Load of bollox. It's going to be hot, be careful!! You'd think they have something better to do.
Next week they'll be warning people to carry un umbrella in case it rains. As if people cannot work these things out for themselves.
How much are these civil service clowns getting paid to issue this crap?
Totally agree. It is the height of our summer and records are there to be broken. Simples 😎
40 degrees is dangerously hot. Especially for the elderly and people who aren't used to dealing with that kind of heat. Over here we have cooling centers where people go to get away from the heat. It's not just something you can shake off. Just a few years ago over 1500 people died during a heatwave in France.
I don't recall saying 40 degrees isn't hot. People generally watch the weather forecast, and the presented tells them when something unuusal is happeneing, like telling people to wrap up warm when a cold snap comes. Then people either follow the advice or not as they see fit.
A RED warning just scares people unnecessarily. Its a waste of money, idiots will still act idiotically .
Load of bollox!
The only reason its the first is because they haven't been doing them very long.
Saying I'm giving too much credit to the general population is a pretty insulting remark to them.
People have enough sense of self-preservation to know when they are too hot and to cool down just have the have enough sense not to go for a stroll in the middle of a gale. There were no red warnings in '76 or '03 but we didn't see people in the street walking into the sun and dying like lemmings. We survived. (Ok the lemming remark was a bit OTT )
I'm a member of the general population alright, and I certainly don't consider myself to be of a superior intellect to the average person. Not by any means.
I think you're almost certainly as thick as a pail of pig shit, though. Everything you've ever posted on here has suggested as much.
The 1976 heatwave is understood to have been the cause of 20% 'excess deaths' and there were significantly more hospital emergency admissions from 24 June to 8 July 1976 than for the same period in 1975 or 1974.This compares to 59% excess deaths for the 2003 heatwave.

Hottest temperature i've experienced is 45⁰ in Portugal. Bought an ice cream, it melted in my hand after 60 seconds. Spent the days in bed and came out around 7 pm. Dangerous weather.
I think a few of the anti-woke snowflakes (!!!) on here will need to calm down a bit by Monday - there’s are a chance that the UK will have its highest temperature since records began on Monday and yet, as always, they know exactly what it’s going to be like already.
These anti woke lot do seem to get very worked up about anything and everything. They want to cancel name/gender badges. They want to cancel extreme heat warnings. They want to cancel BLM and taking the knee. Yet these are the very same people who bleat about cancel culture. You couldn’t make it up.
My bet is that it won't be anywhere near as hot as predicted.
Makes a change from the winter doomongers talking of 'plummeting' temperatures. We probably live in one of the most tepid climates on the planet yet nowadays there's red/amber triangles, exclamation marks, week in week out. Just waiting for the government to announce they're holding one of those 'COBRA' meetings just to add to the drama.
