Why do they assume that everyone *loves* hot & sunny weather? It annoys
the hell out of me when they talk with glee about 'the temperature
hitting 30C and no sign of a breakdown'.

Why do they sometimes not bother with N.Atlantic pressure maps?

Why is it when they forecast weather you want, it never turns up, but
they have 100% success in predicting unpleasant stuff?

Because most people *do*. Or at least *warm* & sunny weather.

I would say that temperatures in excess of 30C are hot rather than warm
(personally I consider anything over 25C hot). I would therefore contest the
assumption that most people like it when the heat gets to that level.

Most people I know complain about hot/humid weather.

what irritates me is when (and it seems to happen most summers now) forecasters
describe hot sunny humid days of 30 C + as "georgeous"

Hi,
It's good to know there are some people out there who agree with me!

I had a feeling this summer was going to be a hot one. For someone who
likes walking and more active stuff than lying in the sun, this is
difficult.

I have stopped watching the TV forecasts as they irritate me. They
seem to assume in summer that everyone's on the beach or in the garden
from June to end September. They forget people working in hot, stuffy
offices; the heat being far worse in towns; and being stuck in jams on
the roads aint funny either.

At least low pressures generally pass through quickly; with highs
you're stuck with them. At least when it's cold you can wrap up; but
there's not a lot you can do to escape the heat. There doesn't even
seem to be any relief from the high temperatures by leaving the
southeast England, either.

Hate to say it, but roll on autumn!
