Our system is set to only come on for a few hours in the morning and evening if required, we mainly control the temperature by just closing our windows earlier in the morning/afternoon.

No storm here but it is cold and my central heating has stopped working.

I’ve got FH5 doing a 3 hour race on auto-drive in my office to get some heat.

Getting blowy here. The spark who was supposed to come and plumb in wiring so I can run my house off a backup generator still hasn't done his shit. So I'm in fear of more tree falls.

To be fair, I'm more in fear of losing the mobile mast again. If internet goes down I don't get paid. I don't mind being cold, but I hate not getting paid :eek:

We are going to end up with grey 17c days all year round together with torrential rain.

I'm tempted to phone in sick. Looks great :)

Shame it's not going to carry on into next weekend - I've got a boozy pissup weekend planned.

I don't understand why you'd want to do anything in 37 degrees.

Past couple of days has been perfect weather for doing shit, warm, but breeeeeeeeeeezy

Least it is a little bit lower down here by about 5 degrees, although at the hottest part of the day I will be sitting in a hospital ;)

I have hypertension, can't say I ever gave it too much thought when it comes to temperature but then I tend to be fairly inactive during high temperatures since that normally means high UV which when on immunosuppressants increase your risk of skin cancer.

Just make sure you stay hydrated... the heat makes the heart work so much harder trying to cool the body and stresses it... I also have angina and stents, I ought to say ;)

Yeah hopefully everyone will drink enough.

In comparison mine is minor essential hypertension (probably genetic), my dad has hypertension and stents yet still tends to try and bake himself brown even with his paper thin skin and often that not hydration involves something like JD and coke :p

I used to have hypertension but lost about 5 stone and am now "normal" extra sunshine won't make any difference, air temp will, there is no getting out of it, unfortunately.

Being properly hydrated is one of the best things anyone can do for themselves.

I drink lots of water whatever the weather, vaping makes me thirsty (but at least I quit smoking!) but fuck me I hate hot temperatures. I'm going to really struggle.

Lerwick looks a good place to live.

Yes it's beautiful @Scouse but I wouldn't want to be there in this weather. Autumn/winter I'm all over it.

Lots of the beaches around here in North Devon will no doubt be packed with people doing all the things they shouldn't be doing....but there you go.
