Monday brings a heatwave

[Rachey]

Don't you have windows on two sides? Must be like a greenhouse.

Yep, pretty much all the way around the building. And one of them is coated in a black vinyl which radiates heat all day long

 

[big ron]

Not sure going to the gym and attempting leg day in this weather, after athletics related shit sleep and with no breakfast was my GREATEST idea

I am regretting my choices this morning. I can see a siesta on the horizon.

Yes, you and me both. I feel a bit WOOZY!

No wonder everyone in Spain sleeps all day.

 

[octophone]

This is office is like a fucking greenhouse - sweltering. Not good.

 

[Whatevar]

A balmy 29 in Devon

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Good to see no one is losing the plot...

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I just popped to the shop.

It was HOT!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

 

[lolly]

Well that bus ride was something. I was genuinely tempted to take my trousers off.

 

[Soldi]

Good to see no one is losing the plot...

Well it is called SKY News!

 

[Marina Salty]

At 32 now too, officially joining the highs of Osaka and exotic Bristol

 

[Kratz]

Bless them. To be fair, they do some great climate reporting.

It is scorching here in London’s glitterin’ (and meltin’) South Ken

 

[ButterTart]

It's so hot that some old ladies are reported to be wearing as few as three cardigans beneath their coats.

 

[Rita]

Where is hottest? @ButterTart and @Floppet country or @Star @Kate and @Lucille country? YES I KNOW THEY ARE ALL IN THE SAME COUNTRY. FUCKING HUMOUR ME.

 

[floppet]

Up north isn't supposed to be as hot as down south. It is hot here but doesn't feel like death-hot.

 

[Rachey]

I've just come to my mum's to sit in the shade in her garden, the heat actually hits you as you come outside, like when you get off a plane in a hot country. We are that hot country!

 

[octophone]

Apparently it's only 25 here and I was boiling.

I wouldn't cope with some of what's happening elsewhere.

 

[Soldi]

Quite happy to not be back home tomorrow!

 

[Rita]

We are at 30 now and it’s getting rather uncomfortable as I lay beneath a parasol with a sun hat and little else on sipping some SANGRIA.

 

[ButterTart]

Where is hottest? @ButterTart and @Floppet country or @Star @Kate and @Lucille country? YES I KNOW THEY ARE ALL IN THE SAME COUNTRY. FUCKING HUMOUR ME.

It's 33 here; manageable but not quite hellish yet.

 

[Lucille]

We’re up to 36 in London, which is definitely uncomfortable but not unmanageable YET. Ask me again when I’m trying to sleep in 9 hours time.

 

[Madison]

Now 37 here. I’ve made an executive decision to have an extended pub lunch in an air conditioned pub.

The tool at the bottom of this page is good for current temperatures:

UK weather: How to keep cool and carry on in a heatwave

With temperatures set to soar this week, how can the UK keep cool and carry on?

www.bbc.co.uk

 

[GNL]

Torn between heading downstairs to work from home in the air conditioned foyer, and staying in my flat to work from home in my pants.

 

[Madison]

BBC shows 39 in Ely. If true, that would be the UK record broken.

 

[Kate]

I am OK so far with my fan going. Have to try and get to Kentish Town later though. Pray for me

 

[Sheena]

We've just been downgraded to 29 today and tomorrow.

It's QUITE NICE from what I can tell.

 

[GNL]

Those poor eels

 

[Lucille]

HOT TIP. Freeze a cucumber and BUNG IT up your HOLE before bed to cool yourself from WITHIN.

 

[Soldi]

I wonder where they’re getting that from considering no official station seems to be above 35c/36c at the minute.

Is that not in FIFE?

 

[ButterTart]

34 now. I’ve got my feet in the paddling pool and the water is warm.

 

[Rita]

Is that not in FIFE?

Sorry that is ELIE not to be mistaken with @Ellie

 

[Kate]

Ooh I might try one in each hole.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

36 here allegedly.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I melted.

 

[Rita]

When you graduate is one of the options to be a weatherman, or do they not have a qualification?

 

[Madison]

Interesting. Probably some sort of computer modelling shenanigans going on.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This just came up at the start of an iPlayer stream.

Are we getting public health warnings?

 

[big ron]

Can confirm its fucking hot round my way.

Record beaten in Wales.
