The temperatures reached record temperatures. Temperatures are predicted with error margins as is anything like this.
You’ve picked another pointless hill to die on ffs.
Yes its hot, uncomfortable and dangerous for some but surely someone can question the ‘tactics’ of the BBC and other news outlets without being accused of being a climate change denier ? Two days of hot temperatures does not make an extreme and catastrophic heatwave, which is what we have been bombarded with for the last few weeks on tv and online. By tomorrow the temperatures will be back around normal for the time of year and in the last two weeks there have only been two other days when temperatures went over 30 degrees. Prior to that it rained for about the previous two weeks and temperatures were below average. I am very concerned about climate change but this is not about that, it is about the way that we are being force fed deliberately over the top forecasts purely so that the different outlets can get one up on their competitors and so that the many so called ‘experts’ can try to justify their jobs and huge salaries. They did the same with aspects of the Covid pandemic and no doubt will move on to something else when summer is over and we are all wet and freezing. A heatwave is what happened in 1976 but then the population just got on with their lives and news reporters just concentrated on giving the facts, rather than embellishing and fabricating them as they do now.
An article from a “so called expert” regarding 1976, but it’s in the Guardian, so it probably doesn’t count.

Can you stop getting all your opinions from the daily mail and you might not come across as being quite so uninformed.
Do you think the news should mention as its headline the potential for record breaking temperatures that are predicted by meteorologists?
Do you think they shouldn’t repeat the warnings that heat waves can be dangerous to try and make people take precautions?
Why does the heatwave of 1976 keep getting brought up? Why not the heatwave of 2003 that killed 15,000 in France alone?
Should they not mention climate change even though there’s almost a 0% chance that it isn’t the cause of this heatwave?
200,000 British people died due to covid so far according to the ONS, which bit of coverage was overblown?
In summary, what point are you even trying to make?
40.3 just recorded on Lincolnshire. Very soon people will be saying it will be too hot to host future World Cups in the UK.
JamesWales, I think the BBC forecaster got it spot on here.... https://newsthump.com/2022/07/19/no-...er-forecast-2/
Mate, the Daily Mail is all over it. If you read it, you would know. If you want videos of burning buildings, thats where you'll find it.
BRITAIN BURNS IN 40C.
