Here in London it was 37 degrees Celsius (around 99 f) !
I'm sure it feels hot to people who aren't used to such things, though.

The thing with me is, i don't like Weather extremes...too much heat (like today) or when it Snows.
Anything in between i'm fine with!0 -

Me too. They even had a segment here on the news last night of Brits complaining about the "heatwave"...
31 degrees is a pleasant spring day here in Australia.
On the other hand, I'm sure a lot of Aussies would shrivel up and die if we had to experience Britain's bitter cold winters. It was 5 degrees Celsius when I got up this morning, and it was almost unbearable

It can get over 100 degrees in Michigan. The only thing that I detest is the sweating. I do retain a lot of water when it is hot out. You can give us a little tiny bit of that heat, if you like! It's July and only 68 degrees

It's 5:30 pm and 105F here. This is why I belong to a gym.
As far as weighing, I try to weigh myself first thing in the morning, right after I go to the bathroom and have been in decent temperatures all night. That way food and rehydrating don't have much influence either way. I can't see the heat having too much impact at that point, unless your body is stressed in general, and then I could see retaining a little water.

I'm assuming you're in Texas? We're not prepared for either really hot or really cold weather here. We don't have air con in most places. I teach, and my school has a massive space in the middle with a plastic roof ffs. It's like a greenhouse. There's no air conditioning at all. I live in the south east, so it was about 35 degrees yesterday. Imagine being in a greenhouse with over 1000 kids.0 -

Maybe Sydneysiders would shrivel up and die...for some of us that was the maximum temperature today!0 -

Let's put this 'laugh at the stupid Brits' into perspective, shall we? - the hottest July temperature EVER recorded in the UK was YESTERDAY, at around 37degC! So yes, it's extremely hot, for the people who live, work and have to travel in this country right now.
It's bloody tough, when many workplaces either have no or inadequate aircon. My office building does have some aircon, but the factory and warehouse don't have an adequate cooling system. at least not one that copes with these temperatures. I have to go through the factory several times a day for quality checks, and the heat was unbearable, close to 30 degrees for part of the day. I felt extremely sorry for the workers - although they got increased break times to help them cope. Laugh it up only if you've had to do an 8 hour shift in that kind of heat, whilst having to wear protective clothing! A lot of them joked about weight loss, but I knew they were all on the edge of dehydration, so kept sending them to the water cooler! And some of them did complain about swollen hands and feet, which is a classic dehydration sign, so it was a very clear example of how heat affects the body, even in young and fit people.0 -
Oh streuth .. they're just having a bit of light-hearted banter0

I never realized this until now, but it explains a lot!
I work indoors, but mostly from home, where there is no air conditioning. I'm also outside a lot doing gardening, picking fruit, etc.
It has been close to 100F/37C in the Pacific Northwest for the last couple of weeks, which is VERY unusual here. It has also been humid, which doesn't usually happen in the summer. Most people here are not prepared for such things and very few homes have air conditioning. We sometimes have a day like this once or twice in a summer, but weeks at a time with this kind of heat? Nope!
It's because of the blob.0 -
I feel a little more bloated from all the water I'm chugging.
It is unconfortably hot here because of the humidity. I've just come back from Italy where the temperature was hotter, but it was much more pleasant. I had a long meeting just off the hospital delivery suite yesterday afternoon and it was in the high 30s (no air con). I feel sorry for the poor women giving birth up there in those conditions.0 -

Not many places in the UK have Air conditioning either.

Today was a lot cooler (around 25C i think).
I actually managed to get stuff done!
I really don't wanna be seeing 37C again, any time soon. Lol0
