Zoo Music Girl Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Today didn't feel too bad in London but I didn't actually leave the house! Sat in the shade in the garden for a while and it was actually quite breezy. Don't think I'll be doing that tomorrow. The flat above is having their bathroom renovated. Wondering if the builders will actually turn up tomorrow or not - that looks like extremely hot work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and the GFS was spot on for Glasto too!!! It was (some) people’s interpretation’s of the showers forecast that was way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozanne Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 What stupid reporting that is. This heat is hideous, stay safe everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvoram Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 This is the temp in the hallway of our flat above the pub!!! Right now at 11:15pm!!! It’s why we need aircon in the rooms!!! The heat from the pub equipment just rises… Wonder what it’ll be tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscore Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 It could be 41 degrees at Glastonbury with people literally dying in their tents and someone on here would say that's it's better than being a bit muddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvoram Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 27c at 10am… Not too bad so far, but you can really feel it building. Managed to get the garden watered. (Yes I will be updating regularly, in this heat I don’t plan on doing much else, so will be super bored 🙈😂) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balti-pie Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 i work on a psych ward, where some rooms have aircon and some don't - and the windows don't open much at all, so its impossible to get fresh air in. Its currently 28.2 in here and its only going to go north of that today . . . its a bloody pain, restraining hot sweaty people! psych patients in hot conditions tend towards two kinds of behavioral patterns - either a hibernative 'might as well have a nap' state, or an active 'i'm hot and hate the world and will punch you all in the face' kind of state. I far prefer the first one 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punksnotdead Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Christ alive - it's 28.5 degrees at 10:30 out the back of my flat where the sun never reaches it. I dread to think what the temperature is out the front, where the sun is blasting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor fuckers.. 😞 There's a little enclosed garden in the middle thats quite airy and nice, i'm encouraging people to get out there for a bit. And very regular drink and ice lolly runs! This time of year always reminds me of a really rare type of deliberate self-harm - people who actively want to be sunburnt - thats really nasty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra challenging for you and your team to stay patient and caring, whilst you’re also subjected to it, but you got this. 💪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 29.5 here so think I’ve got off lightly …. Although the shivers seem to have gone and I’m now sweating so body is now regulating temperature properly I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
