More User Perspectives
It’s not humid
@Handlethetruth666Drink cold water
Avoid wearing jumpers and coats
More info on Wales would be nice.
@annephillips8494Why are the met office apps now under doing this hot spell. It was saying something different for London
@Ilhan-l6eAbsolutely love this weather! Hope it keeps getting hotter. We put up with miserable weather for nine months of the year so those moaning should top up on their vitamin D while they can
@Collioure232IAM nice and cool.mad dogs and English men mid day sun exact.
@MyJohnredThe 'bring it on, it can't be hot enough for me', lot have gone quiet.
@lovegarbageThis Andy fella better give us state-provided AC at this point because the alternative is rebuilding all our houses, it’s going to get hotter year on year, we need to take action now
@Baked_BorkaWater your paths and brickwork
@Rick-xp5syI watched the England game in a packed bar with no air con..... I asked for ice cubes in my beer 😂
@jameswelsh2621Don't worry business as usual from the big corporations... Keep buying, keep flying, keep driving to the local shops to get your vape etc etc.
Keep using AI to ask mundane questions. Get those data centres sucking up precious resources.
Horrible sticky weather here in the west. Your calm, empathic tone is welcome, Alex.
@altair8598I'm loving the weather 😊
@johnderby8269Royal Mail will still have post men milling about
@apes4days254Super for those who sell ventilators!
And we still have July, August and may be even September ahead!
I urgently bought ice-silk cooling clothes from Temu!!!
My windows remain closed with curtains during the day!
Green tea, och yes!
STAY COOL ALL and share your cooling ideas!
TOGETHER WE WILL SURVIVE ALL HEATS!💗👍💗💥💗
I love it , long may it last ❤

@carolinegraystone9308Holdtite the ginger crew i hope u survive 😂
@jayjay199oLoving❤️ the UK weather ☀️ perfect
@InfoukhealthcareVisaIt's 33C in Hertfordshire at 2pm and not set to rise. its not the 37-38C i thought it would be. 2 years ago it hit 39C in Hertfordshire and it felt hotter.
@019208237It just dawned on me earlier that it's only June - I really hope July and August don't get hotter than this, it's causing a lot of suffering.
@AjDAngelesSat under a tree eating KFC.,..
@Porkpie_uk22c here in Inverbervie and coping just fine! ;-) I jest but usually when the rest of the country has "normal" sunny days in June and temps around 20c we get about 9c!
@vengermanu9375This whether is so horrific so bad so hot not even a chocolate ice-cream can survive in this heat I hope I can sleep in rhis heat when I go bed tonight 🤣🤣🤣
@MyFavouriteChannel566absolutely loving it
@garyriley5146Thank you, Alex
@christineemmawp88Deeply unpleasant weather. Barely slept last night to the point where a colleague actually woke me up whilst I was asleep at my desk because the temperature in here is so much better. Last night our bedroom got to just over 32 degrees and it is going to take a good couple of days of much reduced temperatures to have an effect on the thermal mass that is our house (10" thick solid concrete walls). Seriously looing into AC for the bedroom, just not going to be happy with the energy bill from having one.
@Almightyrastus"ENJOY IT! IT'LL SOON BE WINTER"! Many of us don't! And don't tease us with the beautiful coolness of Winter! "It's not hot". Ha! If you're not in the Midlands, South England or South Wales, it probably isn't! It's being cooked alive here! 🥵😓
@guppywibble3752Keep windows doors shut, curtains closed and drop the loft hatch to let heat rise
@NeetOneOKIt's more than just comfortable off the west coast of Scotland. It was 15°C mid-morning, feels almost chilly with the cloud.
@Ed.RWhen I walked out of Sainsburys today 😂 (it's lovely & cool in there) ❄ it felt like when you walk out of a aeroplane in a hot country in Summer 😂 (I was thinking about UK to Sicily one Summer) I hate it though(anything over 28c'ish & i hate it) especially living in a City 🔥 😢
@Carl-GIce cream man was in a right state this afternoon, sweat dripping into my 99 with flake and raspberry sauce
@R_J_SMITH1Will winds make it hotter or cooler?
Tomorrow around me the winds will be 23km/h and I keep seeing people wanting wind and people dreading it
I can't cope with this extreme heat
@annetteshawunstoppableyou5281Its all fine because Sharon, 56, said that it was like this in 1976 which invalidates the irrefutable evidence that our planet is dying, nothing to worry about!
@phalanx9005you should not be using the word comfortable/uncomfortable 🙄
@mikemcghee2906Loving it.
Just cracked another San Miguel out the ice bucket 👍
If records went back 500 million years ago when there were 50% higher temps....
@CharleyFryEnjoy it while you can, it'll be cold and raining again soon enough
@UKAviationMoviesYou could fry bacon and eggs outside,73degs inside house this afternoon south fife it's 🔥🔥 ...Aiden
@BrianHudson-n9yIn the U.K., it used to be that hitting 30c was a ‘wow!’ But, over the last 10yrs, 30c is so common that the wow moment seems to have risen to 35c. The extreme is more extreme and, it is happening more often.
@imconfused1237We had a tropical night last night (north Worcestershire) - minimum temperature was 21.4C. Yesterday's average dew point of 20.0C was 1.5C higher than any previous in my 18 years of records. As I type it's just under 32C at 1.30pm. Going to be another very hot and clammy one.
@davewalters6246why always this gloom an doom? this is a lovely summer and we should be encouraged to enjoy in while it is here.
@PETERROBINSON-zr5bgLovely weather, everyone pays to go abroad for this weather.
Let’s enjoy it whilst we can 😊
I moved to the UK nearly 30 years ago from a warm climate. I never, ever, ever, thought that I'd suffer heatwaves in this country. Absolutely ridiculous.
