33 degrees next week so in good time for bank holiday. What is your plan in view of heatwave? Stay at home or hit beach?
Gold-Collection2636@reddit
We're going away to Cornwall for a few days. This was planned over Christmas but I'm glad the weather is finally playing ball
Large-Lettuce-7940@reddit
stay home. dealing with a 3 year old on a cold day is bad enough never mind when im profusely sweating on top.quicker summer ends the bloody better.
impamiizgraa@reddit
Painting hallway tomorrow, festival with family on Saturday, BBQ with dad on Sunday, noisy messy DIY on Monday, and bonus Tuesday off to make up for Monday and relax!

Avoid any popular place on bank holiday then go out for the day Tuesday/Wednesday
Top_Progress3306@reddit
Going slamdunk festival Saturday. Gonna be a swealter

Staying in Scotland.
xxx654@reddit
It’s going to be 25c in Scotland.
Lanthanidedeposit@reddit
Exactly.
Historical_Project86@reddit
It's at times like these that I'm grateful that I live near water, and a slightly cooler forecast. I will mostly be hiding and cursing that it can't just be 20 C for 6 weeks a year.
brokenfatcat@reddit
Slowly melting as being a winter born baby does not do well in the heat 😂 plus I work in a garden centre restaurant so I'm surrounded by hot food equipment
flipflopcuntflaps@reddit
FUCK that. I'm glad I'm not working in the tin can this weekend.
ClaryClarysage@reddit
Cry tears of pure sweat and be purple the entire time.
Siriuslymarauding@reddit
Outdoor water park tomorrow then the coast with the new fella (and no kids!) sat-sun! Cannot wait! I LIVE for this weather.
MiddleElevator96@reddit
Not feeling cold.
Watchkeys@reddit
Where are you? I'm on south coast and the forecast is sunny and around 20 for the forseeable.
danddersson@reddit
28-30⁰ Monday-Tuesday (Met Office) here on the South Coast. Might walk down to the beach, and enjoy the sea breezes.
markusparkus75@reddit
In shorts, drinking.
Jenpot@reddit
It'll only be 19 degrees here but that's still hot for up here. Pottering round the house and garden on Saturday then we've got a community fun day/beer festival type event at our kid's rugby club on Sunday, that should be fun.
Suspicious_Tax8577@reddit
19C is about PERFECT imho.
Jenpot@reddit
Around 24 is my perfect temperature. 19 is pretty damn good though.
xxx654@reddit
Pleasant enough to sit for a pint but can go a wander without being boiling hot. Win win.
smushs88@reddit
Been testing out the Ninja Slushi this week ahead of next week.
Got the frozen Pina Colada dialled in, now to test others!

melanie110@reddit
I’ve got my sun loungers out, I’ve got my tiny 3 ring paddling pool cleaned, I’ve got lots of wine on ice, bikinis all laid out. Factor 30 and hat and I. Am. Set.
dumbellsngoose@reddit
BBQ!!!
thorn312@reddit
Paddling pool in the garden. Yes I will be joining meetings from it.
Suspicious_Tax8577@reddit
A friend bought one for her rescue greyhound. Dog had no idea what to do with it, so she had loads of fun!
thorn312@reddit
Aw that's sweet! We had a hard plastic one for our family dogs growing up, they lost their little dog minds.

My mum's puppy has one. He LOVES IT.

Kitchen temperature when it was 13c outside...
jaymatthewbee@reddit
The pub has air conditioning, and a nice garden, and I’m sure I’ll be able to find a refreshing beverage there.

Sat on the beach Fishing hopefully.
PipBin@reddit
Annoyingly I’m on holiday, where it won’t be anything like as hot…..
RahWitnessedIt@reddit
Beach.. with melting ice cream, and sticky hands, dodging seagulls, castles in the sand, crashing waves, and freezing toes, will it be a hot one - well who knows.. 🏴
JasonVoorhees3@reddit
Running. It's the only reason I like the hot sunny weather
musicallymotivated93@reddit
Basking in all the sunlight.
Also by changing a shock absorber on my car and the rear brakes on my sister's.

Going to the Winchester to have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over

Icy-Belt-8519@reddit
Sorry what?
Erm, cry? I hate the heat
Suspicious_Tax8577@reddit
BBQ on Sunday, otherwise moving as little, as slowly as possible until the heatwave is over - I'm not a miseryguts, I have a health condition (POTs) that gets a lot worse in hot weather, so that sometimes even being sat upright is a challenge.
OmegaPoint6@reddit
Slowly melting into a puddle of self-pity
Commercial-Pear-543@reddit
This is the one. Small breaks to get an ice pop (only happiness in the day)
