    I'm this close to throwing the mattress out the window and sleeping in the garden.

    Only got 2 hours sleep last night. Up at 7:30. :(

    Anyone else finding it tough?

    That sucks. I don't find sleeping in heat that bad. Kicking off the sheets is usually enough if it's bad

    It's the damn humidity. As soon as you step out the door you can feel the weight of the air on you.

    Sleep in the garden in the nip. Those flying ant bastards will make you never want to leave the house again!

    It's horrible. It really annoys me when weather forecasters describe this kind of crap as 'good weather'. If it prevents you from sleeping, it's fucking bad weather.

    Since man emerged out of the cave he has had an issue with the sac sticking to the side of his leg during hot weather. It's a design flaw. Can I recommend a dusting of light talc around the twig and berries? It works. You'll be able to face the C-Suite confident in the knowledge that the 'cellar works' aren't going to stop you making a big impression at the table that matters.

    Mist is so heavy I can't see out a window. Visibility is about 5 metres here.

    I want the cold back, can't sleep or work in this heat. Give me -10C any day over this. Even if there was a bit of wind to take the edge off. I have 12 windows open here and you would not know the difference if I went and close them all.

    There's nothing wrong with a bit of rain. Well, nothing that remaining indoors won't solve.

    You don't need air conditioning for 20 degrees. Christ on a bike.

    If I was in Florida it'd be 7:43 in the evening so I probably wouldn't be in bed.

    It's the humidity that's the problem.

    The humidity and the bollocks who insulated my house more than any house needs to be insulated.

    I've been in nothing but my boxers for 2 hours beside a window that is slightly open. Does the job for me.

    Last summer, the nights were warmer so I supplemented this method with 1-2 shots of whiskey an hour before bed. Just enough to knock me out.

    If your house is so well insulated it should insulate the heat from entering the house.

    No but the heat gets trapped inside the house ever with every window open upstairs when you walk upstairs its like walking into a sauna downstairs is cooler

    I have my air conditioning set to around 24/25 degrees at night time. That's a nice cool temperature for sleeping. Go away with your 21 degrees being too hot!

    Our air con was broken last week and the temp was 33 degrees in the bedroom. Now that's unbearable!

    I understand the argument that we have high humidity and thus it feels way worse, but still..I'm quite comfortable in this weather/temp. When I went to Spain the heat knocked me for six.
