What’s going on with this weather!?!? It’s almost touching 30c in Guernsey. Way to hot. Going to Herm (small island 3 miles from Guernsey) this afternoon. Mustn’t forget my suncream!
Is everyone in the UK hot to?
harriej said on June 18, 2005 12:26:
Yes! Finally some summer.
I hope it stays like this for some time.
Here it is around 27 degrees today and tomorrow will be more or less the same, maybe one or 2 degrees higher.
For me, temperatures below 20 degrees are cold.
I like it the most when it is inbetween 25 and 30 degrees, like today.
ally77 said on June 18, 2005 16:16:
Yea! we have gone from raining, to blazing sun, in fact it’s too bloody hot... I’d rather keep the rain! lol
ROXIROX1998 said on June 19, 2005 04:38:
Last week ‘till monday this week, here, it was an average of 34 degrees (if it wasn‘t enought, they teasing us with there “humidex factor“ so it was around 40 degrees but tonigh (saturday) it‘s around 10 degrees, go figure...
coyboyusa said on June 19, 2005 14:39:
we just broke out heat wave on the east coast of the usa , was near 100 degrees for an entire week, more important is the question of wheter or not the pacific continental plate is set for a major shift with all the earthquakes happening
ally77 said on June 19, 2005 15:20:
We have rain... yay... real heavy rain, so bad it flooded under the door... send it down the more the better for me... :)

I‘m from Salzburg and we have 28 degrees, i‘m sitting on my balcony in the sun and drink a cold beer, what a nice day.
lonely_girl said on June 19, 2005 18:00:
Not the kind of weather I like when I have to study... *holidayneeded* We also had 30 degrees, two days in a row and it’s gonna continue the whole next week :-/
rox-kuryliw said on June 19, 2005 19:42:
well hit 28 c on temp in garden today , then soon as it rained shot down to 20 c for rest of day , thats the british summer for you , you go to love it lol. garden is still water logged from last week in parts, nice and green though.
ally77 said on June 19, 2005 20:16:
We hit 30’s, too hot for me, nice if you have nothing to do and can just sit in the garden... otherwise...
Vixzter said on June 19, 2005 20:46:
the only thing i dont like about this summer heat is, i haven’t got air con in my room!
the good side is....i can take the roof off my car without fear of rain! and look cool in the process ;)
MiracleMan said on June 20, 2005 02:31:
Hmmm. . . could it be because per is so hot, per is so hot, per is so hot, per is so hot?
ally77 said on June 20, 2005 06:55:
Another sleepless night for me.... just tossing and turning, up and down more times for water than I care to remember.... did I mention I hate hot weather... I hate hot weather... I hate hot weather... I hate hot weather...
pwbbounce (moderator) said on June 20, 2005 07:33:
I actually can’t move today. Got so burnt on my legs can’t walk. And that’s with putting SPF20 on. Guernsey reached 29.8c yesterday, which is very high for over here. It’s so uncomfortable. Didn’t sleep very well yesterday either.
Roll on winter.... LOL But then I suppose we’ll be moaning that it’s too cold. But it’s easier to warm up when it’s cold then it is to cool down when it’s hot...
rox-kuryliw said on June 20, 2005 14:12:
pwbbounce so true, but british weather changes so so fast as we are an island off a huge ocean with a number of different jetstreams firing at us ( i have a huge weather interest) , so were allowed to moan . its the rule. BTW may was below average temp and sun. and july is set to be same as may, so enjoy while you can. i love winter me :-) cos i can only take so much skin off to keen cool, i love sitting infront of a fire in winter all curled up with my doggy . ;-)
ally77 said on June 20, 2005 16:05:
I am not sure what it is here today, but it’s sunny and warm and nice, not too hot... just right... :)
xarrrr said on June 20, 2005 17:41:
we hit 42 today at work.... so hot that the machines in the lab refused to work. haha. no photos today :P
rox-kuryliw said on June 20, 2005 19:06:
was nice and sunny in yorkshire today about 22c just nice summer temp for UK now :-) down from being high thank goodness.
girl7twenty7 said on June 22, 2005 08:39:
Reading all your post about the heat I envy you. It seems summer is everywhere except at us, like it’s totally disappeared. The last week was damn cold (all the time around 20 degrees in the day, isn’t it cold for the middle of June?), rainy and windy :S No sign it will be a lot better till the end of the week *sigh*
girl7twenty7 said on June 22, 2005 12:08:
I wouldn’t mind ;) A bit of heat for me, a bit of cooler weather for you... Any objections? :)
Vixzter said on June 22, 2005 18:39:

ally77 said on June 23, 2005 14:16:
It’s hot today, we just got evacuated and spent 40 minutes outside in the sun, eyeing up the firemen!
rox-kuryliw said on June 23, 2005 15:26:
if any nice ones, you have to take pics of them with your mobile to share lol, i did the other night when police men were outside my house cos someone kicked in the door to my sisters car. ow the shame i should feel lol
pwbbounce (moderator) said on June 23, 2005 16:19:
Dying in Guernsey here! It’s soooo hot again. My arms are so red. I’ve hired a scooter for a few days, and I think I’ve got a mixture or sun and wind burn!
Any pic’s of firemen would be good Ally....
Vixzter said on June 23, 2005 16:49:
my car....OTT??? LOL well thats the first time ive heard it described like that ;)
ally77 said on June 23, 2005 17:18:
@ rox-kuryliw lol, you should see the sexy policeman I am dealing with now on my anti-social behaviour problems and complaints.. got my own dedicated PC plod! men in uniform... ;)
rox-kuryliw said on June 23, 2005 21:28:
lol @ ally ,
Vixzter i was only jessing, although its not your normal look/run of a car ! abit posh isnt it :)
Vixzter said on June 24, 2005 06:13:
next time ure out look around, you’ll see loads of MR2’s ;) only the mk3 isn’t as nice as the mk2 (mine) and the mk1 is a bit boxy cos it was built in the 80’s and that was the trend ;)
looking at the weather forecast now, supposed to rain today and still be 28c, don’t look much like rain to me! ;)
ally77 said on June 24, 2005 16:37:
It rained this morning, stopped... and it just went really dark about an hour ago, but no rain YET!
rox-kuryliw said on June 24, 2005 17:10:

ally77 said on June 30, 2005 06:39:
It’s dull for the past two or three days, but still so hot... ;)
brentnewtown said on July 1, 2005 11:09:
europeans (and others i suppose) have a strange idea of what is hot.
anything below 20 degrees C is cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ally77 said on July 1, 2005 14:13:
It’s been nice here, today it’s warm and sunny but not too hot, this is the kind of weather I like!
rox-kuryliw said on July 1, 2005 14:23:
yes just nice today i agree. about 20c and cloudy with abit of sun.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 1, 2005 15:29:
It’s been raining all day here in Guernsey. Lovely!! But it’s still 20 degress.
ally77 said on July 11, 2005 18:40:

LaMan said on July 11, 2005 20:16:
anyone else having hay-fever? It´s terrible thing to suffer! thats why Im waiting for a fall :O))
pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 11, 2005 20:45:
Never understand why the north of the UK is hotter than the Channel Islands. Glad I’m not up there though! We got to 26 today, but there was absolutly no wind and that made it seem hotter.
I don’t like it. Bring on the winter!!!!
harriej said on July 11, 2005 20:49:
Bring on the summer!!
25 - 30 degrees with sun and windforce 2 or 3, that’s great.
ncurran said on July 11, 2005 23:04:
It was 30 degrees in the east of scotland today, and not a cloud in the sky...almost unheard of. Its supposed to stay sunny and warm all week aswell. We’ve had a really nice summer this year
ally77 said on July 12, 2005 11:51:
I know have you seen it? It’s packed out! oh to be there would be so joyful!
rox-kuryliw said on July 12, 2005 15:40:

ally77 said on July 12, 2005 20:28:
My dog loves some beer.... :)
I want it to go cold, I have prickly heat on my arms and it’s really annoying me now!
rox-kuryliw said on July 12, 2005 22:08:
ally77 i have prickly heat all up front of my legs doc says its cos i eat stuff that makes my skin to sensitive to the sun’s rays ie turmic !
Vixzter said on July 13, 2005 06:28:
laman: yup i give beer to my dog cos she likes it and yup i’m crazy
ally77 said on July 13, 2005 07:02:
@ rox-kuryliw, It’s calmed down now.... but it just flares up if I sit in the sun! :(
pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 16, 2005 12:12:
The revenge of the heat.... Part 89.
It’s so hot today. No wind either. Current temp is 29. Yuk! Going to the beach this afternoon I think. That’ll be nice. Just as soon as I finish work at 1:30!
Vixzter said on July 16, 2005 17:06:
cruelty to animals would be only ever feeding it beer and nothing else so that it walks around drunk all day and eventualy dies.
my dog has the last bits of beer out of the bottle once in a while, hardly cruel, and she enjoys it otherwise she wouldn’t drink it.
ally77 said on July 16, 2005 19:18:
My dog loves a drop of beer.... It’s no different to some parent letting there kid smoke or drink...
zaine said on July 16, 2005 21:43:
i wouldnt say letting the dog drink beer is cruel,
but i wouldn’t say it’s like letting a kid smoke or drink either...
rox-kuryliw said on July 16, 2005 22:40:
LOL, my dog has never had beer just cos i dont drink it, wouldnt thought it was cruel if we like it why cant they ? ?
Vixzter said on July 17, 2005 16:48:
@LaMan: report me to the RSPCA then and we’ll get them to come round and see how ill-treated my dog is cos it drinks some beer.
pwbbounce (moderator) said on November 25, 2005 08:06:
Or lack of any heat at all. I froze my ass off getting to work this morning. No snow yet though.....
pwbbounce (moderator) said on November 25, 2005 08:47:
I lie - It’s just started snowing! Very strange for Guernsey!
jo-anna said on November 25, 2005 09:03:
how unfair, they’ve been saying it’ll snow all week and still nothing!
I’ll have to keep moving north!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on November 25, 2005 09:12:
I’m right in the south in the Channel Islands. But it’s stopped snowing (for now!)
rox-kuryliw said on November 25, 2005 10:24:
Guernsey snow ! has been saying snow all week , Im in north yorkshire next to Pennines and not a flake, Just sunny and VERY cold, not got about 3c for last 2 weeks now :-S people always say that mountain range keeps alot off us :-(
LittleSpooky said on November 25, 2005 16:44:

And probably colder up at the job site come Monday.
ally77 said on November 26, 2005 08:36:
We have not seen any snow here just yet, but it’s really nice and crisp outside, just come back from a 3 mile walk with the dog!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 4, 2006 06:51:
Ha ha,”The Heat” thread from last summer.
It’s too hot here. Supposed to reach 31c again today. I don’t like this weather at all. Had to have a giant fan in my room last night, and put on a really boring film to watch in the hope that it would send me to sleep!! I worked!!! I didn’t wake up until 7:30!
ally77 said on July 4, 2006 08:41:
Ha Ha....
I am suffering with that Prickly Heat again, worse I’ve ever had it.... made my arms bleed **stop bloody scratching....**
It’s now 28c here, suppose to reach 32c again laters....
I was up at 3am, I could not sleep but finally got some hours went back just after 5am!
At least I can chill out a bit today... having my hair cut laters!
rox-kuryliw said on July 4, 2006 10:48:
iv got heat rash all over me :-( on antistamens which make me sleepy :-O
shannyn77 said on July 4, 2006 11:12:
Lol - we get 44 here in summer - im not looking forward to THAT!
ally77 said on July 6, 2006 06:50:
It was hot again last night.....
Found though if you actually leave the bedroom door open it’s stays cooler.... only I didn’t relise this till 3am!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 9, 2006 08:26:
Yeah, it’s a lot cooler here as well, and quite a cool breeze too. Very nice
ally77 said on July 11, 2006 07:04:
I agree.... that’s in pack your summer stuff away, it’s over in the UK! LOL
ncurran said on July 11, 2006 21:33:
Well i am down in ashford (kent) now, and can certainly tell the difference between down here and up in scotland. Been a glorious day today!
felicity-brown said on July 19, 2006 18:10:
Too damned hot ...at least 35 today. I’m melting here! lol
whateveriam said on July 19, 2006 18:21:
’It’s too darn hot, it’s too darn hot...’ Had to show my 13 year old brother the Erasure version of this song on their vids DVD, as it was fairly apt, and I couldn’t stop singing it. Video actually quite surreal, made worse by heat. Am so hot I am walking round spraying myself with a plantspray... not the most pleasant of feelings...
I live near Cambridge and it is about 33 degrees, in the words of the Wicked Witch of the West-’I’m melting, melting...
felicity-brown said on July 24, 2006 10:11:
mm and getting warmer again throughout the week - back up to 34 or so on Wednesday ...or so they say hmm
rox-kuryliw said on July 24, 2006 10:45:
reached 33 in yorkshire which is a new record i read last thursday see if we can match it again ! !
lonely_girl said on July 24, 2006 10:48:
It’s worse than in 2003 and this was called a millenium summer. It’s just not normal to have 33° in the area of the Lake of Constance :-/
pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 24, 2006 14:33:
We reached 30 again today here. Not nice, and it’s gone on for far too long now. Even stayed inside at lunch time so I didn’t have to face the heat!!
Supposed to be warmer here towards mid week as well!!
rox-kuryliw said on July 24, 2006 14:35:
it has been along time now with the heat , normally its a week max? does seem to be getting worse than 2003 and its not august yet :-S
ally77 said on July 24, 2006 14:36:
I think I can forget trying to paint the bathroom in this heat till it cools down!
Galadriel said on July 25, 2006 08:47:
I ordered a rainy august from the weather gods!
Hope they do accept telepathic orders... ;-)
whateveriam said on July 25, 2006 09:35:
I know-I’ve run out of shorts and loose trousers, so its either wear dresses, or wear jeans. I’m going to swelter anyway, so I chose jeans
ally77 said on July 25, 2006 15:48:
Never mow the lawn in this heat.... I just found out grass sticks to you!
rox-kuryliw said on July 25, 2006 15:55:
LOLL grass ! i have straw ! and all the country side around me the grass has all gone yellow its that dry iv never seen it like this before, looks really creepy.
whateveriam said on July 26, 2006 15:04:
I keep getting quick 2 minute bursts of really heavy rain, then denada, so it ain’t doing much good. My sister came back from her walk and said the pavements were steaming. Oo-er. D’you reckon we’re going to have a repeat of 1976?
sandyam said on July 28, 2006 14:16:
We’ve had some rain day today but only a few drops and it’s still hot. Fortunately there’s no sun. It’s cloudy. Anyway, I am sweating like crazy while I am cleaning up my house before I go on holiday. I don’t want to come home after three weeks in a mess but there are many other things that I’d rather do than this at the moment.
By the way, I am going to Hungary at the Balaton lake. Anyone been there or going there?
Anyway, I wish everyone a fantastic holiday!
LittleSpooky said on July 28, 2006 20:51:
Utah (as well as most of the Western United States) has been between 95 - 115F (average in Northern Utah 105 / Southern 110F) this summer
35 - 46C
LittleSpooky said on July 28, 2006 20:55:
And while I’m sympathetic to those who aren’t used to the “high” temperatures in UK / Scotland (I lived there for 2 years on the eastern side of the country), I can’t help but to say:
Move your ass to Utah, where it’s a desert climate (Arizona / New Mexico / Western Texas rivals Utah for climate), and then let’s talk about 30C being hot.
ally77 said on July 30, 2006 19:56:
LS I would just die in that..... I would!
Now according to the weather here in the UK August is gonna be hotter...
whateveriam said on July 30, 2006 22:27:
But its dry, not sticky heat like here. I don’t mind the heat really, its just a bit annoying. I prefer the cold.
nate said on July 31, 2006 03:12:
It’s going to be 35C for the next 3 days in Toronto - MORE HOT HUMID and STICKY weather! I just took my dog for her evening walk and I’m absolutely drenched. I wouldn’t mind it as much if I was up at the cottage on Georgian Bay having a cool drink. :)
LS 35-46C in Utah? Wow, that sounds mighty hot! - We very rarely ever hit 40C. Is it a dry kind of heat - or is it also humid and sticky? Does the working population there generally leave for work earlier in the morning to avoid the extreme heat like I hear they do in Phoenix, Arizona?
ally77 said on July 31, 2006 07:29:
Soon be winter.... roll on the rain and the cold.... I’ll always love winter, nice thick duvets.. and hot water bottles! lol
pwbbounce (moderator) said on September 5, 2006 13:58:
IT’S BACK, AGAIN!!!!! It’s reached 26c here today!!!!! After last week (when it didn’t get above 18-19), it seems very hot again!!!
ally77 said on September 5, 2006 18:25:
We had weeks of rain, and it’s been rather hot here today, hoping it will stay dry tomorrow so I can stain the front door!
ally77 said on September 6, 2006 07:16:
Nope raining here, I should have done the door yesterday.... grrrrrrrrrr I want to put my shiny new numbers on!
pwbbounce (moderator) said on September 6, 2006 07:29:
Well, it’s still warm here, but now it’s overcast. :-((
@Neil -well, you’re in Scotland afterall!! lol :-)
felicity-brown said on September 6, 2006 11:38:
Quite hot here again today. Wish it would snow already! *sweats*
ncurran said on September 6, 2006 19:17:
Was a nice day here today....yes we do get the sunshine in scotland paul :p
But i was stuck inside all day anyway, so i dont care....as long as it is nice at the weekend
whateveriam said on September 7, 2006 22:49:
Yay!
Haven’t seen the sun all day, been writing my script again
ally77 said on September 8, 2006 07:30:
Still sunny here.... I think I might actually do some gardening today!
ncurran said on September 9, 2006 15:54:
yes its beautiful up here today aswell! just in time for the weekend. perfect
ally77 said on September 10, 2006 15:28:
Still nice here, spent most of the morning and afternoon pottering around in the garden tidying it up for the winter....
Rich-UK said on June 18, 2005 11:39:
Aye, we’re just about thawing out from the deep winter up here in Northumberland. Very pleasant indeed... Rich
