God Its Hot

I know that the English...and ABers...always seem obsessed about he weather but this is stifling.
Already had 2 baths today and might have to have a 3rd before bed. Sitting here in just my boxers with my tilt and turn windows all at the horizontal position and the sweats dripping off me.
Might go sit in the fridge for an hour....
(The ice cubes might do my little problem good as well)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.One of my best purchases (about 15 years ago) was a portable air -con unit. This is only the fourth or fifth season we've used it....it's 32C outside and 21C in here (and humidity is reduced to a comfortable 50%).
And, yes, it uses energy....but so does the heating, and I don't think twice about using that in the winter.

It's the heavy mugginess and strong wind here that's getting to me, Nailit....a strange combination....I don't remember 1976 being as wearing as this....
I have one coolish room and I've spent the day in there knitting and radio listening...don't think I've ever sat so still in the daytime before.....
It's 31 degrees with a thunderstorm predicted.....
A long, loose, floaty cheesecloth dress is the answer, Nailit....and nothing else at all....boxers don't waft a welcoming breeze when you move around..... ;-)

Nailit why have you got your windows wide open letting the hot air outside into your flat? My room is 24c but outside in my garden the temperature was 37c but by keeping the doors closed and blinds half closed I have managed to keep the temperature inside a lot cooler than outside. Advice on BBC and elsewhere is to do this except in the evening when it cools and the air outside becomes cooler than inside, then you open your windows and let the cool air in. Try it tomorrow, probably too late for today now. It works thank goodness because I find this weather almost unbearable.
