The Weather

Played golf at 7am this morning and was sweating ridiculously before even the first shot.

 

Never known it like that, that early in the morning.

Hayfever played havoc over the weekend, plus sunscreen is a necessity yet I can't stand it.

 

Sweltering indoors instead.

[Raj]

[Trumpet]

Since coming off them I’ve had no hayfever symptoms. (Two years ago) 

 

Speaking to others a lot of people are now seeing the same. 
 

I was particularly bad for hayfever all my life and since coming off them in 24 I’ve had no issues and sleep so much better. 
 

Also on a side note Antihistamines are bad for male fertility

Mice rather than humans but there is some evidence to suggest that Cetirizine can reduce sperm count: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Esraa-Ahmed-8/publication/333519232_The_potential_impact_of_1st_and_2nd_generation_antihistamines_on_male_fertility/links/5e7fc42192851caef4a8e743/The-potential-impact-of-1st-and-2nd-generation-antihistamines-on-male-fertility.pdf

Why is this weather too hot In the UK but in another country it’s class.

Think that has something to do with the humidity, most places Brits go on holiday for sun tend to have a drier heat. 

 

Also mentality - when you're abroad, you're normally on holiday so all you have to do is enjoy things, while when you're here you're having to do stuff (or think of doing stuff) in spite of the heat.

Less humiditiy and more infrastructure tbh. This country is built for 12C overcast, because until recently that was pretty much all you get. The UK has not kept up with increasing temperatures and these sorts of heatwaves lay it bare.

Lovely int it. Certainly better than it pissing it down all bank holiday weekend.

Just feels different the heat here is brutal when it’s above 25.

Yeah, there's something in that, too.

Disgusting weather not a fan at all 😂

Interesting. But I don't think you can necessarily extrapolate from this and make it reliable advice for all hayfever sufferers. I personally get hayfever something rotten a few times a year, but antihistamines make it bearable. On that basis I could say 'Hayfever top tip: take antihistamines.' But I wouldn't, because everyone is different, and everyone's hayfever is different. Also even one person's hayfever doesn't always stay the same.

Been in Norfolk at the coast over the long weekend and it was really nice but I don’t think it was generally as hot over the past few days anyway. Back home today and it’s not enjoyable. 
 

I don’t get when people rave about 30c+ temperatures. Mid 20’s is nice, getting up to 30+ is oppressive. It feels like people must just say it to be impressive (as if it is) as I can’t see how people genuinely enjoy this.

Humidity and everything being built to conserve heat.

Ok, I've googled it. It seems there's one study that suggests it. Sounds like more research is needed to confirm this as a fact.

[boots60]

Every bank holiday weekend, one way or the other, we moan about the weather.

All part of the joys of living in a good climate.

I’m only passing on what I’ve found out. There’s a lot more out there than just one study. It directly affects testosterone levels and sperm motility.

I suffered for years, really bad on some occasions.

 

I came off antihistamines in spring 24, haven’t suffered since and generally my nose breathing has returned too after years of struggling with it.
