If you live in the UK, you'll understand this post.

Its currently so hot, that the roads in london are melting. Cheak the BBC website for news on this. Or if your lazy :- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/5189734.stm

Yea, you americano's out there might think "Nice weather...kind of a cool breaze" But remember it rains here a LOT ;D We normaly flood, not melt!

But anyway, i created this post for a simple fact.

^_^ TELL ME THE WEATHER WHERE YOU LIVE!

In the time it took me to walk from my house and around two cornors to a main road to jump a taxi into work, I was sweating. Seriousy I could hardly keep my eyes open due to how bright it was with the light reflecting off everything that seemed perfectly aligned with my eyes... I don't know how hot it is, but I don't like it...

Give us back our rain! :)

Jeez, I feel sorry for you guys... :( Half of my family is in China right now, and they say that it's almost too hot to go outside.
Luckily, it's not that hot (yet) here in Eastern US. I just went hiking the other day, and although it was hot, my shoes didn't melt or anything.

I live 40 (or so) miles north of London, and it 32/33C yesterday. I'm pretty
sure the sun caused our internet connection at work to flake out and I ended
up at home for the afternoon of work - not bad! :D however, taking a
ciggy break out in the back garden I was breaking a sweat in 30 seconds of
standing in the sun! also, my mouse and mouse mat became like scorching
embers after I left them, accidentally, in a stray ray of sun while I grabbed
some lunch.

I'm a cold, grey, rain type lover, and this is killin' me ;) must be the part-scandanvian
in my blood ;)

Its just a extream form of weather of late. Im hoping the thunderstorms (even though im REALLY scared of Thunderstorms) come and cool us off. I really dislike heat, im not built for it in the slightist.


Would you US people kindly take back your weather please ;) hehehe.

Shadywolf, I have no idea. I heard it on my local news though. Sensitive skin, possibly?

Currently it's pretty chilly where I live. Though since I'm an Australian my idea of pretty chilly is anything colder than about 15C.

Phoenix,AZ.

Last week hit 116F. Keep in mind that temp is taken 30 feet high in the shade. Working on an airport ramp, it gets to 130F plus easy on the black top. Yes, I know it's a dry heat, but so is an oven. And with the monsoons there are times when it's 110F and that's not factoring in the 70% humidity from the rain. Thank goodness that's only a few days each summer on average. And yes, you can easily get third degree burns on your feet walking around barefoot. I've blistered my feet pretty bad once before going out to get the mail. Great winters here but the summers are HECK!!!
