    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.

    And, of course, we always have warm weather in the summer.

    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.

    Can't wait 'til winter when the temperatures 'plummet' . Haven't heard that phrase since February.

    Also on your hot day bingo card - "I like the heat but the heat doesn't like me", and "it's a different kind of heat when you're on holiday isn't it".

    I can't wait for the Daily Express headline of "Snow warnings issued as sudden stratospheric event to spark killer snow bomb!"

    With each passing heatwave the average temperature rises, so I wonder how long it'll be until heatwave temperatures won't be above average? Instead they'll just be average.

    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.

    By the way, did you know that Cornwall (where Newlyn is located and where mean sea level is calculated) experiences a phenomenon where the land rises and falls by about 10-15 cm twice a day due to the effects of the tides and the weight thereof?

    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.

    The Express reckon that when they do a weather warning headline on the front page, their circulation rises significantly as does the number of hits on its website.

    Exactly the same temperature as it is here. Except we have 45% humidity and you have 28%. Which is surprisingly dry. Some summer days we can get 70-80% which is almost unbearable. Our overnight low is going to be 23ş. Thank you to the person that invented air-conditioning.

    Weather is all the Express has left.

    They used to be able to alternate it with Brexit and Diana - but no more!

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

    It wasn't really noticed until GPS was available.
