HEAT

[silver blaze]

How is everyone coping with this awful heatwave, makes me feel more tired than ever bad enough without the heat

[MyNameIsTerry]

It can be hard going when I wake up. I sleep during the day with my sleep patterns and that means its like an oven as my bedroom window faces the sun on top op a hill! When I wake up I'm baking. Once I get going though I find its just a bit more sticky than usual.

Plenty of drinks I guess!

How hot is it there?do you have high humidity .There is nothing worse trying to sleep when it is hot.Here it is quite cold.

23c where I am currently. 50% humidity.

[blue moon]

Terry,that is cold I thought itas in the 30s,ûp north in Aus it is still àround 28c,and it is winter?I wish I was back there.

[MyNameIsTerry]

Yeah, but I would probably melt if you dropped in your back garden, Petra! :D

Its pretty himid in my area at that temperature but it will get maybe 5-7 degrees higher?

[ricardo]

12 years living in Spain one gets used to this heat but of course there is the siesta in the afternoon.

No fun over here but as long as I have been around we can never deal with extreme weather but it heat,cold,frost or wind. The poor railways have rails buckling today, leaves on them in the autumn or frozen in the winter.

My advise is keep drinking plenty of water especially those of us on meds that give us very dry throats.

[Rennie1989]

27 degrees and 49% humidity in Kent (20 miles inland).

The problem with this heat is that the more your fuss and wriggle about it the hotter you'll get. It's about mitigation. Get the windows open, close curtains and blinds where the sun shines through, turn electronic off, move as much as you have to and take it easy. There is no chance that I am going outside today.

[blue moon]

Maybe they should have siesta here in Aus,Ricardo.

Terry I have no back garden here,we are living în The hospital grounds and all the plants are dead from heat or frost.We hope to move into a house soon.

[gregcool]

33 hear in heartfordshire

[MyNameIsTerry]

They expect it to hit 32 today in my region. It's on 26 now, 3 up so its looking like its heading that way.

[gregcool]

Hot hot hot....just steped out of my flat,and there is a breeze thats blowing hot air at you,and in the sun without the breeze,its roasting..and its only 11 am

[Sunflower2]

Feeling hot today and I'm struggling with 20! Don't know how you can cope down in England!!

[MyNameIsTerry]

We say that about you when one flake of snow hits the ground down here! :D

[gregcool]

Panic stations when the snow falls hear,schools shut ,roads close,motorways come to a stand still..

[blue moon]

What time is it there Terry?ît is 8.50 pm here and watching the tennis they said it was very warm.

Global Warming.

[MyNameIsTerry]

It's 11:50am here, Petra.

[Libra]

28c at moment in Midlands, though I think the met office is going to be right about a storm breaking out as sky is going funny colour.

[Sunflower2]

Very true, I drive through snow without much thought about it! :D we just get on with it up here generally! The heat, now that's what goes for us...

[MyNameIsTerry]

I thought I heard some rumbling, it might have been the dustbin lorry though :D

It feels like thunder weather and I'm in the Midlands.

Yeah, look at the snow they deal with in the US and things are still running.

Ah, I feel cooler now for hearing about snow! :D

[Rennie1989]

32 degrees here now, but humidity has dropped to 40%.

I've stopped doing housework now, I've already burnt myself doing the ironing :doh:

[xBettyBoopx]

Hot hot hot here in sunny Suffolk. There's a breeze but its a hot one. This weather always gets to my breathing. I shouldn't moan really:blush:

[gregcool]

Completly clouded over hear in heartfordshire...the sun was roasting this morning,but now its all cloud,very humid....i miss the sun

[sial72]

Apparentely it's gonna rain here 2moro, bet it doesn't:mad:

Spare a thought for the tennis players, it is over 40 degrees at Wimbledon :lac::lac::lac:

[Rennie1989]

35 degrees.... 39% humidity. Gaaaaaaah!

[ricardo]

38 degrees here and the hottest day ever around the corner at Wimbledon with temperatures over 40.:ohmy:

[pulisa]

Apparently a ballboy has collapsed on an outside court. Poor boy-it's merciless out there.

Tomorrow will be cooler apparently

[Davit]

I'm not that far away from Alaska and it is just as hot here, but not the humidity. Yesterday it rained but today you can't tell.

Heat I can work around, but mozzies are another storey.

[MyNameIsTerry]

Well, its been a steamer.

Now I'm on 17 degrees with 82% humidity. Its due to reach 25 degrees at 70% humidity later. The thunder is just starting to rumble.

So, its going to be a sticky one today!

Heather Watson (UK) takes on Serena Williams today, oh dear...:whistles:

[Sunflower2]

We had crazy thunder and lightning last night :ohmy: and it's be even hotter today than yesterday here!

[MyNameIsTerry]

The wind must have blown it down here pretty quickly then!

[xBettyBoopx]

It's a hot one here again today though not as hot as yesterday. It was supposed to rain but there's not a trickle to be seen:ohmy:

Come on Murray and Heather Watson......you can do it.......anyone for strawberries and cream?:D:D:D

[Davit]

Is this normal weather for you, It gets hotter and drier here every year. 33 today.

[newme]

It's been hot and humid here for the last few days with lightning/thunder and rain day before yesterday. It Reminds me of the way the weather was years ago. It was a welcome change.

[xBettyBoopx]

We are not really used to heat here in UK. I think a lot of anxiety sufferers feel worse in the heat and humidity which is why it's being talked about.:noangel: We dont have particularly cold winters either so we shouldnt moan:blush::blush:

[MyNameIsTerry]

Its a bit cooler today :yesyes:

Its quite nice actually. 13 degrees with 89% humidity. Its due to go up to 26 degrees with 51% humidity though. At least there is some wind.

[Davit]

Going to be 27 tomorrow and stay around there the next week.

[newme]

Hi Davit..Yes..As you know me from another site and that I live in a drought ridden state in the u.s. It is getting hotter and dryer where I live. We are in a extreme drought and have been give written notice to cut back on our water usage. We are allowed to water our yards and plants twice a week for 10 minutes a watering station. The days to water are based on your house number address. Mine is odd numbered so for me that is Thursdays and Sundays before 10 am or after 4 pm. I have not been able to grow vegatables this year and am focused on keeping my trees and drought resistant plants alive this year. Not sure if I will be able to keep the lawn alive though but I am still enjoying the flowers.

[Davit]

That is much worse than here. I run my sprinklers two hours and my garden hose for flowers and green houses an hour and a half usually. But I'm pumping out of the pond and well. It is my own water.

[newme]

Davit. My state is a mass producer of my kinds of produce that feeds many here and elsewhere. The farmers are now pumping ground water out of the aquafer to water their crops. Many have lost their almond trees to the drought. It takes a lot of water to grow just one almond on a tree. So we are now doing our part to conserve water here for all of us so that we will have water to drink, cook and bath with. We are hoping we pull out of this drought and get some consistant rain soon like Texas did. Minus the flooding of course. It's good to hear that you are able to continue growing your own produce which I know is a big part of your life and who you are. Keep doing what you love my friend.

[feelthelove]

Its cooling down here on the north east coast but it has been 28+ over the past few days . I sleep with the fan on so it hasn't been too bad and i do have a 12 foot pool which was like heaven to cool down in .

[rsanchez]

Hi guys,

So it's very hot here and the family decided to go to a theme park. I was already nervous about it because previously I had spent not 10 minutes in similar heat before I felt sick. Well 10 minutes in I started feeling really sick.

I'm now in an indoors area here at the park feeling really sick. I have either a knot in my stomach or really bad butterflies, feel palpitations, and feel very tired.

I am so scared, and I'm hanging out here letting my family have fun.

[Davit]

Can you put cold wet paper towels on your neck in back and sides where the veins are the heaviest.

[rsanchez]

Making do with wet paper towels, can't get a cold towel at the moment.

[Davit]

Panicgurl told me a storey about going to the store and forgetting she had a towel on her neck, anxiety can do that to you. :-)

[rsanchez]

It's now 10:30pm and I still have that knot in my stomach feeling.

I've been checked by my doctor and everything, but I still have so much trouble believing this is just anxiety.

[GingerFish]

We had it OK here in Scotland. Was still roasting though! I can't deal with any heat whatsoever. Never have! My friend from Liverpool was up in Scotland during the heatwave so we were always out and about so the heat really knocked the stuffing out of me because we were walways on the go. I ended up getting a migraine yesterday and I'm thinking that could have been from all the light and heat I experienced over the last 3 days.

[rsanchez]

Went out in the heat again today, just a few minutes and already feeling nauseous. It's either anxiety or I'm very sick, and I don't feel very sick.
