Is Everyone Loving the Heat or Struggling

Ask a Question

Just wondering if anyone is struggling with this heat wave and what tips they have to keep cool . I am sleeping with the windows open at the moment but some people can’t do that. Would really like to be a cooler though . 🥵

MrsCraig Yes that happens to me sometimes. My workplace was terrible and I think once you are hot your body takes its time cooling down. Swimming pool in the garden would be nice for the few days we have lol

julie781x it is like the building just traps the heat. I think it is all the windows. There is a swimming pool next to my workplace I should take a quick swim at breaktime to cool down.

julie781x no money for anything it seems these days. Just got to throw open the windows and doors. Occasionally teach the pupils outside as it is actually cooler outside than inside.

julie781x my son insisted on wearing his hoodie home from nursery, it was definitely not needed. I would have been overheating.

julie781x it has cooled down a bit here so isn't too bad but my husband was talking about getting air con, I don't think that is necessary.

I’m loving it, people always moan about the weather.. in spring/ summer I love it when it’s hot. I get to soak it up get vitamin D . You just need a fan on you at night or a cool house. Should cheer everyone up when the suns out but you always get people who still moan..

LL81 It is nice but our houses are not built for the warm weather . I love it when I’m abroad because the houses are cooler when you walk in.

I want to know why we in Glasgow haven't had the sun we were promised. We've just had muggy heat, and since I work in a care home that's 2 times muggy heat, and its disgusting. Can feel the heat the second you walk in the front door, and that's with all the heating turned off😭😭😭

julie781x When I've been in other, hotter countries, for extended periods of time I've noticed that they get on with it better but I think it's cause they all just accept that they are sweaty and a bit smelly whereas in this country we are very self conscious about this.

Love the sun being out but where I work it's horrendous in the summer. Full of glass and no air conditioning. Thank you to the architect that designed it. Same as one of the other schools where I am. New build all glass. Architect didn't think it would need air conditioning even more so as you can't open the windows.

Too hot 🥵 got to 27 degrees here in Leeds! During the day it’s fine and I use spf 🧴 face cream and got a nice 😊 fruity spf body lotion sample used on arms lol 😝

But when it comes to night it’s too humid and on Monday couldn’t sleep 😴🙅🏻‍♀️ well at all! 😠 woke up about an hour later one side of tshirt was damp from sweat lol 😝

Last night was okay but kept drinking so much water 💧 to stay hydrated

Well drank more cups of it and herbal tea 🍵 during the day, I find that if I don’t stay hydrated I get headaches 😭

I used to love the heat when I was younger, but can't cope now.

It's not super duper hot here in SW Wales, but too hot for me.

Windows are wide open, curtains are shut and the fan is on full.

And to top it all, I have family coming up for a BBQ soon
