Temperature

Eleonora

It's hot here again. 30c today and then 35 for the next 3 days. I don't do too well in the heat so I'm suffering at the moment.

I'm trying to keep cool and not worry too much but it's feeling hot here already and it's getting to me.

  • I have reached my limit with this heat, I thought it was over after the last heatwave but if anything this one is worse cos its longer and I wasnt able to make plans and prepare for it.
    The heat is a huge sensory thing for me, does anyone else have this? It feels like I am being suffocated and the thought of leaving the house in it makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry. I really cant cope with it. The brightness is too much too. I have all the curtains drawn but its got to the point where even the sun shining through the curtains is too much for me.   And yet staying indoors makes my head go haywire with anxieties as I am a very outdoorsy person so I cant win. Staying indoors is also making my kid go stir crazy and throw things even more than usual. 

    Tomorrow is meant to be the hottest day and yet I am commited to playing cricket tomorrow and I dont know how to get out of it, making me feel very panicky

    I feel the same about the limit. I have had enough and just want it to cool down. Even the mornings are getting warmer so little relief there. I hate my skin being warm and constantly waking up in the night when I get to sleep. I miss going for cool walks and cool fresh air. Hoping no more heatwaves this year.

    I can't imagine doing sport in this weather.

    Yes, I hate my skin being warm too. I really don't understand how people can sit in the sun. I can not stand the sensation of sun on my skin.

    Cool fresh air is probably my favorite thing in the world. I love walking in the cool (or cold!) too.

    I get really dizzy if I stay outside in the heat and end up blacking out. I don't understand how people manage to play sport and do physical activity in these temperatures.
