Did you just look at the weather forecast? Aaaaaarrrggghhh!!!! Should I be worried that the UV level symbol on the weather forecast is a tombstone? I think I for one may well be needing one!

I’m very fortunate, I don't have to leave the house and I have an electric fan.

Yesterday the Met Office was saying that the peak temperature on Thursday would be 31°. Now they say 34°.

I heard a potential maximum 37° for my area on Thursday, and we're not even a big awful heat-retaining city like London. I'm already very upset in advance.

Just flown down from Inverness where by its normal standards its been too hot and muggy at about 25C. Flight delayed so for over 3 hours I've been on board a cool air-conditioned plane but will no doubt shortly be walking into a wall of heat.

Same here. I'm so stressed by this weather. Walking out of work today felt like walking into hot soup, & it wasn't as if I was coming out of a very cool office as the air con is pretty useless so I'm too hot all day at work then leave & am even hotter. I really don't know how I'm going to cope on Thursday when it'll be another 4 degrees higher.

I'm just telling myself that it can't make much difference. Once we reach Much Too Hot, a few more degrees is neither here nor there. Searching for hope...

So happy it's only mid twenties where I am and that the weather forecast for Thursday is 23. Good luck everyone dealing with horribly hot weather, hope if you're having thunderstorms tonight they help cool things down.

I am seriously considering doing a rain dance in my back yard tonight in the hope that it will work and just bring a bit of cooler weather for a day or two.

I've just cleared out the garage and filled a skip (getting the house ready to go on the market, so unfortunately it did have to be done this week). I am now going to drink an unfeasible quantity of Vimto.

Still. Fizzy Vimto is an abomination.

Do they still do Dandelion & Burdock in the wastelands of the North? I think there's a blanket ban and hefty fines South of Nottingham

Had a number of Tweets from Theatres in the last few days, if you want to cool down come and watch a show in our air conditioned Theatre.
Would this entice you? or an almost desperate way to sell seats.
The corollary would be more useful to know, couldn’t imagine what it would be like in the Lyric Hammersmith in this heat, it was oppressive a few weeks ago, couldn’t see myself making it through Noises Off If seeing it this week.

The Hackney hipsters lap it up in an ironic fashion of course.

Would this entice you? or an almost desperate way to sell seats. Depends on how it's written, I guess. Personally I was glad I could spend yesterday evening in a cool theatre when I saw Titanic. Of course there was also something amusing about them going on about the icy cold air and water in the North Atlantic and the iceberg with heavily dressed people "shivering" on stage when knowing the real weather outside. Biking home at 11pm, it was still crazy warm. That said, I noticed for the first time how much buildings contribute. As soon as I left the built-up area with tall houses (4-5 storeys) in the city center behind and biked past a larger stretch of park and then the cemetary, it became noticeably cooler in the air.

Would this entice you? or an almost desperate way to sell seats. The problem is the baking heat you have to endure during the journey there. The train with the sun beating through the windows. The stifling airlessness of the Undergound. Walking through the streets with the buildings around you radiating accumulated heat to add to the sun. I'll stay where I am, at home with the curtains closed. It's dark here, and cool.

Are shows ever cancelled because of the heat? Or have they ever been?

My office is the only one is the whole building without air con. I am working on something today which has to be done in there as I’m working from lots of different files in there.
It’s a nightmare!
