If you dont live here and youre not affected by it every day, you forget that its happening. But it is. Im already hot. Normally, i like to start my days off with a dog walk. Come on. We need to make it super early so that my little fur baby can walk on the ground without burning himself. Are your paws 0k . I think it was around 56 this year, as supposedly high as it got, but it feels like 60. Yeah. Its hot. Do you get dehydrated . It sucks the life out of you. It goes like this. And then thats it, youre just like. Lets go home. Its hot. Come on. Im done, bro. Today i have a really special guest. This is. Hi, guys. I think in my line of work when im doing a lot of content creation, i can really see when the heat does affect me. When you do have the best light in a day to be able to film, its absolutely too hot for you to do it outside. So, since this is a compilation episode, im going to make sure that i bring coffee to everybody. Since we dont get to go out for coffee. The hours between 11 in the morning until around 4 in the afternoon are no go times for being outdoors. The heat impacts your life in ways that you dont necessarily anticipate. On a day to day, it makes things that are supposed to be a minute long an hourlong. All right. Yeah. Sit down, my love. You want the ac . One of the things that i was not anticipating when i did finally have children was now i had this tiny little being that needed to be protected from the sun. All right, lets get going. And because i had rear facing car seats, the ac unit actually never touched his car seat. So we would turn the car on 30 minutes prior to an outing, put the ice packs into his car seat to cool it down before i could place him in it, and then we had a tube that would extend from the front ac into the backjust to make sure that we could get him enough Air Conditioning in a rear facing car seat. And that is the reality for all parents here. Push the door. Push, push, push. Do you want to try that . Its like mango with strawberry and chocolate. Its like mango with strawberry. I want chocolate. Is there a chocolate for you . Ive spent my entire adult life living in kuwait, but i did have a little bit of time where i got to grow up in the states and got to really be on my bike and be outside and make tree houses and climb trees. And i guess i really did want that for my own children. How is it . Is it cold . Yeah. Has it given you a brain freeze . No, thats good. I think theres a common misconception that there is the ability to split your time between multiple countries if youre a kuwaiti. That has never been my reality. So the assumption that were able to just kind of leave when its too hot is really not possible for everybody. This is the hottest ive ever seen kuwait. It is getting to the point where its really unbearable. And i feel like everything about living here is hostile sometimes. You said you like swimming inside or outside more . Inside. Why do you like inside . Do your feet hurt when you walk on the Grass Outside . Yeah. It concerns me that the only life that my children have known has been in scorching heat. They want to be kids and go to the playground, and theyll beg to go all day and then well finally break and take them. And itll be so unbearable that theyre begging to go back home. Really humid. The absolute best invention in the world. The only way. Look, you cant even feel it now. Theres absolutely no way to survive here without ac. And i think that whats really disturbing about that is that youre cooling your little section, but youre heating up outside. And so we are in this awful, awful cycle of trying to cool ourselves down, but also heating up the country even more as we go on. I think that weve gotten a little fatigued with the idea of climate change. Youve got to stop using straws to save the turtles and youve got to turn off the lights in your bathroom as you leave the house to be able to save a little bit of energy. But The Big Picture is what it actually means to live here, what it means to raise children here. And i sometimes worry, and it is one of my largest fears, is that my children are so young right now, and these are probably the best days of their life in terms of weather. If you dont live here and youre not affected by it, every day, you forget that its happening. But it is and its terrifying. If were looking into the future, i dont see how much longer we can consider kuwait habitable.

Its been yet another unsettled weekend of weather with low pressure close by. But theres been some blue skies and sunshine around as well, such as here in dumfries and galloway. Also some showers such as these, recorded by a Weather Watcher in shropshire. And its been blustery, too, for this time of year, and it does stay unsettled into the start of next week. A wet start for many on monday, but then things will quieten down. So turning drier, more settled and also warmer, especially in the south. This is the Satellite Picture from earlier on today. You can see various Weather Fronts just approaching the South West Of England and wales. Theyll be pushing further northwards through tonight. So bringing some heavy downpours of rain for most. Well see rain spread into Central Southern England tonight, pushing northwards across Northern England by the time we get to dawn tomorrow, a wet night across wales, mild and muggy underneath this cloud and rain. Across Northern Ireland, some clear spells, so cooler here and still a scattering of showers across scotland. Now on monday, there are met Office Weather warnings in force across wales and Northern England for heavy rain, around 30 to a0 millimetres, possibly higher Rainfall Totals with any afternoon embedded thunderstorms, theyre possible. But it will dry out and brighten up, i think, for wales and for South West England towards the end of the day. Still some bright spells across east anglia, sunny spells and showers for Northern Ireland and scotland. Its still rather windy in the south, but tuesday, a much calmer looking day of weather. That system has pushed its way northwards and eastwards into scandinavia. Its largely dry, particularly through the morning. Some Afternoon Showers perhaps breaking out for eastern areas of scotland and northeast england. Temperatures more widely rising into the low 20s in celsius. And it will feel more pleasant, of course, with those light winds in the best of the sunshine. And then High Pressure builds in as we head through wednesday, which will keep us largely dry. Still the possibility of some Afternoon Showers, but its keeping all of this low pressure out in the atlantic well at bay. So these systems will be stalled. There will be some sunshine developing on wednesday. Watch out for some showers developing, particularly towards north sea facing coasts. And any showers will be quite slow moving because of the light winds. But its starting to feel warmer. I think temperatures towards the South Of England in particular will rise into the mid twenties in celsius, cooler towards the north, maybe some showers at times. Live from london. This is bbc news.
