Alright refugees!

I reckon we need to have a threat to chat. About stuff. With reddit 'closing' for the next few days in some cases, and foreseeable in others, I felt like this thread was appropriate.

What are you all up to today? Anything interesting going on? I already know it's too hot.

It was actually pleasant this morning cycling to work, then I walked outside 15 minutes ago for lunch and it felt like the sun was trying kill me and the air trying to suffocate me.

Really thinking about investing in one of those ~£300 air conditioning units for home next year, as summers seem to keep getting worse, anyone tried those?

I'm not keen on the idea, air conditioning makes it feel even hotter when you go outside - and who wants to sit around inside on a hot day?

Me if it's air conditioned

I absolutely want to sit inside on a hot day if there's air conditioning, because going outside is miserable!

I can't stand this sort of heat/humidity, the last 2 weeks were absolutely lovely though, give us more of that.

would agree, also air conditioning is part of the problem that keeps making every summer hotter. People in hotter countries don't use ac all the time, just drink cold drinks, keep the house shady with wind blowing through, etc.
