Question is why don't more people. It's delicious.

Savage.

You guys need to open your horizons!

Suns finally off the front of the house, so can open blinds and windows.

I think it's making things worse.

I left the shaded side windows closed. Opening them made zero difference.

Mmm Ball soup.

The night is going to be awesome. I imagine people are going to sleep outside or by a open window/door? For those with houses that hold onto the heat. Then it starts to somewhat cooldown by 4 - 6am as the heat climbs again by 8 - 10am.

Just gonna try to get heat out of the house ready for tomorrow. Wont be even trying to sleep. Would like to get to a supermarket for more supplies but wont die if that doesn't happen.

Edit: i have to open the front door to get heat to move at all, so cant just abandon it or some chav will take all my stuff.

Kept all the windows closed and curtains pulled all day and the house is at a lovely 25°, no a/c or cooling.

The little 'un next door seems to have abandoned her paddling pool, you reckon her Mother would think it weird if a middle-aged bloke jumped over the wall and splashed about a bit?

 

[adam cool dude]

It's becoming more common. 40c is not my idea of a good summer.

If it does become more common then we as humans will adapt. We have houses that are built for cold temperatures. Never have this problem when abroad because the rooms have air con.

I'm in Devon, it's 29 here now. My house in Gloucester is 26 degrees inside, 36 outside.

We have a mobile A/C unit, but we don't use it often. Today it would be one.

What we do is batten down the hatches at around 7/8am, then once the temperature outside is lower than temperature inside, we put two fans in a spare room upstairs next to open windows, pointing out, then open the windows in our bedroom. This works remarkably well and cools the house down really quick. Apparently a trick done by Australians in houses without A/C.

u wot m8....you dunk toast in tea?

My dad told me during his first job when he was 16 or so, there was a guy with no teeth who dunked every part of his packed lunch in tea to eat it. Cheese sandwich? Dunked. Crisps? Dunked. Etc etc

why not get your own paddling pool? thats not a bad idea, emergency paddling pool!

Similar here - 26-27.5C in the rooms without aircon, 36 outside. Some of the rooms have aircon but not mine LOL.

Lol I don’t think I have ever eaten toast not dunked

And to add to that we always butter the bread pretoasting

 

[200sols]

That is absolutely vile tbh.

It's the people with thick stone houses I envy to a degree in these times with tall ceilings. They don't even need to close windows or have curtains pulled.

We have moved our mattress down into the front room where our ac will cool the room down to a lovely 23c. Being made of concrete our house will hold the heat all night.

 

[labbby]

soo kept windows shut all day until the back ones were in the shade, inside has gone from 29 to almost 35c... i am a noob lol


this place is mad, no insulation so its just sucking in heat but during the winter its like a bloody icebox...

I have managed to keep the inside of the house OK today but I think it hasn't been as hot as the BBC has claimed. In the peak of the day it was super super warm but theres cloud cover now and its OK outside. It ain't 34 degrees outside right now. I would be surprised if its even 30.

Will open the windows up around 8 and start the cooldown.
