It's lovely today. Went out with just a jumper and no coat. Summer is on it's way!
I love Wales so so much. So glad I made the move.
Went to Blue Lagoon today
I went in
And stayed in 2 hours (with wetsuit)
Yeah can't imagine what being in a city is like in summer! I always felt for those in tiny flats during lockdown.
I've never lived in a big city except for uni in Sheffield. But even that wasn't right in. And obviously not there for summer.
There are some gems around here. And I'm not even in the really nice part of Wales.
Must be a mineral In the water to create that blue colour. A few of the old quarry pools around here have the same hue
Difference is humidity. The drier it is the higher temperatures the human body can withstand comfortably.
It's Not Just the Heat, It Really Is the Humidity
The forecast is hot and humid in parts of the U.S. this weekend.

I've always been more comfortable on holiday with higher temps than the UK mainly because its less humid.

Less keen on it in the UK as it's much more uncomfortable.

True humidity does make things feel hotter. The only issue with your assesment is that the UK is not very humid. It's middle of the range for heat/ humidity. It's a temperate climate.Difference is humidity. The drier it is the higher temperatures the human body can withstand comfortably.

Its a special kind of hell reserved for anyone not wealthy enough to afford a home in the country (or without aircon fitted as standard, one thing I noticed from photos of bombed out apartment blocks in ukraine almost all of them had external aircon units more than we can manage over here apparently)
Nice if you're sitting by a pool under a shade sipping a cold drink, not so much stuck in a sweaty office in a suit or worse working outside sans shade

There are cheaper places. Less so to rent I expect. But if you're job location flexible there are some amazingly cheap places in the depths of Wales for example.
