Heatwave warnings The one in August 2022 nearly finished me

Make sure you listen to the heatwave warnings.

On 15th August 2022. I collapsed at home with a Cardiac Arrest. Ended up having to spend 4 months in hospital

Tests found no answer as to why I had it but the doctors thought it quite likely that the heat
at the time had contributed to it.

So lets be careful out there, especially you older blokes like me

Take it easy fella i have just come back from the beach at 67 years old and still working as a decorator .
You had a bad stroke of luck there fella but good of you to warn others ,it was a lot cooler on the beach budd.

Elwood - glad you made it through what must have been a tough time for you and your family.

Monty - you should have been a teacher. School near me closed for the rest of the week so plenty of extra time off for the teachers to go to the beach.

I'm sure they'll make up the lost lesson time time by teaching on some of the inset days or maybe they can do online teaching like in Covid?

Garden thermometer showing 39c here And we are supposed to be coolest part Wales!!...Mind boggles

I doubt if that reading is in the shade. Probably in the direct sunlight.

I never had time off in school due to hot weather ,I worked in the summer of 1976 painting masonary white walls on a housing estate with over 70 houses bloody baking then for 8 weeks solid

I can imagine you had a good suntan monty and no safety shoes,hard hat and safety glasses!!

I have breathing and heart issues so not a great fan of this weather.

But would always advise people to stay properly hydrated and you will get through it.

Ha ha it was better in those days monty,money went a long way, especially in the pub and following city.

I was an apprentice refitting the Queens Vaults, start at 6:00am work through till 2:00 then straight to the Knap Pool in Barry. I’d only just moved down from Scotland and thought it was a normal Welsh summer. Happy days.
As has been noted 70s fashion was brutal though.

This heatwave is just about killing me , between my heart problems I also had the bottom lobe of my right lung removed in April so I’ve only got 75% lung capacity and really struggling

Yes,the 70s fashion was a horror show,
I wonder what our parent's thought !! You have got to laugh.

Three evenings ago was walking the streets of Zaragoza in search of some tapas/pintxos. The [official] recorded temperature was 45 degrees ! Never ever experienced heat like it.
