The weather

39 degrees about two years ago. Heatwave in Holland. 39 for an entire week as well. Closest I’ve been to hell.

What annoys me is most ISPs charge you a monthly fee if you want an extender etc.
Same goes with TV providers and additional boxes.

Should be an option to buy outright rather than resorting to 3rd party kit which you just know they’ll blame if there’s any issues down the line

48 degrees in Marrakech during a crazy heatwave back in the mid 00s. And then summer in Dubai back in 2019, must have been 45 every single day lol.

Different kind of heat though, aircon when you get back and everywhere you go. Nice breeze around you too.

I love the sun for the nice colour it gives me but the UK sun is stuffy and who the fuck has a proper aircon unit at home to mitigate the heat

I went to Rome/Florence/Venice a few years ago and it was pushing 38-40 degrees pretty much every day.

It’s a real killer on those walking about like a tourist twat kind of holidays, rather than go to the pool bar and get a Pina colada type of holidays. All the museum’s were sweaty as fuck and I was worried they wouldn’t let me into any of the religious stuff in my short shorts so wore trousers on the hottest day too.

41C in Cyprus a few years back. I fell asleep on the beach and literally peeled the same night :tired_face:

42 in Turkey, maybe hotter, had a fry up for lunch and played loads of locals at football. Worst combination in that heat ever. But was funny, had a villa with a pool so chilled out after that.

Heat was so dry, which is something I can deal with. In relation to a super hot day in the UK where everything sticks to you.

Climbing around in the dome in that heat and the smell of Venice would’ve been something as well surely? Ouchh

I spend all day sweltering in my boxy little home office, as soon as it hits 5 and I crack a beer, it starts fucking raining.

British weather mugs us all off even during the summer ffs

I hear that man. At 2pm a few people told me it was raining down their way and it got very cloudy here so I ran into the garden to cover the garden furniture and bring the cushions in.

It never did rain and it’s sunny here but now I can’t be bothered to go set up the garden again. Arghh.

Think 47 degrees in Feb 2009, the day Victoria had the bushfires which probably made the news worldwide.

I’ve loved this past two weeks of wall to wall sunshine personally but won’t someone think of the gingers :joy::joy:

Too many bad memories. I can’t talk about it.

Ibiza in 2016. Go back to the hotel and get showered and dressed for the night and you step outside and are automatically sweating again :joy::joy:

Couldn’t tell you the precise temperature, but the Las Vegas strip in the middle of the day was no joke. Made a resolution after that not to leave the casino between 9am and 5pm for the rest of the holiday.

The whole of the UK isn’t any lower than 20+ degrees

Global Warming isn’t that bad tbf.

Would it really hurt them to throw in a temperature for Dublin, Cork and Galway there…

Looks like Ireland got more of a mention than Wales did there :joy:

If you’re referring to the arrow, stormy cloud and “26” on the north of that island, I have some breaking news from the early 1920s for you.

Being a carpenter and having to work in this weather is worthy of Willian money imo.
