Level 2 health warnings issues as Britain is set for a heatwave (32c) - Polidicks

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;45408489]I believe you call them modular-homes, or trailer homes. [t]http://juara.biz/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/beach-house-model-two-story-home-yelp-52665.jpg[/t] One of these bad boys. Completely insulated, air conditioned, and as stated before, can be put down on a nice 0,8 acres of land.[/QUOTE] One of those plus land would cost around £50,000 here and then you've got to think about plumbing etc. Very few banks would give you the money to do that.

I preferred it when it rained all sumer and everyone got their tits out as soon as it was 18 degrees

I have AC and a fan in my area in my work. Thing is limited to 19C though :'(

Thank god my contract expired a couple of weeks ago, I can just die in the comfort of my own home.

We just had 25°-27°c weather in denmark and i bstarted sweating even when i was just sitting still at my pc, it was nearly impossible to sleep at night but now that it's 20 and below everything is just alot more comfortable.

great, it's gonna get even worse. And I have to go to school in a fucking suit

[QUOTE=Complifused;45408553]Oh right so just a shed/house thing. Mobile homes are glorified caravans over here[/QUOTE] More often than not, they look something more like this. [t]http://juara.biz/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/trailer-house-62525.jpg[/t]

Lol really? only 32? Meanwhile in Australia, 49c heatwaves

[QUOTE=Re1nhardt;45408698]Lol really? only 32? Meanwhile in Australia, 59c heatwaves[/QUOTE] Did you not read the first page of this thread? :v:

The weekly thread when Americans let us know how much more uncomfortable their weather is. I'm wearing shorts and it's nice, there was lightning earlier, pretty rare.

Fuck this. I have to wear a suit and a gown tomorrow for graduation, and now my crevices are going to stink like a public lavatory within about half an hour.

[QUOTE=Chopstick;45408538]Btw guys how do you cope with the heat again? I've got a bodged a/c unit which consists of a desk fan blowing air through a frozen towel at my face but if that doesn't work I might just only wear the frozen towel for the weekend. Also there's probably going to be a thunderstorm - is it worth leaving the windows open to let that push some air through the house or not?[/QUOTE] If you intend to cool down a single room that you are in all day what I do is open one window and then put a fan sticking out of it so it blows the hot air out. I know it sounds a bit dumb, but from my experience it creates a good airflow in the room and keeps it nice and cool.

Up here in western washington it is getting up to 90 fairly often, and a few weeks back it got up to 100. Air conditioning is great, also blowing cold air in during the night and sealing off the outside during the day. It must be fucking hot in eastern washington.

[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;45408681]Was it humid too or dry?[/QUOTE] really humid, when it gets too these max temperatures in northern europe. it was over 30c some places actually [url]http://www.dmi.dk/nyheder/arkiv/nyheder-2014/07/to-i-en-varmeste-dag-og-tropedoegn/[/url]

Here's a trick I do in my old apartment at night when the outside is cooled down but inside is still hot [url]http://lifehacker.com/5313401/hang-a-damp-towel-to-cool-a-hot-house[/url] Helps get it cooled down for sleeping.

I dislike it when it gets much more than around 20C. Heck I'd rather have -20 than +20. There was a very short period here where it was just above 30C and that was pretty fucking annoying

I was playing ArmA at 3 in the morning on Saturday, window wide open, in my shorts and I was sweating my balls off. It was only 16 Celsius outside

[QUOTE=Re1nhardt;45408698]Lol really? only 32? Meanwhile in Australia, 49c heatwaves[/QUOTE] I hope a fire dingo eats your baby.

I hate Vermont. Summer it can get to 100F with death humidity and in Winter... don't get me started I sort of want to live somewhere where the weather is less extreme on both ends

I'm going to Japan next month and it's around 35-40... i'm going to die

Euggh this weather. I move stock upstairs in the shop I work in and I struggle to breath up there, no AC and windows, feels like a sauna.

Why don't the British have any A/C again?

It get's to 45 degrees celsius around my house on sunlight. Although I can understand why British people are dying over 32 c, I've been to Wells, Somerset. Fucking wind and rain 24/7. [editline]16th July 2014[/editline] Also thank god in Granada theres not much humidity

[QUOTE=Nukefuzz;45409196]Why don't the British have any A/C again?[/QUOTE] because in the UK we get summer for about a week

There's nothing I hate more than hot weather. Give me 5-10C and rain please.

[QUOTE=Nukefuzz;45409196]Why don't the British have any A/C again?[/QUOTE] Because no one in scandinavia or britain usually needs it, we usually get a bit hot for a week or less, which doesn't really make it worth it.

[QUOTE=Cuon Alpinus;45408236]You guys are shitting your pants over the equivalent of about 90 Fahrenheit? Pretty much the entire USA south of the Mason-Dixon line is laughing at you.[/QUOTE] Yeah and we laugh at them the moment it gets to 10 degrees C. The thing is, people are used to different standard temperatures. If your standard summer temperature is 25C you'll react a lot worse to a temp that's seven degrees higher compared to someone who has 35 as standard. [QUOTE=Nukefuzz;45409196]Why don't the British have any A/C again?[/QUOTE] Because people in temperate weather generally need good energy efficient heating as opposed to an A/C (which while sometimes having a heating option, has massive running costs during that)

I cant tell whats worse, dry and hot, or humid and hot. I think humid and hot is worse, I hate fucking stickyness. Over here in Utah it's dry and I think we hit 100 (40C I think) one day but im not sure, but at least I didn't fucking feel sticky like I do in the east. I can't function when I feel sticky like that.
