its summer
At least they're not declaring today as "The hottest day of the year so far" as they have done many times this year, as wee moved from \winter, through Spring and (surprise, surprise) into Summer.
I expect they'll still tell us later that the UK was hotter than some random holiday destination on the Med.Quote:

It's not a new thing, although it doesn't happen very often in the UK, so we don't build up resistance to it. Add in the humidity levels we see in this country, it can be quite uncomfortable.Quote:

‘Bloody ‘ell, that sun’s hot’………..no shit, it’s a few thousand degrees Celsius :hehe:Quote:

It will be a moving feast, of course. And all mapped land elevations and sea/coastal channel depths will have to be adjusted, the former decreased and the latter increased.Quote:

It generally is a different type of heat, it's usually less humid in Southern Europe. Humidity is horrendous because the body struggles to sweat out.Quote:

Im going to Cornwall soon. I'll see if I notice.Quote:

I believe I saw that Harry and Meghan have a new TV deal - they might offer an opinion on that perhaps.Quote:
