I'm not putting the blinds up until midday when the sun has moved round. I'm still cooking mind.
The over night temperatures tonight....
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.
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.
We'll be melting to death in 30 years.
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.
£12 Lidl fan does the job, you fannies.
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
That was brutal. Having a west facing bedroom can fuck right off.
This heat really can fuck off now.
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.
We’re due a thunderstorm for about 6 weeks now.
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.
So fucking hot again.
The forecast where I live also keeps teasing rain and has been wrong every.single.day. for ages now.
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.
I beat the system by laying awake for most of the night.
Born winner mate.
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.
How noisy is it?
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.
If you have a hot water bottle you're a pensioner.
Only wastemen dismiss the hot water bottle (never thought of using it as a cold one though, levels).
Storm has well and truly started here. One hell of a light show.
If I sleep tonight it will be a minor miracle.
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.
I haven’t changed my sleeping routine so it’s pyjamas and proper duvet and i wake up sweaty and happy.
I'm a twit
Flooding galore in Aberdeen.
Luckily, I’m not there right now.
Despite the downpour tonight is going to be even hotter.
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.
