Heatwave this week - 30 degrees to hit UK

I don't think 30 degrees is really a heatwave.....maybe technically by UK standards because of the lower expected average temperatures. But hitting around 30 degrees is not that much of a heatwave, just make sure you are wearing light, breathable clothing, wear sun cream, drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.

I only start feeling it when it gets over 35+ degrees and walking out and about in the sun.

I think part of it is humidity, we often seem to get thunder storms/high humidity with our hot weather, so it can feel more unpleasant than 35-40c in dry air.

That is true, I really dislike it when its really hot, then it rains briefly and you can feel the moisture in the air

I don't like the "after-rain" smell either. Our weather sucks tbf, but I'd like a warm spell...well brightness is more important, for me greenhouse!

Are you mad? Nothing smells nicer than rain on a hot paving slab. Not petrol fumes nor freshly cut grass.

It's ****ing hot today

That is nothing at all..we live around 34 degrees most of the time

But the nanny state in the UK tells you what to do like you guessed it DRINK WATER (crying out load), like Idiocracy.
