BritChickx Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Plenty of suncream and water today, but looking forward to being out in the sun. I don't like sunbathing that much but going for a walk along the beach, might even dip my feet in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Sorry this has gone on the wrong thread, should have gone on findings in chewing the fat, Mods can you do your job please? Personally I don't mind that. It's like being at a party. We're allowed to talk about what we want. I walked out onto my balcony this morning, thought despite the cold and morning, "'was a hot afternoon, last day in June, and the sun was a Demon." and posted that on FB. I was puzzled about the IPAD though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARYROSE02 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Would you rather there were no warnings? Looks to me as though the press are just passing on the information, and nothing to do with "gutter press".If anything happened to you or your "loved ones" you would probably be the first to cry" why weren't we warned". At least now people are aware of what "could" happen. Mike I've noticed that the latest anti Abbott mantra is to condemn him for continually raising the spectre of terrorism in Australia. What will "They" say if there was a terrorist attack then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matter of how an individual copes. To me 38 is about the turning point between being hot and being uncomfortably hot. I think 35 would be uncomfortable in the UK because there are so many people there and not much in the way of air con in cars, houses etc. Not a competition at all- just stating facts. Wonder why people have to have this infernal inferiority complex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 It's a bit cloudy here today. Doesn't look as nice as I thought it would be - don't think I'll bother sitting out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I know. It's such a crock of poop ! The UK will be a little bit warm for 10 minutes in July, recorded at a weather station next door to Sizewell B and its predictions of Armageddon all round :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 You can always tell when a heatwave is coming because The Sun manages to get pics of attractive ladies in the sea pouring water onto their chests from shells as they do at every beach of course :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Don't worry guys, I think I'm going to survive scotlands "heatwave". :xmas30::ssign17: It was supposed to be as hot as thailand.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 32c in my old Home town tomorrow not great working in an inner city office with no aircon but gorgeous at lunchtime to walk to the Docks and have a cheeky white vino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 To be fair Edinburghs got a good forecast and im sure other places have in scotland like up North but I'm not impressed with where I am lol. Glad I didn't bother buying sun tan lotion yesterday. Maybe it'll be better tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johndoe Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 My optimum temperature to work and play is 30-32, I won't even consider jumping in the pool or sea if under 30c. I love the heat and walk in it everyday . It's 21c here today and I walked the dogs in jeans and a thick hoody. Enjoy the heatwave UK folks, the sun just makes everything feel right IMO. Glad @Johndoe is having lovely weather. Thanks chook. Just done Avebury manor the avebury henge and west kennet longbarrow and we walked the full circuit to them all. The boys are burned and yet they've never been burned in Oz :-) Had a lovely day and have just been to sainsburys for some nivea for them (no aloe vera). Of course, I just had to buy yo bottles of chardonnay whilst there so will just be chillin' and nursing the wounded tonight :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder why people have to have this infernal inferiority complex? This is is so funny! We're all boiling hot here due to having to stand shoulder to shoulder with each other and we're all cooking in our cars. It's strange, but not only do we have aircon or climate control in them now, some even have more than four gears and we don't have a man walking in front of us waving flags anymore :laugh: We don't need aircon in our house as it has three feet thick stone walls and high ceilings, so it stays cool in the warm weather. It's a pain to keep warm in winter though - that's when I envy friends who have lovely, modern houses with triple glazing and proper insulation. I'm with you on it's how the individual copes though. I love the heat (Perth's climate is my ideal) and living in the north of England doesn't really suit me at all, but when I mention it to people who love living here, they tell me how much they loathe the heat and much prefer cold weather. It just personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srg73 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 UK has one or two days a year you could call hot, today maybe one of those. A few years ago we went to Delhi in May......mistake! We headed out into surrounding deserts and temperatures hit 55 deg. As this year there were many reports of people dying in the street from the heat etc. I'm fine with temperature, it is humidity which gets me as it drains all energy. Brisbane last/this year has been absolutely fine on the heat/humidity gauge and I'm loving the 20 degrees winter. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
