Just back from the Lambeth country show, being out in that for a couple of hours I can't imagine what another 10 degrees on top will be like. Saw plenty of people struggling as it was. Unsure if that was down to the cider with unknown ABV.0

30 degrees in Bradford at the moment. It's not even sunny. We have been told to WFH because they can't guarantee they can keep the office cool enough. It's only been open a year. They have closed all the blinds and had the aircon on all weekend.
The front of our house is always cool but even that is in the mid 20s.0 -
Sounds like the Charlton team were trying this out yesterday

Nothing more strenuous today than lifting a tinny or two watching the golf. Good luck if you are out/need to do anything arduous.
Except I walked from Wroxall to Sandown. Which is, like, the entire south east coastline.
Thankfully I've had a shandy so I'm fine

Must say I agree with the Tory MP who's now copping flack for saying people are being snowflakes for complaining about the weather. I don't ever remember the over the top news coverage, schools closing and the general bitching and moaning when we've had hot weather before. It's going to be hot for a few days, everyone should keep a sense of perspective and get over it. Lord help me if it was raining everyone would be saying what a shitty summer it is. Now it's hot, loads are moaning about that too.13

We're basically only happy when it's a reasonably mild and sunny day. 20 degrees max will do us.3 -
The problem is it's going to potentially be hotter than we've ever recorded here. 39°C in the middle of a city, wearing a suit or a uniform, whilst walking around a place full of concrete, tarmac, glass, steel and pollution feels much worse than 39°C whilst laying on a beach next to crystal clear waters in nothing but a pair of loose shorts with a cocktail in your hand18

Been up in London this afternoon with my wife, daughter and FIL. Had a lovely Italian in Covent Gdn, then a couple of beers in a nearby pub. Am at the Roger Daltrey gig this evening and @Solidgone has not long texted me to meet up for a beer. Unfortunately won’t get there in time as only just saw my wife and daughter onto a train at Charing X. Found a shady spot on a deckchair in the shade at the park by the embankment to try a cool off for a bit.0

Wouldn't it be odd if the met office didn't give any advice about extreme weather? You don't have to read or take notice of it.10

Before I get some right wing, defund the BBC bullshit thrown at me. My politics is middle of the road, I voted remain, Don't like Boris Johnson or Trump.
I'm sure you will get the odd person who dies from the heat, but you'll get more who are killed crossing the road. I don't see mass hysteria around using Zebra crossings.

I guarantee that contrary to your views there will be no ‘mass hysteria’ and just your usual people acting ‘bonkers’ and you’ll be able to live your life and do pretty much exactly as you would do any other day of the week.2 -
