How many people on here actually work nights and sleep during the day ?

My bedroom has been hitting 32 to 35 during this weather,try and sleep during that heat

Me - only been ~3 days it has been really uncomfortable though. Today hasn't been ideal either - feels quite airless even though not really hot and woke up twice feeling dehydrated which has given me a headache.

Also work nights and it's grim, that said day shifts sleeping at normal times is bad.

AGAIN, forecasted rain didn't happen.
Forecasters must be high or something, they've been wrong every time since this heat started.

Can't stop sweating today even though its supposedly cooler. I wasn't this bad even when we were hitting the 30's, the air just feels so sticky.

Looks like no rain for at least three weeks here. It’s megahot here today.

Got off the plane. Darn, it is indeed hot. Hotter than Spain. Garden just about survived. Just. Grass looks grim.

Rain was forecast here as well, it is warm but a bit overcast 20c odd.

It was 25c at lunch and now it's actually raining.

We had a bit rain in the North East this afternoon and it was lovely.

Some very rapid pressure changes in places has pushed the rain away for the most part that was moving south.

The weather has become increasing hard to predict and increasingly prone towards extremes since the stratospheric events at the start of the year.

No rain forecast here, London area, for 2 weeks currently. Will it ever rain?

We had a "double tap" fairly extreme event which always seems to cause disruptive weather patterns over the next year or so afterwards - not just the more immediate wintery weather that often follows it.

We had 5 mins of light mist/the lightest possible rain this morning. The plants were not amused when it stopped five mins later tho. Then the sun came out and immediately everything was dry and cooking on gas mark 6 again. As I stared directly at the sun, I almost thought I could faintly hear it laughing; laughing at the tiny scurrying sacks of water being slowly boiled alive. However that could just be the madness induced by this BLOODY AWFUL HOT **** ALL DAY EVERY DAY FOR TWO **** MONTHS SO FAR....

P.S. Please rain soon. The sun is killing me.
