UK Heatwave: These People Really Want The Sunshine To Be Over

When was the last time you didn't stick to your chair?
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Right now Britain is basking in the longest heatwave in years: in fact the sun has been shining so consistently that the idea of ever wearing a jumper again seems impossible.

And we know that when the rain and wind arrives we’ll be complaining about that too (and wishing we’d made the most of the summer) but, you have to agree it really is damn hot out there at the moment.

In fact, it’s so sweaty that some people have taken to social media to ask the weather gods if they’d just consider giving us a break already.

Some Brits are just bored of waking up to the same old weather all the time - where is our unexpected shower or four seasons in one day hey?

Oh good... It’s hot and sunny again... excellent...#heatwave #stopnow

The heatwave has been going on so long in the UK that British people have actually started to choose to sit in the shade and not feel the need to get paralytically drunk every night.

I’m so over this heatwave, like can winter hurry up so I can eat shit loads, watch movies and stay in all day without being judged thanks

Especially because it is not helping us feel our most attractive selves.

There’s so much sweat between my thighs that at points I’m questioning if I’ve wet myself. #Heatwave

is anyone else having this problem in the heatwave where you sweat so much into your knickers that every time you sit down you think you've started your period

Dry blowing your hair in a heat wave involves melting from the inside out and then having to re-do it all over again due to sweat. #FirstWorldProblems #ukheatwave

I self-identify as a liquid now.
I am more sweat than human.

And we can’t be dealing with all the extra admin that comes with the heat.

Learnt a valid life lesson tonight. Don’t eat fajitas that were already spicy two days ago when you get in at midnight from work in a blistering heat wave. I don’t think I’ll be sleeping tonight as I might drown in my own sweat.
