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:

13°C on the bike last night, forgot arm warmers and my elbows nearly turned into ice cubes 😥

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...

And tell the good people about your failed attempt to walk up Mount Olympus on Crete, you ran out of water because it was to hot, maybe you need some testicular fortitude tablets.

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!

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)
