Sounds good to me. Another six weeks - can’t believe it. :hee:

[montblanc]

eye of the storm is coming :love:

[Smithy]

Hmmm, always take long range forecasting with a pinch of salt, wouldn’t be surprised if we had a couple more weeks of hot weather, but wouldn’t bank on 6

[Glenn.]

Here for the monsoon

[Lostie!]

Autumn better be a bloody ice age to make up for all this heatwave nonsense

[Jordan.]

I don't want anymore more heatwaves, I'm all heatwaved out

[Brillopad]

Autumn better be a bloody ice age to make up for all this heatwave nonsense

How can you not love it - enjoy it while you can I say!

[Jack_]

The Express is the LAST place that should be trusted to provide weather forecasts

Even LT would agree with me on that

[Crimson Dynamo]

there are thunderstorms predicted for the SE this friday

NEVER EVER listen to word the Express say about weather

FACT

[Crimson Dynamo]

[Brillopad]

It originates from the BBC though.

[LukeB]

More rain/cool days less heat waves

[Crimson Dynamo]

I am sure that Sir Cliff is unmoved

[Cherie]

I like hot days, can’t stand being hot at night ...I’ve matched M21 now with windows open everywhere

[Cherie]

Cold cotton sheets and a fan blowing all night is what you need Cherie.:hehe:

[Marsh.]

Cold cotton sheets and a fan blowing all night is what you need Cherie.:hehe:

And a smoking hot husband dabbing you with ice cubes at regular intervals?

[Brillopad]

Tell me about it. Fan all night every night. Couldn’t sleep without it.

They've sensationalised a long range forecast and are derided by most meteorologists, avoid at all costs

:joker::joker: don't be silly Marsh...all that body heat would be too much in the winter never mind in a heatwave.
He has his own bed, and wakes me up with a coffee and breakfast.:lovedup:

Got a fan but it annoys me so end up turning it off :bawling:

[smudgie]

Yeah,remote control as well, turn it up and down without getting out of bed.

[smudgie]

I love the humming of the fan, drowns out all other noises.
Very restful.

[jaxie]

Me too.

One of the best things I ever bought are cold pillows. They are plastic and you keep them in the fridge. At bedtime slip in the pillowcase on top of your pillow. It's bliss I sleep like a baby. If you are feeling really indulgent get one for your feet as well!

[Denver]

Not here for the police to come arrest me when i switch my hose on

[LaLaLand]

I can't deal with heat, I love a good night's sleep in a cool bed! Agh

[Glenn.]

Not here for the police to come arrest me when i switch my hose on

Do it at midnight in the dark

[Josy]

I dont ever listen to the express, releasing weather reports with titles such as 'acid rain' 'thunder snow' and so on was the last straw tbh

Might need to get one of those!

I need to suggest this to Mr C, get your own bed !

[bots]

Dip your hands in a basin of cold water for a couple of mins and that will soon cool you down

[Crimson Dynamo]

heatwave to intensify late next week doon sooth and for Nickster

[Vicky.]

I do think we will get more nice weather though. I just wish it would be broken down a bit, so that instead of it being 25 and stuffy as **** for a week, we get a day or two inbetween it all where its just refreshing. That, or that we get ****ing air and a breeze while the sun is there, but heat in this country is crap because of this.

[Nicky91]

i think we might get a thunderstorm as soon as we get like 3 days of 34/35C in a row, it usually comes after a very hot day


but for me i only dislike the very humid heat, i've also experienced dryer heat and that isn't so bad honestly


but when it's so humid you immediately sweat a lot, which is so uncomfortable

Don't the Express get all their long-range weather forecasts from the Exacta Weather guy or WeatherAction ie. Piers Corbyn (Jeremy Corbyn's brother)?

The thunderstorms prediction comes from the Met Office - so that part of it is pretty reliable.

So far looking positive and correct as far as the continued hot weather is concerned. :laugh:

[jaxie]

I must admit I'm kind of sick of the gnat bites already. Got a gaggle of them on my legs and feet and the itching is driving me crazy. It's well hidden at the moment but at some point I'll find a very fat gnat in my bedroom and bring on his doom. :fist:

[RichardG]

cold wet and miserable in llandudno today

[jaxie]

cold wet and miserable in llandudno today

I need a holiday there.

[Brillopad]

I need a holiday there.

You’ll regret your words when stuck in the middle of one of our usual cold and wet winters. :hee:

[Tom4784]

I am SICK of warm weather! I want storms of biblical proportions that give me an excuse to learn how to swim or die!

[jaxie]

Put them in the fridge a couple of hours before bed. Some of the reviews claim it moves around but I don't find that. I put it in the pillow case on top of the pillow and it's lovely. I keep mine in the fridge when not in use. It does feel less cold as the night goes on but if you have a couple of them you can swap them in the night if you feel you need to. For me it helps me fall asleep and that's much better than laying awake trying to sleep.
