I’ve had enough of this heat

The weather this summer just sucks. All I want to do is go fishing and it is so hot here in the East of England. Just fed up now. We have had hardly any rain and it is just depressing.

I know other parts of the world are struggling badly, but I just need to rant.

Same. When the sun is out it is unbearably hot, but thankfully, it's rainy season. From June to Septemberish. It tends to rain mainly at night and early morning which helps to have cool, even cold, nights.

I suggest you don't move to Australia, even though its winter right now we have still gotten some 20+ Celsius days with biblical amounts of rainfall, the fishing has gone to SH!T in both fresh and salt water. The heatwave in Europe is a summer cold shock here. though I also don't know the true meaning of cold (I'm not lucky enough to get under 13C here, I'm in shorts all year)

What’s your AC situation like? It’s non-existent here in the UK.
 
In this summer heat, it's time to go Hot Rockin'.

Here in Mexico we have neither AC or central heating. Right now we open windows and turn on ceiling and floor fans and during winter we just bundle up. If it gets too bad we turn on space heaters. The problem is, the fans don't really change our electric bill, but the space heaters can easily quadruple it even if you only use it for 4 hours for 5 days.

Sounds brutal!

My older brother lives in Mexico!

Sometimes, one gets used to it. I prefer this to AC. AC dries out the air, has an artificial smell I can't quite put my finger on and is horrible for your electric bill and the environment.

I walked into a convenience store recently and as I open the door I get hit with the blast of AC and all I could think was, "Huh... smells like the US."

Nice! Where at?

I know what you mean about AC.

He lives in Reynosa. A bit sketchy but he loves it.

I like it when it's cold at night, so it's easier for me to sleep, but it's been really hot lately.
 
Lucky bastards, we’ve had no days with 25 degrees celsius or more this summer. The most cold and wet summer in my life

In that sense this has been a "normal" summer. Last year I wore a sweater the entire summer, because it was cloudy, raining and cold CONSTANTLY. Winter was unusually warm. Hopefully we have a "normal" winter after our normal summer. Rains got about another month to go, they're already nowhere as intense as in June or July. Here's to hoping.

It’s weird how different the weather is between the continents. It is total opposite for our situations here. Bad summer last year and very hot this year for you. Last summer here was very hot in Scandinavia, with heat waves and many tropical nights. This summer I’ve been sitting on my porch two times and had just one round barbequeing :lol:
 
Hmm, in my country (Lithuania, in the Baltic Sea region), this summer wasn't particularly hot or sunny. There were mostly a few hotter, sunnier days, followed by drizzle, rain, torrential downpours, and the occasional squall. Trees fell down, power was cut, etc. Then we'd get another few hotter, sunnier days, and the cycle would repeat.

But overall, this summer wasn't hot in the sense of some of the summers we've had several years ago.
