Heatwave
I can’t stand this bloody heatwave. For those that don’t know the UK is experiencing temperatures upwards of 30 degrees Celsius, but as most houses (mine included) are built to trap heat the actual temperature in my bedroom and office are over 40. I already don’t do well in the heat but this is killing me, my fans put out hot air after half an hour of running, a space heater/cooler I got puts it out in 20 minutes, I live in a rented house so there’s not much of a possibility of AC even if we could afford it. I sleep and awake in sweat, every time I go out for a smoke I’m drenched in the stuff, and to make matters worse my PC constantly overheats and crashes. I’ve opened windows and doors only to find dozens of moths, flies, mosquitos, and the occasional hornet in my house not to mention the fact that they also just push the heat in during the day. I have one pair of shorts that I constantly have to put in the laundry due to the sweat seeping through them so I rarely get to use them and even when I do i still sweat like crazy. I have a window constantly open in each room, changes nothing, even open my balcony doors at night which also changes nothing. The only way I am able to cool down is taking the occasional freezing cold bath to which the effects (full body chill) only stay for about 45 minutes, then I’m drenched in sweat again. Still have about 2 months left of these temperatures until next year, when it’ll be even worse. Thank you for reading.
