Humidity shouldn’t feel too bad this week as there’s no cloud cover, just pure sun

Its hotter today than yesterday, it feels nice. The lack of cloud cover and the second day of heat seems to have removed the humidity.
Dry heat.. Nothing better.
I like this thread, two groups of people at the exact opposite of the spectrum of "like and want more heat" and those "hating it too hot and want less heat" and you get these posts from baffled people as to why other people aren't thinking on their exact wave level so it makes for a great read.
I wish the journalists though we accept not all of us like heatwaves, I totally accept all people are different and some love it really hot, yesterday though I read a headline say finally its here just what we've all been waiting for, who are you including in all, you've not asked everyone.

They haven’t asked everyone, but it’s a guarantee that the vast majority of the population are not crazy enough to want a cold dismal summer

no uThose not looking forward to it are wrong though. Just plain wrong
Humidity is going to be pretty awful this week. A dew point pushing 19-20ºC mid-week will feel absolutely awful. You don't need clouds to have high humidity.

So we're finally getting a summer...in September.
Better than nothing I guess.

Is there a summer version of SAD? Or is it more of a 'just don't like it and it makes me grumpy' kind of thing? Have you tried air con? Something like that could be quite a simple fix if your can afford the running costs.
As someone else said, at least you only have to put up with it for a few weeks, or even less as with this year. I have months of darkness and depression to drag myself through every winter.

Ah well, a few more showers needed then, nothing to cry about.

And I bet you don’t come on here and moan about it every five minutes
I have actually made a post earlier in this thread about this: I think I would be much less hateful of the hot weather if I knew I could escape it. It's the fact that it makes sleep very difficult, and it also means basic things like putting on the oven to cook food fills you with dread because it's heating up the house even more.
I have a portable AC unit, but as with all portable units, it's blooming loud!! So I either be uncomfortable and barely sleep, or barely sleep because of the noise. Either way, it means very little sleep, which leads to worsening anxiety and lethargy. My aim is to get a proper split system installed in the house, but to hit the two main rooms will be over £3k, plus running costs and annual maintenance. It's really not cheap!
I dunno....
But then I find the majority of the year a struggle. October to April is a time I keep my head down and try my hardest to get through each and every year without getting too withdrawn and down. This isn't just a seasonal preference like most people have.
We have one of the worst summer seasons in the world. People who don't like warm weather, or more specifically prolonged summer sunlight have 90%+ of the year their way but apparently this is still an issue. I wish I had it that good!

It sucks we left the EU, there aew far nicer climates for those who like the sun/light/warmth down there.
Italy would be my choice. I expect I'd need to be fluent in Italian though too.
Wish we had free movement

I'm usually fine with our summers. There's usually more than enough sunlight to see me through but this year has been dire. I'm not sure even Italy would be good enough to get me through the winter months. It's why pretty much all my holiday's over the last 2 decades have been during October and May and almost exclusively in Asia. Sadly, due to financial reasons and some worsening health, I haven't taken a holiday since 2018.
