My girlfriend is heading to Barcelona for 10 days on Wednesday and she hasn't been anywhere outside the UK and Ireland before. Poor thing is going to seriously feel it bad if Madrid's temperatures are anything to go by.
 
fuck it, not going through this crap every year. bought one of those mobile ac units.

But how will you complain about the heat? Don't you want to be part of the Zeitgeist?

We're old Europe, let's talk about the definition of a mobile ac unit first and then - after four years of rigurous discussion - decide if we buy one or not.
 
Even if they were sold here (maybe they are, I don't know), I don't have a good space for it.



Cars virtually all have AC, if only homes did :(


plenty of times I've come home from work (AC in the office), driven home (AC in the car) and just parked on the drive not wanting to get out of the car because I know my house will be hot and humid.
 
You are no longer a British citizen. Hand over your passport and electric kettle.

but... I'm not british. o_o

although, I do have an electric kettle. maybe I'm a closeted brit?

I have nobody to complain to. it's just not the same being grumpy on your own. :(
 
Part of being british is that we get to complain about the weather no matter what it is. It's our conversation ice breaker.

Sorry France but you are going to burn.

As is the rest of western europe.
 
Great. Heatwave in London on my days off so I can't enjoy my window-less, AC haven that is my office. I guess I'll build a tent in my fridge so I can look out of the window and watch my grass and plants brown, wither and die.

... We haven't been hit with a hosepipe ban again have we?

Now I know why I love Scotland and Ireland so much. Major heatwave, and it's just 23°C over there ? Just perfect.
I really dislike hot weather in general, but I think I'm getting used to it. It also helps that my current building does a very good job keeping a fresh temperature in all weathers. Old brick/stone houses rule. ^_^

I can practically see that giant 34 floating above London when i look out of my window.

Does anybody know what the house market is like in Dingle, Co. Kerry?
 
I really HATE summer.

it used to be fun when I wasn't working, the whole summervacation and everything.
But now it's stinking sweaty people, sleepless nights, insects everywhere, migraine's and the inescapability of it all :(
 
currently 22 ° C with a light breeze here in Belgium so i am not burning alive yet .

temperature is gonna quickly rise over here .

^^

You have my sympathies Spain and France .
 
All of the windows I have seen in Germany make it so that you can't even get a window mounted AC. They open like this.

Looked around and there are no cheap ACs where I live :(

Gonna go out in the heat and hope to find at least a fan and ice cream lol

Yeah window mounted AC just don't exist in Northern Europe, AC is either integrated in the building (usually for offices, sometimes modern flats), or you can buy mobile units like the one below, which has flexible exhaust pipe that has to reach outside one way or another.

It'll only be around 26 degrees on Saturday where I live, hurray for living close to the ocean. Wednesday will be 30+, but then I'll be at work anyway.

30C and nice wind, she'll be fine.
 
Spending two weeks over in Europe (Italy, France and Spain) starting on Friday. Hoping the heat subsides by then.

Friday and Saturday are the hottest days of the week. Welcome to hell.

@kjellson: 15°C is perfectly fine for shorts. If you don't wear any it's because you are a pussy :P
 
I have an job interview thursday but 34 degrees + 1,5 hour ride by train to get to the interview + hay fever means i might as well postpone it. :lol

RIP.

You really should try to postpone it.

I hate that offices do not allow shorts... Jeans are killing me + hay fever
 
Just heard in the news temperatures will reach 44 degrees in Córdoba today. And here I am in northern Spain melting at 38 degrees.

Nearly everything is shit when you get older :/

Time to get a haircut this week, sweaty hair is horrible.
