Not hot and muggy here today, in fact I had a cardigan on this morning and got a bit wet when we had an unexpected shower when out.

I hate the heat and mugginess too. I always feel quite ill when its like this, just wish I could enjoy it as we dont really get it too often. its a wonder our house hasnt lifted as we have so many fans going. Gawd knows what out leckie bill will be. :(I also run my wrists under cold water and find that helps.

There are 4 windows in my attic upper rooms. It's like a sauna up there

The positive thing about having this weather is I have topped up on the Vitamin D :-D
Have been on prescribed Vit D for 3 months now.So I must be full of it :-)
I actually can't stand the humidity .It is getting too much now.I know we shouldn't complain about good weather but this is getting a bit much now .A nice bit of FRESH air would be very welcome :-D Even some rain too.The poor garden is suffering and it takes us so long to have to water everything each night.

Pollen count goes up - and I go down - even worse when we have heat.

Bedroom has curtains/windows shut (we are south/southwest and double aspect as it is referred to now in nearly every room) fan going in one part of room and air cooler in another. Bought a large tower fan, arrived yesterday, otherwise I would not be at PC.

Couple of days ago I asked OH to check garden thermometer - the back is a real hot spot - it had gone off the scale (reaches 120F).

Never liked the heat even when I was younger and did not have any of these problems - I headed for the shade.

One of granny's tips and it works - stick the inside of your wrists under a running cold tap.

I react badly to mossie bites and somehow last evening despite wearing a long sleeved top I was badly bitten on both shoulders at the back and a few other places, itching like mad despite using a good gel that I got in Crete. I hate mossies

If it's too hot too long it puts food prices in the shops up

Amazing, people live their whole lives in hotter climates.
Some thing you have to be born to ?

We were promised a storm
all we got was 3 minutes of rain and two claps of distant thunder

So Disappointing :-( :-( :-(

I wish we had had the storm. We had a lot of thunder this evening but no rain and the air is still really heavy. At the moment I feel as if I am carrying the weight of the sky on my head.

Complaining about the weather is a national hobby isn't it? I'm just glad we don't get the extremes of weather some countries get.

That electric storm we had this morning has cleared the air.
Had been a while since we had it so hot

I don't like it either Shirley, it must be something to do with the blood because everyone in the family seems to be attractive to mosquitoes :-|

Cooler tomorrow hopefully!

I really hate the hot weather, my feet swell and i feel bloated

It's never been a good time for me even as a kiddy i would have lumps and itchy bumps . Mum would say the gnats liked me.

I always had itchy lumps that itched liked crazy, mum would say they were heat bumps but they were gnat bites

Think that they zoned in on me
