These are the top 20 activities it's 'too hot' for

When the temperature hits 26 degrees C, Brits consider it too hot to cuddle, blow-dry their hair and even wear clothes.

A poll of 2,000 adults saw driving, cleaning the house and doing DIY also feature in the top 20 list of things they avoid doing when the mercury rises.  

It emerged the ‘perfect’ temperature on a British summer’s day is 22 degrees, while anything below 15 degrees is considered too cold.  

But a quarter admitted that while they long for tropical temperatures, they usually moan when they come around.  

However, when they are abroad, 30 per cent want it to be at least 26 degrees, with 38 per cent going on holiday to another country purely for the heat.  

The study comes as the Met Office has warned of another heatwave this week, with temperatures of 35 degrees expected into the weekend. 

Gemma Morgan, from Volvic Touch of Fruit, which commissioned the research and is offering free Tuk tuk rides around London, said: “Brits have a love-hate relationship with the weather - and summer is no exception.  

"With warm sunny weather continuing, we’re bringing Tuk Tuk rides to London this weekend to help keep Brits cool and take an average summer day beyond your expectations.”
