I’m hot and grumpy and everything aches. Roll on winter!

My house has no thermostat and landlord doesn’t care. The walls are cracking and done off the windows don’t close up (you can get a finger out while it’s locked)
It’s an oven in summer and a freezer in winter.
Hardly any openable windows either. At least they can’t take my misting fan away
I like seasons. It should be hot now, and it is.
It should be, sure - but the amount is still abnormal, dangerous, and anthropogenic.
Whatever is happening has nothing to do with either of the four seasons. There should be a name for this fifth thing. Like Inferno or something. Incinerator.
I think the name is heatwave
We don’t really get proper seasons anymore though. It’s just drizzle from November to March, actually nice weather in March and April, followed by searing heat from late May to early October and then back to drizzle again. Winter no longer exists and summer takes up half the year
I mean, I distinctly remember going sledging with the kids 3 or 4 times during the winter, building a snowman, and defrosting my car every morning for many weeks. I also remember my plants not growing as I planted them too early. We definitely still have proper seasons.
Where do you live? I’m in the east and we had basically no snow (none of it settled) and there were only about 2 weeks where I even had to scrape ice off my car
North west / edge of Wales.
Ooh! Ooooh! Me me me! Me! I am dying of death!
At least when you’re cold you can pop another layer on, but when it’s too hot and you took all your clothes off, what’s next? Taking your skin off? Huh? I vote against.
a lukewarm shower. Possibly with a friend, to save water of course!
I’ll ask the cat if she wants to join the fun. She is not enjoying this weather either.
but when it’s too hot and you took all your clothes off, what’s next?

That’s not really effective and they’re sold out too. In spring I looked at a good one but didn’t buy it because I didn’t want to spend so much money. Now of course they’re all sold out. I hope I won’t be that stupid again next year.
Haha, “next year” like this is the last of it. I like your positivity.
They become available again once it gets colder.
If you’re smart you’ll wait till off season when they go on sale and snag one up.
Same here. When looking to buy one during colder weather you look at the price and think: “Nah, that heat wave won’t be so bad…” … and a few months later it IS that bad.
Here it isn’t only that bad, it’s way worse. Holy shit, I’m dying.
Sold out 😒
Nah nah nah we need to start with passive cooling first, where I’m from houses all have proper shutters that keep the heat out in the summer and the warmth in the winter. I just don’t understand why it’s not standard in the UK. Oh wait, that might have to do with your windows that open the wrong way round…
All I want is simple really, a 16° bedroom with a 10.5 tog duvet, all year long. What do you mean it’s not realistic???
Yeah, I’m like cereal.
Store in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight.
My body feels battered. And I hate sweating.
I love the hot weather, it’s relaxing and you can spend more time outside.
Ahahaha, except where I am it’s currently hot while raining and thundering!
Isn’t hot weather for you guys 20 deg C?
Yep, that’s really hot. 20 is shirtless barbecue weather for us.
Yes. So when it hit 35-40 yesterday across a lot of the country, combined with the usual fairly high humidity, it felt like Satans taint.
Is it, and some places are close to 40°C this week so we’re all melting
I’m in Melbourne Australia… Not melting this week
It’s bloody freezing down here!
…but somehow there’s no snow on the alps either.
20C is my preferred top end, anything after that and I start getting uncomfortable. 30C+ and I get increasingly irritable and headachey.
You can always put on more clothes in cold weather. In hot weather, after a certain point, it becomes socially unacceptable to take off more clothes.
Also, bugs.
Yup. Inside is boiling, outside is scorching, and walking for too long anywhere has me dripping with sweat which feels gross AF.
At least in the winter I can put more clothes on. Hard to take clothes off when you’re already down to nothing.
I wouldn’t suggest walking around in the nude.
Currently chillin with 5-10 degree weather here in Australia, but my god last summer was crazy. This summer I hope I survive lol.
Good luck to you in the UK, must be crazy hot in your brick, tripple glazed, zero air con houses
Personally, I prefer it to be hot. I don’t like not being able to escape the heat, but at least it’s light and there are flowers.
However, I don’t like it to be this hot.
I was in Corfu in August a couple of years back. It was 40 deg C which was just painful. But it’s currently worse here because it’s just so fucking humid.
Nah no winter. A very long autumn with mild temperatures please.
Winter kills the ticks though
Edit: oh wait this is a UK forum, please disregard if the UK is somehow blessedly free from America’s scourge of ticks
We have plenty of ticks thank you very much. My partner picks up ticks from walking the dogs about twice a week, I don’t seem to get them very rarely
They carry Lyme disease, and a small number encephalitis
There’s ‘hot’, and ‘way too hot’ but yes
If it helps the nights began to get longer again on the 22nd of June, the day after the longest day of the year! That’s what keeps me going.
You’re right that does give me hope
