I’m grumpy and if one more person says “this is great isn’t it?” I’m going to scream
Not me, I fucking love it.
Summer is happiness and possibilities and blue skies and perfect days. Winter is grim, grey, dark, and cold. Summer is life, winter is death.
I’ve pretty much always felt that way but even more so right now. I’m on just about every single medication the NHS prescribes for high blood pressure and the cocktail of drugs makes me feel cold all the time. Winter is six months of shivering for me, no matter how many layers I put on. This is the first week of the year I haven’t been miserable with cold.
I enjoy it. It improves my mood massively over the constant dark, cooler months. Just throwing on a t-shirt & shorts is a lot more comfortable than throwing on jeans, jumper/hoody etc.
There is a point where it’s too hot though, probably around 25C, although I can tolerate the heat a lot more in countries like Turkey or Spain.
If it’s too warm to wear a coat, I suffer from problems with pocket distribution.
A coat also forms an important layer of psychological armour.
Yes
It’s miserable. I hate hate hot weather. I feel like I’m made of sugar and just melt in even the mildest heat.
I absolutely loathe it. See y’all in 5 months…
I’m literally indoors with the curtains shut, fuck what the neighbours think
Nothing works in my flat or the one before.
All windows open, got a fan blowing with the direction of the breeze.
All windows closed, blinds and curtains closed, close off the warmer rooms.
My thermometer shows no difference day to day in my kitchen area.
I was in the loft in my last flat, sloped ceilings and they had zero insulation. Only the top part of the ceiling where it was flat had insulation. The sloped parts of the ceiling were hot to the touch and it got up to 37.5 Celsius over the one summer.
I put my ear thermometer to my metal keyboard and it read 42 Celsius.
The way the house was positioned, the wind used to blow along it and I only had windows front and back, so zero breeze at all.
Open all windows and as many curtains as you can manage at night with fans going. Then close everything when you get up in the morning. Definitely helps when it’s really hot. Might not get as much benefit in a flat though.
Yeah, tried that and no difference that I noticed.
Top floor flat, full contact with the sun.
No trees around.
My downstairs neighbour is shielded by the building across the road in the afternoon, he is cooler.
I’ve honestly had nightmares like that
I drank so much water but eventually I just stopped sweating.
11pm would roll around, still 35C and when I woke up in the morning it was still about 30C.
I had all my windows open over night.
Everyone likes hot weather. But they have their own limits. I love hot weather. I don’t like feeling like a perpetual melting stick of butter.
No
I’m ok when it’s warm, not hot. I’m not a fan of the baking sun, give me slightly overcast or shady.
