I had honestly missed this after a year and a half of middling temperatures in the UK
Very middling at the moment btw.

Just checked Met Office – you weren’t pulling my leg. The added cloudiness with no end in sight really clinches it. I’ll stick to my sunny 36 degrees, thank you very much.

36? sheesh - you can have it

34C in Yakutsk on Sunday

I thought Chicago was a motherfucker for throwing uncomfortably hot summers at you after brutal winters but sheesh Yakutsk takes the cake. That's just not fair.

the "plus" side is that it's now dark enough outside for me to think that we might get a storm worthy of the usa midwest, which are apocalyptic. it feels sick.

People who love hot weather and are like ISN’T THIS GREAT, especially when the weather is only going to get even hotter and eventually kill us all, are the worst. No questions at this time.

Maybe you need to have experienced -40°C to truly know the joys of sweltering.

I lived in south Texas for four years, there were no joys in sweltering at 40C+. one of the many reasons I came here was to avoid usa midwestern summer heat, but as gyac notes there is no escape from global warming. gonna make granitas now.

I think experiencing a week of Winnipeg in February made me a pro-summer radical forever tbh

Québec City in early January is the worst I’ve experienced but I hear Winnipeg is on another level altogether, so: respect.

I don't mind the heat so long as it's dry. Been 109F/42C here past few days and I'm just like pffft is that all ya got, Sun?? But one day recently it was 90ish and just humid enough for me to feel it (weather app said 36%) and I hated life.

WTF why can't we just have one week of 22-24 degrees, sunshine, and no miserable pissy rain.That's all I ask for.

it's dropped to a more manageable 25 degrees here and dark storm clouds are on the horizon, that's more like it

i just made gazpacho. currently in the freezer until the second before it freezes. i will know when that is just by..... knowing

Heat has dropped six degrees in less than an hour, that’s a storm on the way, right?

Windows open front and back because the resulting breeze is the only way this is bearable. Flat now smells of next door's BBQ.

I can take bbq smells, but the smell of weed from the wanker next door penetrating every room in the house is enough to turn me into a cold-blooded murderer.

Bought this air purifier (Pure Enrichment Pure Zone 3-in-1 Air Purifier, if the Amazon link doesn't work) two years ago and have gotten amazing results.

I don't think it would help with how powerful and pungent the aroma of weed is these days, when he is smoking it at the back of his house he might as well be sat in my kitchen. I am just going to wear the bastard down through attrition and noise, because he started a war with the wrong person here!
