UK heatwave - 40 degrees

It is 'only' 31 degrees here today and I am wilting... just turning in to a puddle on my sofa 🥵

It is hitting 40 tomorrow, I have already told work they will not see me in the office until Wednesday.

I am looking forward to trying some of the cool-down tips that I've seen though!

It’s only for 2 days I hope, we don’t have a chance to get used to it
We've been getting highs of 34 and sometimes 35 here. I can't imagine 40.
@Fluffybull It's 32 here right now, headed to 34. Then, 37 on Thursday.
A couple of days, it was 38.

@PhoenixPhail 🥵🥵🥵
@Fluffybull IKR? There's a really pretty place I love to go walking for exercise and to be in nature. But when it gets above 32° or 33°, I stay inside, especially if it's humid. 🥵
I mean it may get to a point of if it involves clothes and outside it's not happening 🤣

Welcome to our June! 😬
Last year we got stuck in a heat dome with 40+ temps. Some areas went up to 50c, but this year it is the coldest Summer anyone can remember, and raining all the time. Naturally we bought an A/C this year, and hardly even turned it on.
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
It's apparently been 28 in Liverpool but I've barely noticed 🤔 gonna be 34-5 tomorrow though..
I've got a standing AC unit you can fill with ice and water so it blowly icey cold air at you 🤤 didn't need it today though, you can get em on amazon for not that much.

its been 40-42 degrees C in Texas all month and will continue into August they are forecasting
helsbels · 26-30, F
@TexChik Is that higher than normal, or pretty standard? Do you notice it as being especially hot or unpleasant?
TexChik · F
@helsbels Its early. Usually that hits in August. Its only miserable around the coast where the humidity is high, and the heat index can get it up to 45 or so. Having lived in this all my life and competed athletically in it , we just endure and take precautions and stay hydrated.
helsbels · 26-30, F
@TexChik wow I was sweating just walking from the bedroom to the kitchen. Could not imagine sport in these conditions 👏
Shytoshow · 56-60, M
is it a dry heat ?
helsbels · 26-30, F
@Shytoshow Thanks, I have read that one. Will also put tamp towels in the freezer to put on me, and have cold water in a tub at my feet
Shytoshow · 56-60, M
@helsbels seems like u got it covered
Shytoshow · 56-60, M
@helsbels indoors A.C. at65 not leaving here😂

31 Degrees C and 40 Degrees C is just good Australian Summer. Wait until it reaches 45 degrees and the roads starts melting and the lizards cook on the ground.

In London and not looking forward to today and tomorrow. Trick I've found for staying cool is soak a t shirt, wring out the excess water and wear until dry.
Amylynne · 26-30, F

I am a fan of classic pinups
helsbels · 26-30, F

@BluntSm0ker Going to have a bowl of cold water for my feet, and damp paper towels put in the freezer for a while and then put on my neck and forehead and... anywhere else that needs it 😅

@mysteryespresso lol. Check, check, and definitely check
jackson55 · M
@helsbels I know you don’t use much AC in the UK, so the only thing to do is wear less and find a pool or fan.
