However, like death and taxes, you can bet your boots that at some point in summer it will hit 40.

Why some people refuse to put a $500 reverse cycle heat / AC pump in their $1 million plus home is beyond me.

Suffer in your jocks, cheap cunts.

Do you soft buggers have cooling in your homes?

In any case it only ever happens over here one day every few years, and it’s just a boredism to scream Armageddon in the UK.

That's what cheap cunts always tell themselves when they can't sleep all through summer.

I have a split cycle AC system here in Melbourne, but I live in an apartment where it's basically a dealbreaker.

36 here, humidity at 80%, like walking into a wall of heat when you step outside. The low during the night is aruond 25 and humidity up to 90%.

Filthy weather.

Think you missed the pertinent point about it only happening one day every few years, not all summer.

London? I worked in Soho a few years. Gets very fucking warm for weeks on end with all those buildings and virtually no green space.

Not many of us have houses/flats that central, let alone own them and be able to install AC...

36 now.

22 and cloudy here in S Somerset.

We had an hour of hot, then it rained and it all went cooler, heavy cloud now.

Bit like the last friday where Heathrow hit 37.8 or so
warm to start and by the aftenoon it was down to 19 and the overnight low was 7c.

About low 20s here on the Lancs coast

Fair enough. We didn't either back then. Lived in a one bedder with Mrs Jdogscoop in Ladbroke Grove. The bedroom was the best bit about it as it was out the rear with a window we just kept open close to the Hammersmith and City Line trains coming out from the city. Generally pretty cool and we got used to the subway rocking up every 10 mins in summer.

I am on the lash tonight - tomorrow with the kids, a hangover and this heat is going to be fun.....

That's no guarantee:

Summer temperatures are exceptionally high for such a northerly area, being far warmer than the tree line threshold. The highest temperature ever recorded in Alaska occurred in Fort Yukon on June 27, 1915, when it reached 100 °F or 37.8 °C.[11][12] This was also the highest temperature recorded north of the Arctic Circle until June 20, 2020, when it was finally exceeded by a 38 °C or 100.4 °F reading at Verkhoyansk[13][14], a location similarly known for its extremely continental climate.

That is distressing. The vacuum of space it is, then.

I just got back from a short bike ride round Richmond Park. It's warm but dry so no problems.

I might have stopped in the pub before returning home.

If I was loaded, I'd live in the Snowfields during Oz Summers.

But, having said that, at least we have AC here.

It's not like AC is expensive though.

People are in 5 million Holland Park homes now sweltering because they won't pay 499 quid for a unit. And the power bill.

I do not get it.

Because it’s only days like today we remember.

Then we forget again.

32oC according to weather station and it's not directly in the sun. House is a cool 22oC as I didn't open any curtains this morning. When I parallel parked the car getting home the stones probably in my tyre treads scraped up some of the road. Got to walk the dog shortly hopefully she'll have a pee quickly. Leaving it as long as possible so we can walk on the shady side of the road.

Why is England so humid?

It's surrounded by water that flows from the tropics.

Lemoentjie wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 4:53 pm Why is England so humid?

Not all of England is that hot, just London and the South East the Midlands and the North more like 22 23, Cornwall and Devon 25ish, its humid here in Wales just south winds pushing up from Spain come midweek it will cool down.
but moaning fuckers who complain about it should be set on fire.

I am not often accused of being comparatively sober, but yes.

It's difficult to describe 'heat' in the UK as for me, its a somewhat unique phenomenon. I lived in the ME for 12+ yrs, returning to the UK only recently. When I lived in Muscat, it was regularly 50c and more, but also, because the city is surrounded by hills and on the coast, the humidity would be 80%ish - a truly horrible combination and cliched as it is, truly "like walking through treacle". Back in the UK though, and this is where I'd need some help from the boffins on here, 30c sometimes feels almost as bad as Muscat (albeit nowhere near as humid) because of the lack of breeze and weirdly intense sunlight - as well as lack of AC. I guess its replicated in many countries globally not known for being hot, but until you've experienced the uncomfortable stickiness of a UK summer, it's not easy to explain. High of 33c today in South Bucks.

The UK is a pretty wet country and we don't often get long periods of hot dry weather so when you get hot days there's a lot of moisture in the air. When we get a few weeks of warm weather then it eventually dries out. The humidity was pretty low in London today so it didn't feel too bad.

Mind you, I spent 6 months in Southern Israel many years ago and that moved my idea of what was hot up by 15 degrees.

You give me somewhere between 15C and 25C and I'm a happy man. But today was just orrid

It's ridiculously humid in the South. Gonna absolutely piss rain sooner than later.

Not fun trying to get to sleep.

Same, though an upper limit of about 20C would be warm enough for me.

Supposed to hit 34 tomorrow in Southampton. I shudder to think what it'll be like around London.

At university in California for a year, no problems with the heat. Came home in summer and I couldn't get past the end of my street for about 10 days, the humidity floored me.
