UK in the summer
Hello as you already know, I am crazy about UK, I live in US, and always wanted to visit. All I have seen is through the TV, and so far I like it. I told my husband today that I want to go there in august, he says it's too hot, too many tourists, and he doesn't want to go. He suggests going in winter, for Christmas. Which season is better?
Hi Julia. Yes July and August are the hotest months, well in the Westcountry. I would think September would be nice .
I Lived in an American comunity for two years when I lived in Napole and I hardly saw any English people. Came home with an accent too.
I would love to vist staeside.
I still don't think it as hot as in Texas, we have to stay indoors all the time. I like to walk , and here cars are your only option. How hot does it get in August over there?
Very hot but I can't compare having never been to Texas. I think Texas is most likely to be hotter but in August here some times you need to stay in.
A lot of elderly die in the heat in july and Augus here. Down here in Exmouth you will find at leest two people pass out a day from heat and have to be attended by parramedics. I usualy carry a bottle of iced water when I go out. Doesn't stay Iced for long.
We have the hottesrt weather in the UK here in Devon
Here's a chart of monthly averages up to 2003, we seem to be going through a warm spell the last three or four years, but nothing like Texas I would imagine.
Here's a converter from Celcius to Fahrenheit
The thing with UK weather, is that it is like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get..gif "Smile")
I agree with the Forrest Gump statement Rolf .Lol
18 Celsius in August, that's perfect, it's about 40 Celsius the whole summer here.
You should be alright then, 38 degrees is our all time record, but one thing is that air conditioning, although more popular now, is not the norm.
That is a very good point, Rolf, it may not be as hot as places in the US but it's not as easy to get the relief from the heat. I will be changing jobs shortly, and I have decided that the very first question is gong to be - "do you have air conditioning?" My present job does but it broke down in the hot weather and it brought back memories of trying to work in boiling weather - the brain just won't work. In fact I have just ordered a portable AC unit for my house for those really hot days when it's impossible to sleep - I can get around the sweatiness, but I get VERY grumpy without sleep!
Her's a picture of a typical English summer day, taken today near Streatley, Oxfordshire.
ladylouise62, there are ACs here everywhere, so I am always cold in the building.
I always find that very weird when it's boiling outside and you need a jumper inside. In fact where I last worked you needed a jumper in the summer and short sleeves in the winter. Ridiculous!
I visited the Dead Sea in Israel once and sitting on the bus I couldn't wait to get outside as it was so hot... then I got outside and wanted back in again!!!! It's all relative, isn't it
