It's too hot :(

[Kainz]

My new build has been over 28c for days. It hit a record 32.4c on Tuesday.

Earlier as I was leaving for work, I looked at the living room temps and it was 26c with the window opened all night. Either way it was glorious to see.

On the way to work with a thin jacket now as it is currently 15c with highs of 25c later, except it’ll be cloudy all day.

New build taking a long time to cool back down. Fans in the windows blowing wonderful 17c air in but bedroom still 26c. Definitely getting Aircon installed for the next heatwave.

I have the same issues. Got home last night and it was nice and cool out. Looked at the living room temps and it was 28c despite the windows being open. There was no breeze until much later around 10pm.

Aircon being purchased in Jan-Feb for sure.

Today, it’s the first time I am wearing trousers - bar work trousers, since 7th July.

Don’t think I have worn shorts outside work for that length of time.

My property was built in 2009. The three storey homes on the estate all have their windows/skylights open. It must be incredibly hot up there with roof insulation by your bedroom.

Have a loft myself (top floor flat with a pitched roof) and the insulation is 25cm thick!

House cooling down now, wind and rain outside. Still taking it's time.

I found the humidity made last night worse than the night after the heatwave. Go away 70% humidity.

Finally? You had heat for 2 days

But haven’t had significant rain for weeks.

Yeah the humidity is what makes the hot weather suck in the UK. I have a relative in far east currently, said 25c is nothing, it was 43c where they were. I said, 25c with 75% humidity is absolutely a horrible sweaty mess, while 43c with only 12% humidity is basically drier than a nuns....

Lack of rain is making outdoors look like grass in Rome! We haven't had any rain, real rain, in so long!

Weekend actually looks quite nice!

Had to close one of the windows last night as it was really cool. But least it's mild and comfortable again.

We've had warm sunny weather for a long time actually and very little rain.

Rain, wind and cloud. I love it

My Perfect Draft beer machine has finally got itself down to 4c. Put a fresh keg in on Monday night, usually takes an hour a degree but it’s been struggling. This is the real problem.

Worst part is that the house doesn't cool down properly. Despite it getting down to 15 degrees overnight the bedroom only got down to 21 in the depths of the night.

Bring on the autumn I say.

My bedroom is west facing, I find drawing the curtains mid/late afternoon helps to cool it down enough by the time I go to bed.

I wish I could hit 21 even overnight, lowest this month on the daily chart is 21.7 at the start of July.

21c is lovely for night time.

House is now starting to cool, everything open allowing the cooler air to blow through, lovely.

It was a very fine drizzle on the school run, like really fine. I didn't bother with a coat, neither did my boys. By the time we got to school it was really coming down. They were soaked but loving it. By the time I got home I was drenched.

It was lovely.

We should have used this heatwave to weed out the lizard people from society. Some of you are wrong 'uns. A bedroom should be under 20 degrees at night. Preferably 18 ish. If I'm still hot with just a sheet over me in the night its too damn warm!
