Been like this for several years now, at least a decade IMHO. Global warming?
It's too hot :(

Just feels like it's getting more frequent / intense. The last 2 years were really bad.

Not this year, though. Not up north, anyway.

Gaming room is currently 29C without my air con on. That’s with my hardware off.
Absolute bliss on a hot day to be able to retreat into the cool air.
I’ve gone for the alternative sea breeze and shade today

I would have said the last 2 have been fine, but the 2 before, maybe. This year has been very wet and not all that warm for me in North London.
Agreed, it does seem worse and more frequent.
20 years ago can't recall anyone having aircon residentially, now its so much more common.

We have had a few hot weeks though. June and last September for example. Even just for those our air con has been worth it.
I’d say we get fewer inbetween days these days. Suns out it’s 30 plus or it’s dreary and crap. Certainly for the London area. I don’t remember this years ago.

Our homes are designed to retain the heat. It takes my parents' home about 2 days after the temps dip to get normal temps.

Our AC is coping with it well but the humidity is insane, having to empty the tank every couple hours.
Every summer is now "hot" where it used to be a luxury.

Especially with it only going down to 17C tonight.
I definitely reached my limit in the sun this afternoon. Even the breeze went.

29c indoors at 7pm. I've managed to leave it off so far today but it's too flippin' hot - AC on!
It's days like this where I'm so glad I had mini splits installed. Whole house is 22c which is perfect. I've barely even known it's hot outside as we're stuck at home at the moment anyway. It'd be unbearable without it. This kind of weather is becoming more and more frequent and I think more people are going to have it installed.
If you're referring to my post it costs about a quid each day I use it. Not much.

Temperature of my brickwork at 10PM. This is why you need AC, otherwise RIP to organisms within:

It’s not pleasant wearing polyester which is my uniform made from. Still struggling how majority of colleagues wear their fleece. Store gets warm from the constant opening of the doors.
Also many supermarkets have at least one chiller or freezer cabinet which plays up in warm weather.
Visited supermarkets in Portugal (Madeira), Spain, France, Croatia and Italy when it has been mid 30s and none had an empty chiller or freezer. Why is this? Are UK supermarkets sold crap chillers and freezers?

Yeah, I think that's my point. Go back 3 years and it was hot all summer, grass was dying and such... I think the start of this month I was cycling in some cold weather gear!
