UK achieves solar power record as temperatures soar - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;52279319]it was like 13 degrees this morning and i could barely move as my muscles began to give into the cold.[/QUOTE] I remember working with some international students in Uni one day in autumn/winter, one of them was from Australia, while the other was from South China. We were lugging around some equipment outside and it was overcast, but warmer than it had been. I was making small talk and casually mentioned that 'at least it's quite warm today', or something like that, without even really thinking about it. The look of disbelief was intense, as far as they were concerned it had never been warm the entire time they were here. It was amusing at the time but I've since accepted that I will die abroad when faced with actual weather.

[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;52278236]Not to mention England is dry as fuck, unlike some more humid environments. Sleeping last night was terrible.[/QUOTE] unless you've got a rheumatic condition and live next to a main river in which case the humidity WILL MURDER YOU AND FUCK YOUR JOINTS INTO A FINE PASTE AND FILM IT AND SEND THE TAPES TO YOUR MOTHER aaaaaa fuck humidity

[QUOTE=Doozle;52278919]We've had the windows open the past few days at work and there's been fuck all wind so it does nothing. Office is like a greenhouse too, big windows on each side catching the sun all day. I kinda wrote off anything getting done after lunch today[/QUOTE] Thankfully, today's a little windier so I'm chill. Still, while this sunny weather's good for the clean energy economy and people from the city having lunch in the park (which is what I think we call "al fresco"), it's making the start of my shifts quite unpleasant in terms of heat. The extractor fan's firing all cylinders, and it's STILL pretty bloody hot in the kitchen. But not to worry: London's apparently going to get a rainstorm tomorrow afternoon, followed by cloudy conditions for the next couple of days.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;52278087]This heat is horrible. It's that point where it's too hot to do anything. Laugh all you want American's but I'm a pasty British man who's used to clouds 99% of the time.[/QUOTE] have a magnum and calm down

As an Aussie I legitimately found a British sumnee with temps upto 32c way, way hotter and gross than an Aussie summer with temps over 40. Houses just got so insanely hot that there was pretty much no escape from the heat, and oh god the humidity made me want to die. Funny though, I've found Aussie winters way colder than British and US winters due to the way our houses are designed to keep the heat out, makes inside fucking freezing, combined with no central heating. [QUOTE=DogGunn;52281793]32°C is not normal winter temperatures.[/QUOTE] Yep you're right, that'd be a fucked winter for the UK! Got a bit ahead of myself there

32°C is not normal winter temperatures.

every time we use solar power, we drain our sun even more please stop

Anyone else notice we seem to argue about who can better handle the heat every time summer rolls around? Looks to be about that time again. :toot: What do you all do to stay cool without AC at home in the UK? Cheap theaters and swimming like in the US?

[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;52282412] What do you all do to stay cool without AC at home in the UK? Cheap theaters and swimming like in the US?[/QUOTE] Nowt. Languish in a hot, humid stupor waiting for it to blow over. Honestly, it's so short lived I think barely anyone invests in anything remedial. Kind of like when it snows that one day a year and the country grinds to a halt.

[QUOTE=ScriptKitt3h;52278260]Meanwhile here in the American South summer temps get well up into the high 90s (Fahrenheit)- maybe even 100 deg. F on occasion, and [I]always[/I] with high humidity. Brits just need to learn to embrace the suck. :cool:[/QUOTE] This is less impressive when you realise that 90F is only marginally higher than 28C Using freedom units make things sound bigger :qsex101:

[QUOTE=OvB;52278281]Let's not let this turn to bragging about how much of a nightmarish hellscape your town is. That always seems to happen whenever the Brits get a hot day. Yes, we know it's hotter in Ecuador than it is in London.[/QUOTE] Does "Britain is warm right now" have to be news every year it happens? These threads have happened for the past 3 years. Britain's weather is not a news story. [editline]28th May 2017[/editline] That's literally all these threads are when they get posted. It's inverse bragging about how Britain is warm, "[i]nobody[/i] can handle these temps because we're used to clouds", it's all just a huge circlejerk. Just ban these threads entirely. Nobody cares if England is hot, if people live there they can look at Weather.com rather than FP.

[editline]28th May 2017[/editline] Like, wow! You mean you get more solar power when the sun is out, and is also very warm? Stop the fucking presses. You even put "temperatures soar" in the title, so don't try to pretend that posting this thread had nothing to do with the temperature. It's in the title.

It's actually a fairly interesting topic, 24.3% of the country's electric coming from solar. Think where we could be if the tories didn't gut solar subsidies a few years ago. Even the National Grid is hailing it as a start of a new era. It also further solidifies solars place as a serious competitor in the UK energy market. I was hoping we would see some conservative supporters come in and try and justify the cuts to renewable subsidies.

[QUOTE=Cutthecrap;52279024]Y'all pussies Here in this shit province we call buenos aires get at most -5/-7 C in winter and 40 C in summer. We know no stability whatsoever. Political. Economical. Social. Nor climate.[/QUOTE] such is life of us south americans
