You need something more basic. A 20" box fan. $30.

I don't live in Southern England?

It's really hot in Dubai that doesn't bother me either?

Problem being is what will those landscapes in Southern Spain, Portugal, Greece, etc then look like. Sahara desert? completely unlivable?

By then wars won't be fought over religion, oil or gas.....it'll be water.
Live each day now and enjoy. :tumbleweed:

50's nope did really well, you obviusly did if you think this is hot compared to the med :hehe:

I think you've said before you're struggling losing weight, if so that could be making you feel hotter?

1976 returns as a kid I remembered these warm summers ..

That's when I started going commando ....

When was the last time we had winters in the UK?

It's getting milder and wetter but we don't need the wet in November, we need batches of it during the summer

Our population is getting older and they really suffer in the heat

July 2022 was the third warmest on record.

It is widely predicted that southern Europe will hit 50 degrees in the next few years. Anyone who thinks there is no problem here is living in cloud cuckoo land.

I agree there is a global problem, but I quite like the Summer we are having this year in South Wales it's a cracker like 76 :thumbup:

I'm not going to moan about it because in a few weeks it will rain for months on end!

Which warm summers do you mean?

Here's 1976-1988 in terms of overall summer temperature in Wales with each year's overall ranking (which is between 1-138, going back as far as 1884):

4 1976 15.83
102 1977 13.49
125 1978 13.05
107 1979 13.42
114 1980 13.36
87 1981 13.72
40 1982 14.45
6 1983 15.61
21 1984 14.96
121 1985 13.12
115 1986 13.35
103 1987 13.49
100 1988 13.50

3-4 scorchers in 13 years while 8 of those 13 years were amongst the coolest summers on record.

We haven't had an average summer temperature out of the top 100 since then, while half of the summers since 1988 have been in the top 30 for temperature.

I was saying there is no point in moaning about being hot today, lets be happy and make the most of it!

The Global climate problem is for the Governments of the World to sort out, but no doubt if Truss says we will all have to pay a bit more to reduce climate change, it will be it's alright for the rich shes Tory scum!

Plenty do moan about the heat, though. Some like it, some don't. I hate the heat, always have from as young as I can remember. I was involved in a rehearsal yesterday evening for a youth choir. The building wasn't that hot, no warmer than being outside, yet around half of the kids involved had fans, while 2 or 3 were very uncomfortable in the heat.

I guess I have my revenge in winter, when some are complaining about the cold, I go out in a polo shirt and coat!!

As the World gets hotter mass migration is bound to get worse, people will be moving from Spain to Norway and Iceland!

I can still remember the summer of 1985. It was pathetic. I had to wear a jacket almost every day.

I bet Bryan Adams didn't write a song about that summer!
