It's too hot :(

Yeah I'm just hiding but still it's 25c in here and that's too hot for me.

Going out for a hilly cycle ride for ~4.5 hours having set off just after 0900, with an average temp of 82F and max of 91F according to the GPS computer, is a really bad idea even taking it very easy... Only just managed to portion the last of my 2l of water to get home.

at 10am this morning my skin felt like it's burning within seconds of going outside, so i stayed in.

Been painting in doors all day. Done me a favour reducing drying times and all the doors are open so no smell.

Thermostat says 28.5 ‘c in living room right now!

I'm doing a 8hr shift portering and I think I might be dead by the end of it.

Back in London for a week didnt realise how much I would miss aircon

ShiWarrior · 26 Aug 2019 at 20:53

i thought putting a fan up to the window pointing outwards for hours would help ?
(this is how ive got it right now)

last night i put it over the other side of the bedroom and put it on max (in one direction) and seemed to help better ?

thankfully the last of the heat tomorrow, 28c forecast :mad:

Then it's back down to a perfect 18c to 20c for the rest of the week.

It works better if the fan is taking in cold air from outside.

Google suggests I was correct lol
I will turn it around tonight

Same here, last night was pretty horrible. I'm flying back home to the land of AC tomorrow though.

Actually glad to be in the office today (AC FTW), but dreading the commute home.

Nah, 2 airconned trains, but a 20 minute layover at Clapham Junction and a 15 minute walk up a hill to my house. Sweattastic!

Your knackers will need a good airing when you get home

I'm so happy it's back to raining again already because we just haven't had enough..... :rolleyes:

They were trying to say on the news that yesterday was the hottest august bank holiday ever because Heathrow recorded temperatures of 33c.

Not quite sure that a gigantic concrete/tarmac heatsink which has literal jets of heat parading around and didn't even exist (properly) 50 years ago is the best place to measure historic temperatures :rolleyes:

makes for a good headline though I guess.
