If not stay inside and put your fan on full. Factor 50 is for pussies, it's all about the carrot oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 25 minutes ago, DCJonah said: For me it's not just being uncomfortable. It's the worry about what the future holds. So the idea of its just like going on holiday does piss me off a bit. We should be worried that days like today will be considered mild in the future. I 100% agree its ok people burying their heads in the sand but the fact is its not just breaking records its smashing them by at least 2 degrees which is massive. So what if people have been in hotter places, I have too, but this is not a hot country and we're not equipped for these type of temperatures and people with health conditions find it difficult to cope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Last night I woke up thinking it was blowing a gale outside. I then realised I kept the fan on. I think the heat has fried my brain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just won't diminish the valid concerns by telling people they should deal with it because its like going on holiday. Well said. I suspect it's more a sort of "boys whistling in the dark" downplaying than any unkind sense of wanting to dismiss others' concerns. To me it comes across as fear, dressed up as bravado. "Just enjoy the heat" is just the latest version of "Masks are for wimps" "It's just a flesh wound" "Screw the hurricane—we've got beer" etc etc ad nauseam ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 We're in a heat wave in Maine this week with highs of 90F all week and really humid. I'm right on the coast so there will be some reprieve here. Nothing like what you're experiencing, but it's still a bit if a furnace blast, especially for this area. But climate change projections have Maine as a relatively stable area over the coming decades. I expect an influx of climate refugees over that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can't enjoy the heat, bet your a joy to go out an party with. This comment is up thete with calling people woke, It's completely the opposite, which don't make it right. So what if people what to live for the day it's wrong, we have to worry about the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 3 star in Magaluf with the tiled floor, whitewashed walls, roof designed to dissipate heat, sea breeze and swimming pool to jump in occasionally before another half hour of lounging around? Yes I've been to those kind of hotels (but not in Magaluf as I can't imagine a place I'd less like to travel to) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who's been on holiday where its hot should be able to handle a couple of days of hot weather. No one ever been 3 star to any of the balerics,? It's hard if your grafting in a factory, working without air con, but other than that, it's 2 days of extreme temperatures enjoy it. Pal, I caught a bus this morning and had basically taken a shower in my own sweat by the time I got to work. "Enjoy it" - **** off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for a sea breeze pool? More like a sun trap pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
