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
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 -

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 -

Still live in AZ. Just got back from vacation in SD, and it was amazing! With the monsoon the highs dip a little, about 105-108F (42-43C), but the added moisture makes it pretty nasty some days. But from Sept-May, there's no place I'd rather be

hi there OP, i haven't noticed anything on the scale but body wise i feel swollen all over, especially my feet are burning like hell . My guess is that the body understands that the need for water has gone up and it stores more to make sure you don't get dehydrated, also the blood vessels dilate .
i'm feeling a bit puzzled myself because i can see there's less fat but the scale doesn't show it and the measuring tape varies quite a lot form one hour to another, so it must be water...
i just come to the conclusion that what i'm doing will eventually yield results even if it's not as fast as i would like so you just have to persevere, if you are on track then assume that this fluctuations are natural and don't get worked up about it.
Thanks God the heatwave has relented a bit.0
