    Really, you thought the forum needed yet another thread moaning about the mildly warm weather?

    If only someone could find a link between aircraft safety and warm weather, and combine the two in a thread.

    Indeed. I think it may be Katie Hopkins fault.

    Well I appreciate the weather threads even if nobody else doesn't as they are of huge help to anyone who doesn't have a window they can look out of.

    As someone who suffers from horrific Raynaud's, there's no such thing as it being too hot. More of the same, pretty please.

    Or people who have lost the ability to detect temperature, think of those poor souls.

    So, is the plan for every FM to start a thread specifically about them and how hot they feel?

    Is that the standard of discussion we have reached?

    On a very hot bus yesterday lunch time stuck in road works was not the ideal place to be.

    Only Fatties suffer - too much padding.

    As the majority are overweight now = more people moaning about being too hot.

    Rubbish.

    I know as many people who are thin, who dislike this heat, as I know fatties.

    This summer is a doddle. For those who either weren't alive, or are too young to remember, the summer of 1976 stuffed this year's weather into a cocked hat.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_United_Kingdom_heat_wave

    I remember it well, if only for the time I was serving on a frigate that was undergoing trials at the Portland naval ranges. On one particular day, when the outside temperature was about 35 deg C, the ventilation broke down. 260 men working in a steel container that swiftly became an oven. The cooks in the galley and the engineers in the engine spaces had it worst. They would have been about 10-15 degrees hotter than the rest of the ship, which was suffocatingly hot.

    My attitude to this year....? I rig a hammock in the garden in the shade of the tree, have a cold beer and then a snooze. I'm enjoying the warm weather while it lasts. It will be winter soon enough and then we'll grumble about the rain and cold.

    The British. Never happy, are we..? <wry smile>

    It's quite high up in this part of the country, so we more often than not have a nice breeze.

    It was 28 yesterday and work was unbearable. Also it was so humid last night I was sweating as much as two women doing judo in the Commonwealth Games.

    Absolute nonsense. i am not overweight, and actually i am not suffering except in the sense that i find it unpleasant.

    This is the point I find many people just don't get. There are some of us who just don't enjoy heat and sun. it isn't that we aren't able to cope, there is no medical issue although many do of-course have such problems. But some of us don't and still dislike the heat.

    Well put. Personally I loathe it. Disturbed uncomfortable nights, sweating when trying to use a hairdryer (haha, lots of frizzy bad hair days of late), sweltering when cooking food and you have ovens and hobs going, being sticky and uncomfortable all the time....and I'm not fat either!
    Being bitten by insects and scratching all the time, getting stuck on boiling hot trains, etc.....there's no escape.
    Can't for the life of me understand what's to like about any of it.

    Being in an air conditioned car or the freezer dept of Tesco is about the only time I feel human :o:D

    Sounds good - hoping our temperatures drop rapidly soon too. :)

    It's probably teh Muzlims or Romanians bringing their un-British weather over here and wanting to impose it on the rest of us! Or a conspiracy by the Malaysians. Or benefit claimants hoarding all the rain.

    Lucky you, I'm dreaming of that!

    All I've done today is hop in and out of a cold shower, drip dry and do it again. Have just noticed that my skin is cool, but inside I'm burning, despite sipping iced water.

    I wish someone would come up with ways of cooling people down like a fan for example, it would save having the many threads we're getting on this subject.
