There’s 30 people who’ve died of heatstroke so far this year in Thailand who are no longer complaining about the heat. I don’t know if they were Thai’s or not, be careful out there, heatstroke is a thing. 😊

Having recently been in Pattaya until the 26th of April, with the heat and humidity I personally found it quite uncomfortable being out and about. The main reason I'd complain is because it is such much less enjoyable doing things like going for a long walk, going to the market, or even sitting in a bar if there isn't a fan directly on me. Just my personal experience.

[@adriver4471]

I'll be checking a few places out this weekend

[@Truegho]

Eddy, it's been really warm today on Merseyside, and I hate it. Cannot stand the heat at all. And all these radio presenters who rave on and on about the "glorious warm weather" have been doing my head in! They don't seem to realise that there ARE people out here who cannot stand hot weather and much prefer the coolness of autumn.

[@bigwideworld387]

But it's people that hate any remotely nice weather that need to accept that they are not the norm, we've had the wettest 18 months on record, it was 5.c and torrential rain last Sunday where I live, people were sick of putting the heating on. Tonight I actually got to sit in the sun in my garden and have a beer and be warm! I see the odd person on weather Facebook groups like you, it's healthy and absolutely normal to enjoy good weather! The vast majority of people don't think like you and you can't expect them to, you need to get a grip too because it wasn't an unbearable heatwave! It was a bit warm! If you really hate any nice weather and you hate anyone enjoying it , I suggest you confine yourself to your house til late autumn, close your curtains and keep your radio and TV off. I suffer winter deficiencies, by December I'm struggling to stay awake past 7pm, it's been a long struggle to get out of these deficiencies and the fatigue this year because we've not really had a spring just so much cloud and rain. It's not fair to begrudge people being normal and so glad thst the healthy weather has arrived! Another reason the weather turning nice is making people happy is that the endless rain is causing problems, where I live there are banks collapsing into rivers, our railway services are screwed because there's been a landslide on to the tracks. Not to mention that if we want to see any British produce on the shelves this year and stop some farmers going bust, the weather needed to improve.
