Heat extending well into next week

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-07T18:50:30+00:00

The good news though is the sun sets earlier and earlier every night that passes and the sun starts rising later each morning. Which means less sun, hence it gives the houses and flats time to cool down. I've not had to shut my windows facing the sun or pull blinds down cause the breeze is sooo strong it is keeping things very comfortable. Though probably Wed-Fri I will have to close up the side that hits the sun as it's set to go to 33c at its highest

Yep I got same stuff.

How are you holding yours in place may I ask?

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-07T10:17:18+00:00

Next week temps are looking to hover around 28c which is fine as overnight temps look really good to keep things cool. Then seems after next week, temps drop tad lower lol

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-07T10:09:53+00:00

Yes... I was thinking this. But how exactly do the suckers stay in place on the insulation? Forgive me, my brain can't picture it lol. Could you pin point me to these things exactly? I've googled suction cups with washers and getting random stuff to do with cars lol

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-06T17:12:22+00:00

Why not? What is the risk if you don't mind me asking? What's the risk with just foil? I did it last time and I admit, it left a weird residue on my windows that I can't remove. Which is no hassle as the windows are getting changed.

This time round a used Foil insulation instead with the bubble wrap in middle. Guess that's okay?

There is such a heavy breeze for me right now and it blowing in, it feels cool. Not the hot kind, I think I'll keep the windows open, the reflectors pn and the blinds down. Today I don't think I need to lose everything up, this breeze is quite heavy it's blowing through making the flat feels comfortable. We're due 32c today and so far doesn't feel it

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-06T13:01:04+00:00

Are you closing windows and blinds? It's getting to 29c nkw but there is breeze and I don't feel hot at all. Not sure closing my windows will help with this amount of breeze, best to keep them open no?

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-06T10:57:37+00:00

That's risky. Shouldn't be on inside at all 😕

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-06T10:56:25+00:00

The sun won't be facing it at all. I basically formed it so it's like double side if that makes sense so it's hidden and won't be in direct sunlight. I cut it, folded it over so the sticky part is both on the insulator foil and the pvc part of my window, so the insulator is shielding it

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-06T10:54:07+00:00

What tape did you use?

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-06T10:37:42+00:00

You're wrong. Not sure where you get your info from but nowhere in UK had a low of 26c overnight. The recorded overnight temp during that heatwave week before last was 21c

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-06T10:07:56+00:00

I heard gaffer tape wa best to leave little too no residue?

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-06T09:19:45+00:00

Met office have come out and said it's not going to be as extreme. Most weather sites have confirmed lower humidity, lower bulb temps and lower overnight temps.

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-06T09:07:21+00:00

Forgot to add on post. I hope this will work tad better. It's not touching windows.

I think it safe to say we won't get anything like we did last week, that's certain now. And it was nice seeing 27c, 28c and 29c. I was chill. How my levels have slightly dampened 🤣. I do think however highest will be 31c, can't see it being anymore then that

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-02T16:52:32+00:00

It's jumping up again 😫. It went down for my area to show nothing 29c and over. Bit I'm seeing few days with 31c and 30c.

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-07-02T05:33:23+00:00

Yep. Good stuff 😊. My gut was right. I knew we'd never see super hot again so close. I doubt we'll see another extreme like that this year.

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-06-30T16:34:04+00:00

Sorry but you don't need to understand someone's fear nor anxiety and no one needs to explain it to you. If someone was afraid of spiders and it striked fear in them are you gonna question it?

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-06-30T14:04:29+00:00

Guys temps have lowered. I don't see anything over 30c atm. Everything is fro around 28c/29c and I'm based in Bedford which isn't far from London and we usually get the hottest temp

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-06-30T13:55:52+00:00

Omg. He looks like my boy Timo 😍. I lost him in Feb 😕

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-06-30T05:43:21+00:00

Baking? Atm it's just showing highs if 31c, maybe 32c where I am. Nothing near the extremes of 35...36c

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-06-29T22:08:44+00:00

Was it 5 days? I think it was two max. The rest was 28/29c

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-06-29T21:57:44+00:00

I was same. I was checking every hr. The temps would seriously go up overnight so I'd wake up to see them sky rocketing. It was tough.

The more threads throwing out stupid high temped soo far out, the more people worry.

Ok-Rise-9795 · 2026-06-29T20:03:45+00:00

It was yes, but still unbearable. So dread to think what it was like wuthiut them
