Hot weather? how much longer?

More hot days for me, please. Can't get enough of this freedom to do anything and everything. Struggling to ski but I can happily live with that!

Move to the north east of Scotland. Sunny but not too hot. Long may it continue.

Quite right a precious commodity use it sparingly farmers work all year round need changeable weather for crops and animals. several of our rivers have dried up completely some reservoirs are right down it doesn't take much dry weather to cause a problem .many country have Little or no clean water so lets not forget them.
count your blessings as they say

On Tyneside - rain forecast tomorrow around mid-day. But then return to warm weather.

I love it too but I would love a few days of rain.

Beau .Hope DGS is well protected from the sun. Having spent yesterday on my local beach I was concerned on seeing so many uncovered little bodies playing in the sand.

I love this weather, the joy of being out in the garden from dawn till dusk, of eating outside, wearing light clothing, meeting neighbours usually cowering inside from inclement weather, swimming outside without shivering. What's not to like?!

Loving this weather, Labrador rescue pup outside mostly, damage limitation though she is into creative gardening, no plant is safe! Coco is 7 months and she has only been with us a week and my life has changed infinitely for the better, never thought we could have another after Henry passed in February.

Very little breeze here on the NE coast either today which is unusua, as we tend to get the wind directly off the sea . It’s like a mill pond today though SeaWatcher

I can cope with the hot weather ( up to about 25 degrees) if there is a nice breeze but the recent weather has been, in London, quite overpowering and I find it drains my energy. It's different on holiday when sleeping and eating in an air conditioned hotel, a pool there if needed and not having to travel about on public transport, shop, cook, do housework, etc !

I think your probably spot on trisher . Maybe English schools should start breaking up at the same time as those in Scotland although you probably can’t win .

School hols start soon, weather is bound to change then it always does.

The hot sunny weather will stop when most schools break up, so that’s by Friday 20th or the week after.
If your schools have already finished and it’s still hot, lucky you.

Here in east Essex we have not had rain for 52 days! I'm fed up with watering my plants.( saving every drop from bath/shower/kitchen). Some plants have special memories and I don't want to lose them. A nice evening shower of rain would be lovely to freshen up everything.

I love getting the washing dry so quickly, but I don't have time to sit and roast my skin in the garden, and housework in this heat finishes me off for the rest of the day. Not to mention my poor little pooch who suffers in this heat.

I love it, and not having to mow the lawn saves me 3 hours a week.

You see minerva every cloud has a silver lining!

In my garden in the arid south even the bindweed is dying back?

I agree SHW, low bills are a plus. I gave my monthly water meter reading at the end of June and I'd only used 2 cubic metres. The standing charges are much higher than the water used.

Bring it on. My fuel and water bills have never been so low. I don't need a hot bath just a luke warm shower. No sweaters to wash .Every thing I am wearing is cotton.No need to use my tumble dryer unlike some British summers which have been wet and miserable.Eating more salads.Casseroles are for cold days, breakfasts are porridge free. I will save that for the winter when we will all be moaning how cold and wet it is. Yes my lawns are dried up, tough, but six months ago they were under water.

I guess I'm in the minority as I like warmth but not this 'searing' heat. That's why my holidays are always taken out of season when visiting countries known for their sunny climate.
At the mo I'm brunching on melon, blueberries and M&S strawberries with Greek yogurt and that will see me into late afternoon.
Beds changed, washing on and inside windows cleaned as outside done yesterday. All before 9am and the heat of the day.
As another poster said, rain overnight would be great to keep dust and fumes down and water the gardens and fields.
I can and have got sunburned lying on my bed if I forget to lower the blinds when having an afternoon nap. Crazy sun.
I'm lucky in that Thames Water deliver 12 x 1.5 ltr bottles of Brecon water to me if the flow is low. That's service.
I saw a tip on YouTube about keeping cool. Freeze a (plastic) bottle of water then stand it in front of a fan. It will REALLY cool you down.

We need rain for summer crops and our gardens, bring it on overnight!

Just love it. Lived in Cyprus for three years Aahh, happy memories!

Just so glorious. We've been waiting decades for a proper summer and now I am making the most of it every day.

Love this hot weather and dreading the dark and cold we have in the winter. I’m really hoping it lasts for sons wedding on 28 July but have a feeling it will break when the children break up from school.
