Bender Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Climate fact or fiction It's bloody hot, been a few deaths from drowning, had one near us, out for walk yesterday evening, watched police helicopter flying over the Tyne, unfortunately they found a body this morning. Air conditioning could be a good investment for years to come, if you can afford to run the bloody things. Our dining room has a concrete roof, it's just a giant thermal store, I feel for anyone having to live in Upper floor flats or badly insulated bungalows with no cool rooms. Our dining room is like walking into southern Spain. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'm in a top floor flat, big black barn style roof above me. I cracked the loft open and it is so abysmally hot in there, I understand why at 3am last night, the thermostat still read 35 degrees. Today is hotter, but we have a thunderstorm at 3, that will cool the roof down, which is my only issue. Had to turn off social media for a couple of days, as I just can't stand the whinging of people who just politicise everything. Can't even begin to understand the irrationality of some people. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Our house is freezing in winter, we get no thermal gain from the sun and it costs a fortune to heat. My office is on the north side of the house, three outside walls and is single storey. Working in the winter is pretty chilly. But right now it's wonderful - yesterday it got to 21 and today it's just reached 23. I've made sure I've got lots of desk work to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'm working tonight which will be fun I was originally meant to be doing 12 hour shift but I have very nice bosses who have reduced hours of shop due to weather so I will only have to work 3 while 8:30 and only actually frying between 5 & 8. Not losing money either so I genuinely have nothing to complain about 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttled Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Car temp gauge hit 33 degrees passing Glasgow Airport and on the hottest day ever, I had my longest and hardest run at work, 2 day centres and 34 clients. I am shattered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'm melting, fin early with heat as a good excuse, decided to do a bit in the wife's new office/bedroom, to get her out of the oven that is our dinning room, I ended up down to my boxers and looked like I had forgotten my incontinence liner, I'm about to go in a hopefully relatively cold shower. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 It is my wife's birthday and cooking a meal seemed too much so I raided a Joe Wicks book and came up with a recipe for a crab and avocado creation which involved chilli's, tomatoes, mozzarella and chives. To which I added rocket and prawns. It came out rather well as a meal for a hot evening 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rennie Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I work in a foundry! we had problems today because the cooling water was over temp. coming in! I now have 2 furnaces holding 36T of molten metal at about 1400C all night, which isn't too bad until the operator opens the lids every 2 hours to check the temperature we melt for a living but this week I really have been melting 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
