Anyone Else In The UK Hoping For A Storm?

It's so HOT!
I know talking about the weather is a very British characteristic, but right now this is inescapable. I received a text from my water company today asking me to reduce consumption of water - I'm not on a metre, so this must be a round robin - not to use hose pipes or garden sprinklers or jet washers (my invisible car is getting filthy!). Water shortage ahead.

My poor cat doesn't know where to put herself. She wants to cuddle, then realises this makes her, and me, warmer. I've started putting her cat food in the fridge; this is the first time she prefers it cold.

I've been playing youtube videos of pouring rain and storms in an effort to feel cooler.

Apologies to those living in countries affected by floods, but we need a good thunder storm to clear and cool the air.

Anyone good at rain dancing?

In really hot summer weather, I often watch movies/TV shows, etc set in the Antarctic or at least Scandinavia - and find myself shivering.

It is so humid, you could grab the air and wring it out! Forecaster on TV this morning said a few storms later today, but a big change coming within the next three days. I agree with you, I like sunny weather but this is becoming a bit much!

I feel ya.

We had a very hot weather here for the past month. Fortunately it's back to normal now.

I really hate heat. Actually my cats were better off than I was. When it's really hot, like 30 or so, I just have no strength or will to do anything.

It's a very popular topic here too.

Thunder yesterday evening and about a dozen drops of rain pattered onto my back yard area; nothing more than that,and the heat still has not 'broken' yet!

Seems less hot than it was, and is now very clouded over. Maybe a thunder storm is on its way?
