We are in the middle of a warm weather system which is due to get hotter for the next few days. It has not been as hot today as they predicted thankfully although last night l never slept a wink. Despite trying to sleep for three hours in the end l got up & sat in my study where I have aircon.
Tomorrow & Thursday the forecast is currently predicting 38C (100.4F) & even possibly 40C (104F) if we are unlucky.
This morning we went shopping & popped over to our daughter as tomorrow it is my Grand daughters 16th Birthday. It is also her prom night. My wife paid for her dress & I bought her some earrings which hopefully she wil like & will look great on her.
We will hanker down here indoors & try to stay cool.
Here in the UK we are not used to heat as high as this. The last time it was really hot it reached 43C (109 F) where we live!
My comfort zone is around 26C - 28 C.
What is your comfort zone? Do you like it hotter or cooler?

After a week of very warm weather, today's 17°C feels downright frigid.

That is very high!
I have been to England many years back.
Summer highs used to be around 30 C.
English homes were not meant for warmer weather's.
How do you manage without an AC.
It can be very tough!

Yes and many parts of mainland Europe are also suffering due to excessive heat.
Especially France and Spain.

I am lucky I have aircon in my study but the rest of the house was boiling hot. Mind you India can be unbearable hot but it is a completely different type of heat which we are simpply not geared up for.

Last year we had two days at 42C which was hell for us all but this year because it has been like this for a few days it does not get cool. Last night it was 38C indoors. Our temps are usually much more bearable. Our houses re not built to cope with heat.

@garymarsh6 We would find 38C indoors a real trial too.

I think a lot of people will have to go down that route as it does seem to be getting hotter here even if it is just a few days a year. Buses have broken down by over heating, Shop fridges cannot cope as the generators overheat.

@garymarsh6 It's funny how countries have developed to cope with particular situations. None of these are problems here but pray it never goes the other way and our streets become covered in snow! loo

Our weather is often misreported
We had 31C at the weather station in Aboyne

Thank you. I laughed at an American youtuber he has been filming over here & he is dying in the heat. Most places here do not have aircon. He now understands why we Brits are always talking about our weather.

I like about 75 to 82 F with low humidity. We don't get that too often here in VA though. However, on the other hand it rarely breaks 100.

@garymarsh6 I hope so for you all.
We are in the high 20's and low 30's the next few days and then into the high 30's. But that is to be expected during the early part of July.

Certainly I hate the tropical heat of Florida and the high humidity. My main hours are spent in my workroom with the AC to the left and the fan to the right, Then a stand up fan over my bed and the rest of my small apartment is oven like,

@garymarsh6 my opinion being here in Florida is that there are two alternative either we are freezing or we are roasting,

I prefer cooler weather since when the heat outside can cause me to overheat outside just staying in one place for a few minutes.

I always forget that most places there don't have AC. We are supposed to be having a heatwave our way too, but it's not uncommon for us. We usually have heat in the 100s F at least a few times over the summer, and it's always humid heat, which makes it worse. We have to have AC in our homes, or summers would be miserable. Growing up we only had one AC in our house, though and it was in my parents room. My brother and I would camp on their floor because our rooms would get unbearable. We have window units in our house now, and back then, the one in my parents' room was a window unit because they are older homes. We had to makeshift a couple of our windows to fit a window AC because they aren't the standard windows that usually hold them. They make portable ACs for these kinds of windows. We have one, but they don't work very well. Our winters are very cold too, so I don't particularly enjoy those either. We usually freeze in the winter and sweat in the summer. My husband was in Colorado a couple of summers ago, and it got to about 110 there, but he said it was better than 80 degrees here because it was a dry heat. I prefer spring and fall when the weather is between 60 and 75 degrees F. I like mild weather, but we just don't have much of it. This past couple of weeks have been beautiful here with temps staying on the lower side, but next week is supposed to get incredibly hot, and they are looking for people to lose power due to everyone using their ACs.

It is the humidity that is killing. It would help if there was a slight breeze but there has been nothing.

Singapore can be awful not because of the heat but because of the constant humidity. I remember walking around the Arab Area & getting really uncomfortable. We were looking for somewhere to get out of the heat & dived into a Pizza delivery shop. The owner could see we were melting he let us take shelter for 30 minutes while we cooled down with an ice cold coke. What a kind man!

@garymarsh6 Yes, humidity is a deterrent for tourists.
Rains are often but when they stop the humidity is back!
We have many airconditioned super markets and restaurants to take refuge in.
November till March is pleasant during night time.

@garymarsh6 Actually not so. When it’s too hot, I just stay indoors.
