Too hot to sleep.....

[Kate!]

Too hot to sleep. Am downstairs listening to Smooth FM. Eating icecream.

Somewhere across the country a handful off late night tibbers are also online. What you all up to this late?

It's just started thunder and lighting here

Wish it was here. Its far too quiet. Love a good storm.

[LaLaLand]

Watching "The Mighty Redcar" again on BBC Player with the window flung wide open listening to the huge thunder and torrential rain.

Thankfully the storm seems to have broken the heat a bit, definitely a little cooler at least!

[Moniqua]

bye ahm literally here drenching in my own sweat it's DISGUSTING

my fookin sister stole the fan from my room :(

[Marsh.]

Thunder and lightning has started. :flutter:

[Kate!]

Thunder and lightning has started. :flutter:

Yes! Great isn't it. :flutter:

[JerseyWins]

It's been mad rainy (and actually the coolest -or just least hot- its been in like a month) for the past few days over here

[Mystic Mock]

I've mainly just been watching the wildly inconsistent season 6 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

The heat has been atrocious, my poor Cat can't even rest properly because she's feeling so hot.

[LaLaLand]

Storm has passed and it has immediately returned to being as hot as it was earlier. God help me! Melting.

[Moniqua]

[Moniqua]

It's too hot to do ****ing ANYTHING

Every time I wake up after sleeping I'm absolutely boiling

[Elliot]

yeah its horrible. i went out on my bike yesterday and my skin was literally burning. i didn't realise it'd be this hot. it didn't cool down in the night either :( apparently tomorrow is supposed to be the hottest day EVER recorded in Britain, NOT looking forward to it!

no

there is 60% chance that a station in London and the SE (only) will break the record high of 38.5°C recorded in Kent in August 2003

[Strictly Jake]

I managed to sleep thanks to a hell of a lot of gin and tonics before bed but the storm woke me up at 3. Woke up this morning drenched. Yesterday evening I was literally melting it was disgusting. I'm not a summer person I actually hate hot weather

[RileyH]

Omg it was horrendous last night I was laid there for like a solid hour just sweating

[Livia]

I have moaned quite a bit that I can't sleep but the storm didn't wake me last night so maybe I am. Doesn't feel like it though.

[Dogeatdog]

Oh this is not good.

[Kazanne]

Well I slept too well and missed the storm .

[smudgie]

Well I slept too well and missed the storm .

Me too.
Well, when I did wake through the night all I heard was the fan cooling the room down.

Meaning fans don't really help that much on hot weather.

:laugh::laugh:smudgie I think the drone of it sends me to sleep.

I find cool refreshing white wine is ideal to cool one down in a heatwave

[Nicky91]

idk about white wine, but i do know beer is bad to drink that when it's extreme hot weather, at least so i've read

Cold showers are the best LT they refresh the parts beer cant reach :laugh:

Ice cold lager is ideal. A good pint of Stella is the dogs bollocks at the end of a hot day

[caprimint]

No drinks even really help, maybe just for a short time but after you're hot again

Maybe energy drinks are the best (imo), they always hydrate me the most as well and I stop feeling thirsty after I drink them more than anything else

Stacey you need Pimms on a day like today

[Nicky91]

i have fruit drinks ''dubbeldrank'' i prefer apple, peach

but orange, kiwi is also nice

and Mango, Passion fruit is lovely


and for the rest i have lemonades with different flavours, the one you have to fill with water, i like raspberry, strawberry zero sugar, orange the most from those

Get down your local Spar and get 4 cans of Stella and a half bottle of Bells

You'd have a great night on that

Finish off with a kebab at midnight and half an hour on babestation

:amazed:

I sleep better with it on to be honest.
Can’t listen for noises then.:joker:

[smudgie]

If you are at home and really hot, pop your feet in a bowl of cold water.
Does the trick.

[Nicky91]

a advice from me, shower with warm water not cold water

if warm water, it signals your body to cool down

if cold water, it signals your body to warm up

[caprimint]

Omg YES Pimms :clap1:

I'll put it on the list for Friday night :dazzler:

[JerseyWins]

Just flip on the AC :dazzler:

But real talk: I forget, is AC just a rich thing over there or AC just doesn’t exist at all in homes?

[caprimint]

I think it does exist but just in more expensive places/houses, we REALLY need it though if it's just gonna get hotter every year :idc:

They’re not really a thing, since it’s unnecessary, British homes are also built different then other countries, they’re built to keep the heat in for the cold weather.

My 250 year old 3 foot thick wall stone farmhouse had natural Aircon. It never got too hot or too cold

Well the bedroom used to be 40F in the winter but it was lovely in the summer

Whatever day Sumner fell on that year...
