Heatwave

[AugustaHibs]

Anyone else struggling with the weather today?

We should think ourselves lucky that it’s not snowing however, imagine shovelling snow in this heat.

[Allant1981]

Im loving the weather, kids in the paddling pool, wife and i sat on the recycling seats, happy days

Out by the bins at work it's over 40degrees

Absolutely love this weather, gutted I am working!

The temperatures in southern England are a bit too extreme for me though.

[Lendo]

I’ve got a 15km run planned post-work. Genuinely not sure if I should.

[CyberSauzee]

Currently on train back to London. You can feel it got significantly warmer when we got to the 'red zone'. Train going a bit slower now so delay repay coming my way.

[Scouse Hibee]

Currently sitting at home in front of a fan, not looking forward to going to work and spending all night in front of the fryer but will cope.

[overdrive]

Just me or does it not actually feel as hot as it is meant to be? I had my lunch outside and it was comfortable and certainly didn’t feel as hot as last weekend.

[Hiber-nation]

Choked with the cold which is a weird and pretty horrible feeling in this weather ☹️

[Jay]

Loving it. I know it's such a scottish maw thing to say but I've had 3 loads of washing dried on the line and put away so far . Between loads I'm sitting in the sun enjoying the peace and quiet. It did get a bit hot there had 20 mins inside.

You genuinely shouldn't.

It's currently 34° here in North Yorkshire and I've cancelled my golf game.

It's crazy hot now, but tomorrow is forecast to reach 40°!

[Hibbyradge]

Hot in Portugal?

I'm sure it is.

We’re on the beach up at St Andrews.

There are worse places to be in this heat.

The water is lovely and warm and the wee one is loving it.

[Pretty Boy]

Office is ****ing roasting.

I went out a run this morning and it was pleasant but it's just too hot now.

This would be ideal if I was in shorts next to a pool with a beer to hand. I'm in an office with full length glass windows and normal clothes though so it's not.

I love the sun but 40 degrees in London must be unbearable. We just aren't set up for this in the UK (albeit it's probably something we are going to have to get used to and get set up for in the coming decade).

Lying on the grass under a large beech tree in the botanics, it’s 29 degrees and I’m enjoying a Cornetto Classico. Doesn’t get much better than this :cool: I’ll be in the south of France on Saturday where it’s 10 degrees hotter than this which I’m now slightly concerned about.

Just hit 30 degrees in Leith, first time I've ever seen it that high

Used to hate working in a chippy in summer time, I worked in a wee shop in Leith about 25 years ago, I was trapped between the range, the kebab machine and the pizza oven, I could wring my whites out at the end of every night!

I am lucky today, my office is cool compared to outside, 23º inside with the aid of a big ass fan!

[Scorrie]

Absolutely baking here in Liverpool. The red alert boundary is only 5 miles down the road but there’s a wee coastal breeze here which helps.

[Berwickhibby]

It was over 38c today in England, but only 29c in Scotland :rolleyes: This is why we need independence as England must be stealing some of the sun destined for Scotland.

Almost a foot of sun up here in Portmahomack :greengrin

Think it's been about 23 this afternoon, tomorrow is meant to be a little bit warmer but nowhere near what Edinburgh is getting.
Nice house on the harbour, beach just the other side of the road and pub is about 50 yards max and a fridge full of beer. 26037

[David_D]

I was out with the bairn earlier and we managed just 25 mins before we had to go home. Was just way too hot.

[brianmc]

I've been sat in a car most of the day - with no working air con 💀
Not so bad when you're driving, having the windows open probably knocks 20°C off the temperature.

Checked the in car temp after being parked up at home for an hour as I had lunch and it was 62°C (30°C outside)😩

Not a great working environment!

I wouldn't, unless you can postpone it until late in the evening. There are plenty of other days to run. At the same time, that's me being a hypocrite because it's exactly the sort of thing I used to do. One 12-miler on an extremely hot, sunny day saw me suffering with heat exhaustion towards the end of the run. Struggled back and wolfed down some ice cream which I'd been craving due to dehydration. Later on that evening I felt nauseous and dizzy, very unpleasant.

It reached 38C in the shade here today. I worked inside and outside in a shady spot at home. It was a lot easier-going inside. Forecast tomorrow is 40C (feeling like 42C).

[tamig]

Just me or does it not actually feel as hot as it is meant to be? I had my lunch outside and it was comfortable and certainly didn’t feel as hot as last weekend.

It got hotter as the day went on. 32C driving along York Place about 5:45. Pretty hot.

[The_Exile]

I pretty much hate temperature extremes, too cold and too hot just make me miserable. Went out earlier for a quick errand and the heat hit me like when you step off a plane in the middle of a Spanish summer or something, it was oppresive. Luckily my flat is on the north west corner of the building on the ground floor so it doesn't get the sun and takes a while to heat up. it's been a steady 23/24 degrees all day and with fans on etc it's been fine indoors.

The best way to keep cool in the heat I've found is to soak a towel in the bath with the cold tap, wring it out and chuck it in the freezer for half an hour then drape it over the back of a fan. It definitely fires much cooler air than usual for a good hour until you need to repeat. With places starting off tomorrow around 10 degrees warmer than today, I would be astonished if 40 degrees isn't smashed tomorrow on the south east coast of England. I can't even begin to imagine how that would feel tying to go about your day-to-day life in that heat in an infrastructure built to retain heat, it'll be utterly miserable. Looking at the forecast for tonight down south it looks as though a lot of places won't dip below the mid 20's!!

Cold water bottles in your bed. 2L pepsi max/coke type of thing filled with cold water. Under the covers keeps the bed cooler and you can stick your feet on one when needed . Been doing it for a few years , swear by it.

[Skol]

I’ve got a 15km run planned post-work. Genuinely not sure if I should.

I ran 7 miles home from work and it was a nice run. Hot, yes but I’ve run in worse on holiday.

[Pretty Boy]

I’ve got a 15km run planned post-work. Genuinely not sure if I should.

I think it depends on what you are used to running in.

I ran 80K+ in a 12 hour fixed time event in July 2019 when it hit 25 degrees or so between 11 and 5. I was dehydrated and tired by the end (obviously) but I had trained in hotter in the preceding weeks running in Spain and France so I was confident I would be ok.

I had miles to run today but got out early doors to avoid the worst of the heat. If it's possible wait until 9 or 10 tonight once the sun has gone down and take it easy.

[HendoDelivered]

Love the weather. I’m a roofer and we got sent home today at midday because it was “too hot to work.” Suited me fine as I lay in the garden for a few hours then done the same down Porty beach. Holiday tan is well and truly topped back up! :greengrin


Wish we got this kind of heat/sun more often.

I’m quite enjoying it but it did start to feel a bit hot after being out in it for an hour or two.

Feel sorry for my dog though. He’s not been out at all today other than to do his businesses and he won’t be out tomorrow either unless it’s cool enough when I’m up at 7am. He’s even finding it hot in the house where it’s 26 and I can’t really get the temp down.

Seen loads of folk swanning about with their dogs when the temp hit 31 earlier with the dogs quite visibly struggling. Irresponsible ****ing ********s.

Seen something online saying this is the hottest day since 1975.

It's only 26 degrees here but if it goes over 30, then I'll batten down the hatches and switch the air conditioning timer on for an hour until we're asleep. Nice breeze coming in from the sea so it shouldn't be necessary.

Perfect.

37.3 Celsius in Surrey at 11am, it's a matter of when not if the temp record gets smashed today. It'll be 40 something around 1pm somewhere in the South East I'd imagine. That's insane.

Today was brutal. Worse than yesterday because it was that humid, draining heat.

I walked to work just after 6 and it was quite pleasant then. By 2pm it was almost unbearable in the office. I walked home as well (and forgot to pick up my water bottle) and I was ****ed by the time I got home. Just went out to run some hill reps just now and it's still horrible and heavy. Has that feel you get just before thunder and lightning hits town.

The same here, sat in front of a fan all evening, thinking it's getting more comfortable, then you move away from the fan and it's like someone left the central heating on for three months. The heat is just not dispersing from the house despite all efforts.

The 40.3C was recorded in Coningsby in Lincolnshire, (it's quite near New York!) Thank god it will be a mere 26C here tomorrow...

Two fantastic days for business 😀it seems like half of Edinburgh decided not to cook for themselves. It was pretty hot in the shop but survived taking in plenty of water.

In the past two days I've eaten a bowl of Weetabix, a cheese sandwich and a couple of apples. No appetite.

To be honest that’s how I predicted many people would be,it certainly didn’t seem to be the case though.

[Allant1981]

I must be one of the few who actually enjoyed the heat the last few days, the office got a bit sticky yesterday but nothing major, got home and the kids were out in the garden playing, had a decent sleep as well

[Hibrandenburg]

Estimated 1000 people have died due to the extreme heatwave and many people have lost their homes due to wildfires. Can't help but think this is only the beginning and we in Northern Europe will have to adapt to another new normal.

[Hibby Bairn]

David Icke predicted it all 🙃

[DaveF]

Back to normal. Light sweat top on this morning while working.

[neil7908]

I love the heat so quite happy in principle to see it hitting the 30s. But scary that this is going to be become increasingly normal in Scotland, and the impact it will have is going to be terrifying.

[Paulie Walnuts]

My house has been 29 degrees for the last day, can’t get the temperature down at all but it’s much cooler today so it’ll hopefully start to drop soon.

Went to get a caramel wafer from the cupboard last night and it was melted and a tub of coconut oil has went from solid to complete liquid. Had the Lurpak out the fridge earlier for about 10 mins and it was starting to get a bit wet.

Mental.

[silverhibee]

Apart from the last two days it has been a pretty crap summer so far.

[makaveli1875]

Baltic today , had to dig out the hat and scarf

[Baader]

Hit 40 down here in SE London yesterday. Last time I experienced heat like that I was in a desert. There really isnt a lot you can do when it gets that high. Forest fires nearby which is just crazy.

[Tambo]

Much better today all though was still hot for my body but fingers crossed that's it now for this summer.

Looks not to bad for Sunday for the game with High's of 21c with some light rain.

I really don’t like Macron politically, but this is the kind of initiative that an inward looking Britannia really isn’t capable of at the moment. React to events and shape the coming world.

It doesn't do anything to address or slow the cause though.

[HH81]

My house was 30oC all day today. Up to 37 yesterday.

Starting to fall now. Window wide open and down to 26oC.

Just about to put the hibs game on the TV. Not great sat in a room in this heat.

[Hibernia&Alba]

So much better today :aok:

Another heatwave is predicted for end of July and start of August with High's of 35 for the 31st of July 😔

Thunderstorms between now and then too.

Edinburgh is 18 degrees for 31 July according to the BBC weather site.

[Colr]

I benefitted from having an old masonry house when it was heating up as it stayed 10 degrees below the outside. It’s taking an age to cool down now.

Thermal inertia!

Where did you see that ? Is it for Edinburgh or where ?

[stu in nottingham]

Staff in my local in the city were taking it in turns to spend time in the caves under the pub which serve as cellars, as in numerous Nottingham pubs. Nice ambient temperature of around 11C down there!

This is the second storey down. Some pubs have three storeys of caves.

Was an article from the express but says only really south east and London will get these heats and Scotland will be much cooler.

Doesn’t say that in the weather forecast.

It is the express, though. They run a “worst winter since ‘63” article every November!

They also say Brexit’s going briliantly.

Well a stopped clock will be correct twice a day... doesn't apply to the Brexit comment though

The least reliable publication ANYWHERE for weather projections.

I'd trust most folk on here ahead of The Express. They predict 'SNOW ARMAGGEDON TO HIT UK!' type headlines every year and are never correct. Nothing in the latest Met models to suggest another heatwave like we've just experienced.

[Hibrandenburg]

Thunder, lightning and rain hammering down on the caravan and awning with the hot humid air being replaced by a cool draught. Heaven!!!

[Hibbyradge]

17° forecast for here tomorrow.

I've got a wear a jacket and tie so I'm very pleased.

[Tambo]

Getting hot again today and will continue this week.

A few outlets now publishing it could hit 40 sometime this month.

We hit 40C in the previous heatwave which was pretty sapping.

The mercury is rising again this week, 28C now and rising to 34C for several days later this week. Starting to feel 'normal' now.

Yes 34c is the highest forcast for where I am which will be Saturday but like last time I think it will rise a little each day.

[Tambo]

That's the sun been out in my location for a preview of another hot heatwave? I really hope we dont hit the 40s again.

The highest it's been for me so far is 29 and I seen it's also been nice in Edinburgh also.

I've just done 2 journeys, Perthshire to Yorkshire then Yorkshire to Devon, both on predominantly motorway, and I'm knackered! Sun beating down and the aircon can't cope. Stuck in traffic at penrith on Wednesday then around Manchester (accident on the A66 at penrith meant a change of route. Today was traffic around Birmingham and Bristol. Return journey I'm seriously considering avoiding motorways.

I have a 500 mile or so round trip split between Sunday late evening and Monday early afternoon. Glad I have the chance to do at least half in the cooler part of the day and with less traffic. The weather has been horrendous for someone like me who hates the heat. We better get used to it though as it will get worse decade on decade

M6 toll. :aok:

M6 toll. :aok:

Not sure if that was where I was. M1 past Sheffield then towards Birmingham, East Side, M42?, before hitting the M5.

[Moulin Yarns]

Heatwave coming to an end, at least in Devon, thunder been rumbling for an hour and the rain is falling, at last!

[pollution]

Thunder and lightning over the Lammermuirs, heading north. Get rid of this humidity I hope.

[Jones28]

RAIN. GLORIOUS RAIN.

Bring on the flash flooding.

[Bridge hibs]

[gbhibby]

You just can't please some people on here moan when the summer is rubbish moan when it's too hot then go on holiday to Torremolinos and check the weather back home then moan that we wasted 2 grand on a holiday cause the weather is warmer back home. Pray for rain to cool things down then moan when it rains for days saying well that's the summer over then complain that we had a rotten summer and hark back to the old days and tell you that you remember being able to fry an egg on the tarmac because it was so hot. Then tell you that was when we had proper summers.😁
And we couldn't get Watneys Red Barrel anywhere
