....according to Met Office. Around 28c at 7pm kick off. Could be uncomfortable for travel and the match itself. Could this be the first match called off due to the heat?

Call a game off because its 28 degrees !! They are professional footballers. On that basis they wouldn't play any games in July or August. Don't think you would last five minutes in QatarQuote:

2003 European heatwave. Killed thousands. I was in France at the start the heatwave doing the Disney thing with the family. Years later I used it as a case study of a high pressure weather event when teaching weather and climate. Stats were appalling. Without looking it up, in UK alone, some 3000 heat related deaths.Quote:

There you have it, folks. Forget the Met Office. Forget the BBC. In fact, forget any and all weather reports. ToTaL ITK has the knowledge. He’s totally in the know where the weather in Wales is concerned. You can rely on him.Quote:

If travelling by rail to Shrewsbury tomorrow, you may find trains have been cancelled and/or ticket sales suspended.
Official advice is not to travel, unless necessary. 16c by us first thing is now 27c and rising.
8pm kick off now, rather than 7pm.
Sensible. Could mess up travel plans though. Also means driving home in the dark through thunderstorms if Met Office are correct in their forecast. Such fun.Quote:

Was definitely more , I’d say about 350Quote:

Its a strange one , hey say its getting hotter and milder in the winter and we are driven to insulate to reduce heating costs , that though keeps heat in , and drives us to purchase air con or other cooling devices , whose manufacture / production have a huge carbon footprint as does the cost to run them same with electric cars , the demand for cheap white good production , all has a huge impact on the climate , yep swings and roundabouts as we bake ???
Thank god the UK has made huge progress on our footprint compared to others ..
Didn't reach any where near 38 by us in CF Nth , and cooled the next day it raised as well , its like the ice age now ..
Insulation keeps the heat out, too. 40c in our porch, 25c indoors with windows and curtains shut. Just have to wait for external temperature to drop below indoors, open windows and doors on north side of house. Nice breeze after a siesta.Quote:
