The rain has just brought extra humidity, it seems to have made things worse.

Pub with no Aircon house with no Aircon, I'd go chill in Aldi, but I'd probably get weird looks.

Park yourself in the middle aisle, nobody questions what they find there

I hate everything. I'm sat in front of a fan on full pelt and I'm still sweating the bit out.

I've got sandals on. SANDALS. Does this answer your question?

Had to cut a walk with the dog short earlier, as we were both overheating. Lovely now though (at just gone eleven at night...)

In the office today. The aircon units are dripping all over the desks.

Woke up to grey skies, still very warm but at least not directly sunny, and thought "hey, I can probably go walk into town and collect my parcel without literally dying".

I should probably have checked the small print on the weather forecast where it was at 84% humidity.

Avenge me.

I'm posting this from inside costco right now and even with their AC it's too damn hot

[–] Sausage@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It's so muggy. I'm built for drizzle, not whatever this hot stuff is.

For the past couple of days here it has been much more managable. Currently 18c but quite breezy.

17 degrees and raining. Absolutely loving it!

The storm was so good. Running on 3 hours sleep and woke up to the storm, would have loved to have just made a coffee and have a lazy morning in bed. The WFH lot have got things figured!

Bought a portable AC unit before all this heatwave started, feeling pretty good.

I considered it, but also I'd then feel like I was ultimately just adding to the problem!

I have solar panels on our roof, so I'm using the sun, to defeat the sun >:D
