[Closed] "It's too hot"

Calm down, have a nice cup of tea 😉

It is a touch warm though isn't it really. We're not geared up for these extended periods of warmth and to continue with our daily regime.

I feel sorry for those on public transport in these conditions.

I love being warm. I don't see why you wouldn't want to be this warm.

The tea thing is relatively credible, though.

I'm driving to the West of Ireland tomorrow. By Friday, I'll be at less than half the temperature it's been in Bristol today. And it'll be ****ing raining. So I'm enjoying this [i]unbearable[/i] heat while I can. With a cider. 🙂

I'm sat drinking a pint of Wye Valley Duece. Much more effective

Dehydrating. Shite for hot days!

I'm off to the pub soon.

It has a swimming pool.

Midlifecrashes, that's the urinal.

But doesn't the caffeine in tea dehydrate too? (a tiny amount I know)

But it IS too hot . . .

I like these temperatures but it's the humidity that gets me.

Been sweating like Dianne Abbot in a maths exam in the machine shop at work today!

approx' 150K? Blimey O_O

But yes, it is too hot.

Can't. Stop. Sweating.

Anything over 18deg is too hot for me, so yes it's too hot.

James I was too hot at work,but then again I was in full kit in a fire so I've an excuse. And thus you are the bulb end 😉

calm down, have a Solero

You've got a hose.... Use it 😛

Ooh that would be a right sauna lol how's tricks mate

I was just reading in the Metro about some councils sending out the gritters to spread granite dust because the tarmac was melting and sticking to car tyres.

So yeah...

Yeah things are improving and are actually looking up. How are you? Good to see you back around. May have to get over my hate/fear of FB messenger and install it to message you

But doesn't the caffeine in tea dehydrate too? (a tiny amount I know)

Yes and No

The hydrating effects of the mainly water in a cup of tea or coffee outweigh the dehydrating effects of the caffeine.

It's not as good v/v as pure water, or isotonic drinks or whatever, but a cup of tea is better than not having a cup of tea.

Not sure where the cut off comes - does ristretto or espresso dehydrate more than the liquid they provide?

appropriated for use in situations where Rolf Harris type comparisons are no longer acceptable.

ie: everywhere.

+1 for yes it is too hot

Lol yeah I'm not keen on it mate either I prefer instagram these days. Glad all well I'm sound mate if a little unfit and unbike fit but I aim to change that from now on.

Been out for an arduous 1hr 45 mins on the bike tonight, I ha e to be honest it was ridiculously hot! That after a day of proper grafting groundworking has seen me consume about 4 litres of water so far today!

I guess its going to be cold tomorrow and possibly too wet as well

Too hot for me.

But then I don't mind when it gets cold and shitty. Keep thinking I should move somewhere further north.

Bit sticky when at work.

Tank Fly Boss Walk Jam Nitty Gritty, ...........it is Jam Hot

So hot riding today i had to have 2 pints

44 degrees in the sun today, a/c expired on drive home wihile stuck in traffic 🙁 oh well there'll be cheap deals to replace that now its nearly July .... not

That's why you didn't reply about free tickets... 6 Nations... Lions.... Drinks and nibbles above the tunnel..

I'm assuming houns isn't working in a suit and tie in a south facing office with no air con then?

Thick fog now in North Devon and the temp has dropped 10C in one hour.
I'm missing it already>

It sounds like it isn't that credible to me?

Article says it only works if all the excess sweat you produce can evaporate, but i'd imagine most people are at their upper limit of sweatiness (esp. if it's 34 degrees) already, even more so if you are wearing clothes because you are in an office.

I'm currently amongst some folks who say "I'm mafted" I think it means hot, but it could be slang for any number of colloquial verbalised chit-chat.

Hmmm Chunky I don't want to download it and login to check and look just in case you're not pulling me leg

I was working all day outdoors cutting hedges and removing tree stumps

Got a trip planned for next week so I'm sitting in the garden with a glass of red, stripping/cleaning the bike in preparation Very pleasant. I'm not complaining 🙂

Not get too many evenings like this

The joys of working from home. 4 showers and I've kom'd the freezer defrosting.

Feel free to send me some 'hot'. I love it, and at 15deg its still borderline arm warmer weather here.

I'm gutted that it's set to cool down tomorrow. Have really enjoyed the mountain biking in the warm sunshine 😀

Really enjoyed the hot... and even more so the absence of strong winds. It is unfortunately back to normal gusty conditions today 🙁

Me too, 2 Xc races in 30 degrees in 3 days. 😯

I don't mind being warm but I don't like sleeping on this heat, all clammy etc.

My 9 month old daughter is struggling in this heat. Like her dad, she's not made for these warm climates being a Cumbrian.

It's too hot. Glad it is cooling down. Don't like it above 20 degrees C.

Nice and hot here, too, max of 35C predicted for tomorrow. Should make Saturday's race fun...

42deg on the airfield at Le Bourget (Paris Airshow) yesterday and 55deg on the shuttle buses to and from the station...some people (men and women) had sweated through their suits, never mind their shirts/blouses.

Some of you need some testicular fortitude tablets

I have worked indoors and out in 40Degree heat - and have climbed mountains in 40 degree heat. Its not too hot at all ever in the UK

Not enjoying daily bicycle commutes in this heat. It's putting me off riding, and all but one or two pairs of my shorts are so worn they get sweat patches on the cheeks 😳

Have been taking it easy on the way home (rarely have time to take it easy on way to work) but still working up a sweat. I seem to sweat at the slightest provacation.

It is too hot when ridiculous uniform requirements come into it.

And 40deg, wow. Come back when you've stripped a purifier in a 65deg room and stopped sweating ten minutes after you went in. 35deg gives you chills. #mywillysbigger

Ah yes the joys of Nomex kit along with gloves etc while trying to strip down & rebuild equipment in a furnace like environment.
Last year I spent my birthday at work being so hot I threw up about 2 litres of water I had drunk in an attempt to keep hydrated at work

climbed mountains in 40 degree heat.

Couldn't have been a very high mountain.

Parhaps it was more of a hill?

I must admit I do have one complaint

All of my towels are like cardboard from drying them on the washing line. Well, I suppose it saves using an exfoliator

matty - 7000 ft?

I'm in northern Italy at the moment, it's mid 30s in the shade by mid afternoon. Thankfully, much cooler at 2500+ m but that means climbing Stelvio in the heat!

Loads of cyclists out here, lots of them really suffering. There's a Stelvio Sportive this weekend, bet it's going to be hell for a lot of them.

You are probably confusing 'can't do something because it is too hot' with 'this would be much nicer if it wasn't as hot' :roll:. Most people seem to have a range of temperature they are most comfortable in. The ones that enjoy the hot weather will often be the ones moaning in winter that it's too cold (when it feels perfect for me).

Would you rather be climbing that mountain covered in sweat with your underwear matted to your undercarriage and your eyes stinging, or with a light chill and breeze in the air making things much more comfortable? I much prefer it pissing down or snowing to the former, but that's just me.

Tjagain you want to try full fire kit and ba in a building fire after carrying a big bloody ladder and running out the hoses in said full kit. It was a tad warm 😉

lovely out on the road bike last night, heat and traffic make for a very smooth and fast road though not so nice when it rains.

Or in my case:

Tj's so hard he could do that naked. Er, that sounds a bit wrong...

It was TOO HOT Tuesday night, cos I couldn't sleep. Down the beach on Weds it was just right. 8)

Tisn't (twasn't; seems to have gone now) too hot, it's too damn HUMID. Like others, I sweat to keep cool. If that sweat doesn't evaporate because the air is already saturated with moisture, it just sits on me uncomfortably and I get hot and grumpy. Temp/humidity much more pleasant today.

Not often I agree with TJ but this is one of those rare times.

It was NOT too hot! Still, back to normal today...

have climbed mountains in 40 degree heat

Hot mountains are dry, which makes that kind of heat much easier to deal with than when it's humind. I was in Utah last summer where it was hotter than this, but was much easier to deal with.

Anyway. You know that day when the records were broken? I was in Scotland riding my bike in torrential rain and 15C. So shut up all of you.

You lucky swine. You managed to time it just right to catch the height of summer!

I love this heat if you are outside and can move about, went to see Stone Roses at Wembley on saturday and going on the packed Tube trains was how i imagine a "boil in the bag" feels, blinkin evil.

Daughter is Type 1 diabetic and her insulin pump is normally changed every 3 days, but twice in this heat the insulin in the pump has started to degrade and stop being effective so had to do a pump change, little things sent to test us!

It so hot in Phoenix Arizona that the street signs are melting.

[quote=v8ninety ]Tisn't (twasn't; seems to have gone now) too hot, it's too damn HUMID.

Exactly. I'm not a great one for heat, but I've raced in 40 degrees in the mountains in Utah and been a lot more comfortable than in the UK humidity (an interesting temperature gradient - we'd been racing overnight and it had been below freezing, was over 30 degrees by 9am)
