This is torturous. I’ve just woke up in absolute floods of sweat. I’ve never felt like this during a night in the UK.

Was a nice 30 degC in back garden after sun down. That thermometer is sat on the fence in the direct sun.

At 5am it was 20 degC outside, 26 degC in the living room. Conservatory max on the thermometer has only got to 65.5degC this year, previously that got to its max of 67 degC.
 
:cry: yet the rest of Europe and the Med crack on day in day out for months at these temps. The Brits love a good ol' moan don't they? :D

I accept that the infrastructure is better acclimatised for warm temperatures on the continent. However it's not that bad really.

I will conceded that the tube is hell. I've just been on it and it's already unpleasant.

That’s the point though isn’t it, day in, day out. The majority of countries that experience this on a regular basis have their homes and infrastructure designed around it. 37C is well near Dubai summer daytime temperatures, where everywhere is air conned and buildings are designed to keep the heat out, not in. No idea how your doing the tube, I’m glad I have to go nowhere near it during this weather.

I personally don't have issues with it as I was brought up in the Med. There is good ventilation it's just warm.

Town is lovely in the summer though. I think dress codes could be adapted better.

However in the UK we've regularly had warm summers I think people forget.

Bottle of water and you're good to go just need to rush less and be more relaxed.

It’s definitely becoming the norm rather than the exception. What we need is for all new builds to have air con fitted, it’s pennies in the scheme of things, but as usual we build on the cheap and take generations to make such decisions. People look at me like I’m crazy when I say we have air con in the house.

My workplace wouldn’t even be usable in this heat, upstairs, in the sun with legally restricted window openings. No air con, despite a recent multi million pound refurb. Blows the mind.

I couldn't justify AC in the house personally but I guess it's good in the winter for keeping damp away? I agree however that new builds should be designed better for heat retention but also allowing air flow when necessary. I think ventilation systems are better at regulating temperatures over traditional radiators etc... However I guess it depends on people's behaviours etc ...

I guess workplaces are different but some workplaces like factories and such like don't have ac but have good ventilation.


I think what people actually struggle with is the humidity rather that just the warm temperatures.

I love this weather, can have a single duvet instead of two, no electric blanket and I sleep like a baby...bliss!

What is wrong with you! I have had the 3.5 tog duvet on for months. This is horrible weather for sleep. My room would be 25 degrees plus if I didn't aggressively try and cool it down each night before bed and leave all the windows open all night. Even then its too hot. Damn lizard people.
 
My friend is at hospital for her routine eye appt. She noticed there's heating on!! She opened a window backing onto the waiting area. The receptionist came round and closed it. To a chorus of sighing. Every one is feeling the heat. Why on earth do hospitals have the heating on? Esp in a clinic with appts? How much money is wasted this way NHS?
