeing flashes all the way from Camden!

 

[XeNoN89]

Yep rumbling away here now

 

[Conscript]

It's weird. I'm seeing lightning in the clouds every 2 seconds or so but there's no thunder. Completely silent.

 

[NightSt@lk3r]

Can see the lightning over Southampton from here up on the hills in Salisbury, thick cloud is making the lightning very orange and spooky looking.

 

[XeNoN89]

Crazy here in Wimbledon non stop thunder and lightning like a strobe light

 

[Jean-F]

I’m in Rotherhithe, and I can hear lots of low rumbling, seemingly from the
East, Kent direction, haven’t noticed any lightning though.

 

[TonyTurbo78]

Storm kicking off in Southampton now, could be a good one, plenty of lightning but above the clouds, little bit eerie looking

 

[NightSt@lk3r]

All the action is staying above the clouds here in Salisbury atm.

 

[Minusorange]

As always living on the NW coast absolutely sucks for any remotely exciting weather, yes it's been nice and sunny but I'd love a good storm

 

[NightSt@lk3r]

Really picking up now, the entire sky is lighting up dark blue over head and turning orange nearer the horizon, never seen it like this before.

 

[XeNoN89]

My road right now....

 

[dirtybeatfreak]

It's right over our heads here, some mental strikes

 

[robfosters]

Wow, just had 10 minutes of the apocalypse here!
