Anyone else struggling with the heat?

Is anyone else in the UK struggling with the current heat wave. I had a meltdown at the end of the day at work today and needed help getting home making my fionce late to work because he didn't want to leave my in the state I was in. This always happens when it's hot. My sensory issues feel worse, I feel exhausted and emotional and I can't cope. It seems like I'm surrounded by NT people going on about how 'lovely' the weather is.

Thank goodness for our ceiling fan!
 
For once, it's cold, rainy and cloudy. Right after the drought destroyed any hope at gardening this year.
I feel like I can finally breathe again. I don't like heatwaves.
 
Some of us on the spectrum love the warmer weather.

Around this time of year 28 degrees celsius is when I usually turn the a/c on indoors. Otherwise I rely on my ceiling fan. Still, things like chocolate and butter must be kept in the refrigerator. It's supposed to be around 37 degrees celcius outside today. Summer is definitely here.

Peter O'Toole (as T.E. Lawrence): "It's clean." :cool:

I think part of the issue is our country is not set up for hot weather most workplaces don't have a/c some shops have a/c but its not that powerful our house has a ceiling fan in the living room but even that's rare I don't know anyone that has a/c in their own home.

Yes, it's a problem here as well. Years ago I lived in the Seattle area where it never got warm enough to need air conditioning no one had a/c anyways.

Now as some others who live there can tell you this has changed. But still not everyone has air conditioning. Making it quite nasty to endure at times. I also lived in the San Francisco area for a long time. Even hotter summer temps (as much as 47 celcius max) ...more so than in the High Desert. Stifling heat.

-Global warming...likely here to stay.

My husband and son just arrived in the UK, just as we had a record breaking day here yesterday @ 47C. Much better than here, but then again we have ACs. I visited the UK this same time in July during one of your heat waves in 2018. Horrible, with no AC. But it's pretty much something everyone will have to get used to... Sadly.
