Think its hot, where you are?

[rosiemac]

It's starting to cloud over here now but we were forecast rain this afternoon.

It must be coming from Emmas direction, but we need it because it's so humid here

 

[fwan]

i dont think its hot, I KNOW its hot!
my kitty and bunny just keep on flopping over and have no movement to run around... its currently 30 degrees in my appartment, i just went down to the basement to get some washing and i was just thinking that im going to move down there for the summer because its nice and cool!

its apparently going to rain over the weekedn and today.. but you see.. the clouds have gone to england it seems.

 

[rosiemac]

Yaaaaay it's started to rain!!!!

We can breath properly again!!

 

[gilly]

Ackkk it's still 32 degrees in London... they said that we might get thunder and rain later but looking outside, the sky is still blue and hazy.

Tis humid...

 

[rosiemac]

Gilly it certainly looked like your area was going to have thunderstorms this afternoon on the weather forecast.

Their worried about the Glastonbury festival as well

ppl are taking their bikinis and wellies to Glastonbury!!!

Its been a horrible week here ranging from 30c plus, and averages around 35c. Both me and my fiance and all our cats are very fed up and hating it. Its impossible to enjoy it as there is no breeze or anything. It feels like you can't breath and our house is like a sauna....I did not ask for a huge personal sauna

.

We are all un happy and can not wait for it to rain and get cooler. Its hard to sleep as its so hot and most of our windows are glued shut thanks to this stupid rented property. The hottest room in the house is our bedroom/study, so right now we sleep and sit in the coolest room although thats still hot.I can't wait till I can sleep in my own bed and spend more than 10 mins on the computer without feeling like a fried egg.


*wishes it would rain*wishes it would rain*wishes it would rain*wishes wishes*

We were just talking about Glastonbury when a few years ago when it rained for days and they were caked in mud!

Ahhh yes....

It was 20c when I was driving to work this morning, and we've just had a lovely big storm to give a wonderful fresh breeze! I'm not sure how we explain to my boss that we got no work done because we were watching the lightening though

How do other UK cats cope with our summers? I'm constantly worrying that mine will be too hot, but it seems they're ok in the US!

Hi Purity (another UK'er)

Guinness copes by sleeping on top or under my shrubs in the garden! Or he will find a cool spot in the hallway and flop out. I do worry that he gets too hot because he is all black, which is meant to suck in the heat...

Hi Gilly

I did feel for all you Londoners over the weekend, it was bad enough here and I'm literally a 5 minute walk from the beach, I don't think I could have coped with the tube!

My kittens will be strictly indoor, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll be ok (what with some of the great 'how to keep cool' threads on here!).

 

[rosiemac]

Gilly, i've had to get them through to have a look after weve been talking about it!

Rosie and Sophie love to lie in the kitchen or on the hallway upstairs which is where the sun streams through on an afternoon, but when it gets too hot they go into their room where it's cooler and just crash out on the floor.

It has shattered them though, but i always make sure all the windows and bedroom doors are open to let a breeze through

If you Google "Glastonbury mud" and click on images theres quite a few!

 

[flisssweetpea]

[rosiemac]

Good grief!!. They spoke about how bad the weather was going to be in some parts this morning, but i didn't think that bad?!.

A tornado in the UK!!

Do you not have a problem with the cats trying to get out of windows?

No, i only open them at the top approx 3 1/2" - 4", and their double glazed aluminium windows so are quite stiff to push open.

 

[millyanddaisy]

I made some screens to fit over the windows, so the cats can have a breeze, without being invaded by the neighbours (the cats next door!).

I have watched Milly this week, lying in the sun. She gets too hot every so often, so she jumps down from the window and lies on a wooden cupboard to cool off!

Ahhh it's on it's way to London

The sky has suddenly turned black and there is a hint of torrential rain in the air.....
