    If I slept on the kitchen floor in front of an open freezer door, is there any real downside? Other than my McCains being mash by morning.

    Your fridge freezer compressor wouldn't thank you for it. Plus you'd need to buy a new fridge freezer the next morning. Apart form that, nothing.

    I've probably said it every summer for the last 5 years, but I'm going to look into getting Aircon. It's getting more necessary with every passing summer.

    I bought a portable air con unit a month ago. Only cost £300 and really helps cool down upstairs when teamed up with a fan.

    My brother recently had his house fitted with air con to all primary rooms (bedrooms, kitchen, living room, study). Cost about 5k - 7.5k.

    Can you chuck us a link to the one you got? Wouldn't want to get permanent fitted as hoping to move soon anyway.

    All those portable air cons on Amazon have crap reviews which is putting me off.

    I've thought about buying one the last few heatwaves we've had.

    I looked into portable aircons a while back, and the consensus was the only ones worth getting are the dual hose ones, which are virtually impossible to find in the UK

    Yeah. I'm out. Tomorrow is meant to be the last (but also the worst) day of it though. We had a massive downpour this morning and it just made it worse.

    There's a chance of some thunder late tonight but then it's forecast until Monday with another week or so of rain.

    With nightlife dead, this has basically confirmed I will be retiring to somewhere hot and I'm counting down the days. Imagine living out your days without this sun.

    I was in Kew today and it was thirty-five degrees with no breeze. No wonder Arabs are stupid living in that.

    Question, night-time in this heat...are you lot sleeping in with a duvet? A sheet? Or nothing on top?

    Also neked or pants/boxers? Where's Taz when you need good poll.

    FYI - I can't sleep naked, feel to vulnerable.

    Last night I fell asleep on top of the duvet in boxers only and it's the first time I can remember having done so, waking up exactly like that too.

    Tonight feels hotter if anything.

    This does the job for my room. I bought it during a sleepless night in May but I've been fine since.

    The weather woman tonight said something along the lines of "Tomorrow will be the last of the excessively hot days, but it will be turning more humid".

    More humid? How can it turn more humid? Tomorrow is going to be disgusting.

    Boxers only. Usually like a tshirt too but this is silly season obvs. The duvet's solitary purpose is to act as a cushion between the knees if I go fetal. Been smothered in sudocrem and unable to move for fear of disturbing cuts healing for past week but have to say, sleep hasn't been too bad.

    Also, if you have a hot water bottle and you don't put it in the freezer over summer you're a fool. Ice packs in a pillow case work too.

    Pretty noisy but nowhere near as bad as having to sleep in this heat. I sleep with ear plugs quite often too so it's not a problem for me.

    Had a glorious heavy downpour during the night, which has made this morning rather nice. But give it an hour or 2 and it's going to get 'close'. I'm in London and Reading today, going to be sweaty.

    P.s. Realised I didn't clarify that I'm a boxers man and I need a duvet over me, even if only partially.

    There were flashes of stuff and it did spit a bit here last night but the rain just didn't come. It's like the weather is broken.

    Trousers last night, yeah, with a tshirt. Was fine.

    It’s not that hot. Think my daughters thermostat thingy was showing 28 last night.

    Wife didn’t want the quilt on her so it was almost doubled up on me too.
