Its going to be another hot summer

It was so pretty out yesterday that when I got home I was able to go on a walk with my bf wearing SHORT SLEEVES! WOO HOO!!!

we are getting 8 inches!

I know you've been working hard
and you've got exams and that,
but if you've got some spare time,
it'd be smashing if you could come and stay round mine...
and maybe we could break into our old school
and spend ages just lying on the tennis courts
listening to the Boards of Canada...
Jeez, look at the time!

This has been the longest winter EVAH.

I'm not sure that I want it. Then again, my landlords are buying me an air conditioner! Yay!

Does this mean all that Internet spam is true?????

"And look forward to a nice warm high in the mid-50s tomorrow..."

And it's funny 'cause, if this was LA, they'd be all like "brrrr, where's my coat?".

Clearly worth every penny!

What Will The Feel Good Anthem of the Summer be this year?

And it warns of blocked patterns. So look out for that.

hope its not going to be a summer of hate...

people who p[lay bob marley far too loud

Ice coffee is my favorite thing about summer. I was just thinking about drinking it today.

i would have used long otherwise (for me, its summer march-september regardless of temperature)

This weekend was pretty fucking awesome. We're overdue a good summer, haven't had one for four years. Although last year's wasn't that bad.

I slept with the balcony doors open! Love having what is basically an extra room when the weather is like this.

2003 didn't get this warm so early

loving the hell out of this - not just baking in the daytime but being able to be outside at night and be warm as well!

think i need to invest in a mosquito net or something, it's that thing of wanting to have your bedroom window wide open at night but not necessarily to have it full of light-seeking insectile things.

this isn't early to get warm, wintry cold has been a lot more tenacious this year than usually

Yeah come on we've just had the coldest British winter in 30 years!

2003 was the best summer I can remember in London, it seemed to be consistently warm for about three months. 2006 was pretty wonderful as well. 07 and 08 can eat a bag of dicks.

I started cutting back my garden at the weekend, and then my housemate brought his stoner friend round, who was immediately all "can I have a go?" He then didn't stop for about an hour. Garden now looks amazing. Stoner labour = awesome.

Where in London can I buy reasonably priced DECKCHAIRS? It has become necessary.

Lex! Come into town!

My big project for today is making enough ice to fill a freezer drawer so clearly I need distractions, as it is too warm in the day to make the cream cheese brownies my local coffee place would like me to start making for them.

MDC, try Argos and work your way up if they can't furnish one you'd be happy to own. Robert Dyas sometimes have them on seasonal offer.

today is forecast 30C in london which is fairly unusual in may, 2003 was the last year temperatures got near this

cream cheese?

may well do suzy - got some work to polish off before it gets too hot to think, will bell you in a bit if it goes well

Awesome, a day of flaneurie is just what the doc ordered.

Nakh, it's like this. Despite the raging heat on Saturday, they were INHALED by my taste-testers:

that marbling pattern does look rly nice

shall mostly be living off frozen yoghurt and strawberry smoothies i think, maybe some cold jersey potatoes too

potato salad is such a great summer food. also, i find cucumbers totally cooling - literally cutting off a quarter of it and munching it as though it were a chocolate bar.

30 in May, oof. But iirc the last two years were all glorious/way too hot (delete to taste) this time of year, prompting declarations of how roasting the summer was going to be, and then come June it went grey and pissed it down for 3 months. Waiting to see if it makes it 3 years in a row and declare it the new climate-changed pattern if it does.

It's pretty nice weather to look at and be indoors in but this is too hot for me really, and yes I do know most countries get it way hotter, but still. Gingers were not built for hot weather. Had a thumping headache almost every day for the past week.

Cheers for that link, nakhchivan. Having a bit of geeky work-avoidance looking at historical weather data now.

being able to be outside at night and be warm as well

^^ This is what has been unavailable in London the last four years. I forgot what it was like. In New York you get like three solid months of HOT NIGHTS.

life's a beach on the west coast

I hate hot nights.

Trade?

Ok, I got... a broken xbox, a bag full of high end beauty products, a video camera with no battery.

i r warm rly warm

I am in an office where the air does not move and I feel like my head has tied itself in a large and very tight knot right between my eyes

this is weather for sitting in the shade, in a breeze, somewhere where you can see the outside, holding a long, ice-cold alcoholic drink

office kind of failing me on all counts except "shade" and it doesn't feel much like that under all the permanently-on striplights

The make-up, how will it look on a Spring? I can't wear Winter colors, espesh when I'm already sweaty.

I hate hot nights.

cosine

despite or at least before this weekend i'm pretty sure this was a cooler-than-average May. unfortunately my room is now stupidly hot all the time and not just because windows face the morning sun. worth it tho.

It's pretty nice weather to look at and be indoors in

I just got back in from trudging around in this. Notes:

1) sitting on the back seat of a bus with all the windows open is k-cooling, albeit like sitting in a wind tunnel
2) Cherry Lucozade is very nice cold but in this heat turns into a lukewarm chemical soup in next to no time

I'm cool with the heat but I get sleepy easier. I can't lie prone in my apartment for more than 10 minutes without dozing off.

yeah don't mind the heat but the humidity... when your nights are as hot as your days it just sucks imo

i got a fuckin cold

what the hell has happened? last few weeks have sucked iirc

today is unusually cold for june

Ugh, I got a fucking cold, and today it went fluish.

fucking froze my tits off outdoors today.

'oh a tshirt and a jacket will be fine, it's june for fuck's sake. ok and a waterproof in case it rains." fuck. rain barely a problem. biting wind nearly killed me.

was warm in glasgow :)

ha i don't mind the cold but i'd prefer the sort of indifferent early summer weather of recent weeks

Today was lovely. Went for a walk out to Woolwich at about 5 o'clock and it was warm, showery and windy. Walking back across the common I was blown all over, listening to the trees whooshing in the wind. Some kids lit a fire in the grass and the fire brigade came.

lovely, sunny and warm on the beach over here

ffs you lot are meant to shelter us from the bad weather

as if it needs to be restated that england lack cover after the algeria game

what the hell has happened? last few weeks have sucked iirc

but since then it's been the days of miracle and wonder iirc

Yeah it's pretty damn great isn't it? I'd be quite happy for it to continue like this, but seems to be a better than average summer so far.

Right now is pretty damn perfect, warm but not too hot with a nice breeze, but I am not a hot weather person, so if it reaches the 29 degrees promised for late afternoon by the weather forecast then I will be grumpy.

(Last night was meant to be still over 20 at 4am! Very glad it wasn't.)

damn

Don't let it pass you by!

apr-may absolutely crushed it but this... this will not stand

the heavens a silver shield against those who would seek their help

it'll make the plants grow!

it's so damn hot! milk was a bad choice...

Normally by March I'm desperate for any sign of warm weather, but this year I'm grateful for any nighttime low temps under 40˚.
