Early next week they are forecast to rise to the mid 30’s for a couple of days but then fall back to around average for the time of year. Prior to this dry period it rained for about two weeks solid. All this isn't a heatwave, it is a normal British summertime. It is time that organisations like the BBC stopped trying to make up news to fill airtime and stop trying to frighten the population half to death.
