I live in a bungalow. Its mainly glass front and rear so it catches the sun all day. I have worked in a foundry. Its just like that. Too hot. I have been escaping to the beach. Dogs hate the heat too.

Give me a cold crisp winters day.

Has to be said i'm with the summer haters,

It's 35 degrees in our office, the boss is too tight to pay for air con so has generously given us fans that blow work all over the shop! :lmao:

I have exzema that flares up like hell in this weather so i spend most of my time itching.Thanks to the skin i can't use sun tan cream so i have to hide indoors like the phantom of the opera.
Keeping cool is a nightmare.

I prefer a nice winters day, layer up and enjoy the outdoors. Get home and drink hot chocolate while throwing another log on the fire!

Nice one Warthog ,
As each year gets hotter, I get more fed-up than the year before. We're getting temperatures at night that used to be daytime summer ones.
I can't wait for it to break and cool off a lot. That and we need rain to fill our well up.

Look at it another way. If it gets hot here then fewer people will travel abroad by air. That in turn means less polution and greenhouse gases, so less global warming and less hot summers - sorted! An oversimplification I know but it's a thought. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I think the weather is fantastic, but unfortunately I don't cope with heat too well! We grumble when it's hot and we'll grumble when it rains a lot. My tactic is to spend as much time in my little boat as possible, mainly practicing capsise drill!! Aaaah, cold water :lmao:

I think this weather is great, if there is a sunlounger, steady supply of cocktails, a nice view ;) and a pool near by to cool off.
Is a bit too hot for lots of exercise mind you. I admit I do prefer the spring, autumn and winter for bushcraft.

38 C here the other day. 35 C today, I spent today roofing and trying to set up a pump to get water from the lake to the lawn. Just too hot for all that.

When I think that we see some minus 40 C temps every year - too hot in summer - too cold in winter.

Agree. :)

Autumn,winter,spring for me;or this heat in a desert where there is no humidity.

I suppose if we had this regularly we would acclimatise to it.

Mind you moaning about it doesn't make it any cooler. :cool:

Get yourself into the woods or down on a beach (if you can find one not infested with sunbathers).

As for the dogs,get up really early and give them their runabout before the heat of the day builds up.We bought a hard plastic kiddies paddling pool for our two.If they get warm they can dip their pads in it or lie down for a wallow. :D

Apparently the electricity probs in London are in no small part due to industrial air con!

I got a weather station for my b'day in Jan. Since then the temperature outside my back door has fluctuated from -4.8 to +35.8. That's some going for Wiltshire.
