Title: More Heat on the Way.
Post by: Raven on July 13, 2022, 11:22:56 PM
Took this pic off the STV News and not looking forward to it one wee bit. :cry: Thank goodness I got Dageus's coat off when I did. :halo:
Look at the London temp, 37deg, my god that will be horrible.

I don't cope with the heat either, the nicest part is the thunderstorm we usually get after :grin:

can't cope with heat like I used to. 2003, August in Madrid, 43C, wearing a suit for the wedding - no problem. Now, anything over 25C has me suffering

I used to love it, up untill about ten years ago the sun only had to blink and I was out on the lounger. 🌞 I would rush through my work so as I could have a few hours out in it. I had a terrific tan I was so dark skinned I could be taken for a foreigner, then one year I suddenly got heat stroke and ever since I feel ill if it gets too hot.

I'm not a sun worshipper, burn easily, and I hate the heat at night. Next week is going to be a scorcher too.  We're having a bit of a family get together at the weekend (some of my OHs lot from Scotland are holidaying a bit south of here already) at our son and daughter in law's. Praying its not too hot!

Used to have one in my old house, but it had to stay when I left. I have big floor fans in the Living Room and in the Den, and a large table top one in the bedroom on top of a tall chest of drawers, it is angled to blow over the bed. Only ever needed it on the low setting.....So far.

I have a fan in the kitchen, the lounge, the office and the bedroom. Yesterday was the first time none of them were turned on for a week or so, and so far, none needed today.
