absolutely no one dying of heat related illness over the next couple of days then as everyone uses their ‘common sense’.Well I'm going to sound heartless here. Stupid is as stupid does. If someone decides to sit in their deck chair in 40 degree heat and drink 6 Special Brews and they die. I for one will not be losing any sleep over it. Most sane people will get out of this OK. We have 2 days of hot temperatures I'm sure everyone on CharltonLife will be alive on Wednesday and not succumbed to a 'heat related illness' God give me strength :0 -

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.
Tomorrow and Tuesday when its hitting high 30s I should be outside working in a sun trap between the hours of 8am till 4.
I'll pm you the address and you can come along and help.2 -

Daughter sat in Manchester A&E from 6pm Wednesday until 9am Thursday, before being seen by the first doctor. It was promptly ascertained that she has appendicitis and was booked in for an emergency operation. Didn't get a bed until 10pm Thursday night, but then kicked out of bed on Friday morning as needed for other 'more' poorly folk and asked to sit on a chair until 10pm Friday night before another bed materialised. She's still at the hospital sat in a bed awaiting surgery...... That op was booked as immediately required on Thursday morning. The NHS is coping just nicely already without a heatwave. Lol.3

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.5 -
It just pissed it down 5 miles down the road from here for 10 minutes. Completely missed my garden.

The temperatures expected are unprecedented and a risk to life for many old and vulnerable people.
It is important that everyone takes sensible precautions to look after themselves, so that our health services are not put under further pressure.
The comments I've seen on social media show that there are many who don't understand the problems these unprecedented temperatures will cause, and they do need to be given advice on how to cope.5 -
Edit: Absolute misreading by me!0

Also don't get the need for people on here and in social media to belittle people who are concerned about the extreme weather we are going to experience in the next couple of days. If it doesn't concern you and you don't give a toss, go ahead and enjoy the sun. But if you feel like it might have a detrimental affect on your day to day life then heed the warnings. All this "it's just a bit of sun, get over it" etc is such a Neanderthal response to things24

Strange how the gammony types are calling all the scientific advice nonsense. Would have thought they'd be best staying out of the heat.6

And you are right, I am working at home on Monday, though will have to venture outside to pick my son up from childcare. However on Tuesday I’ll be cycling from home in Eltham to work in Waterloo, and will be stopping past Blackheath on the way back for a pint with mates.Want to join?
Edit: Also saw you added stuff about your friend in Arizona. So I’ll just leave this here from the state government:

Sounds bonkers and like mass hysteria to me.0 -

I really am not annoyed. It is funny that there is this much hype and bluster over 2 days of 40degree weather.
That was my original point and I still stand by it.

"This is serious heat that could actually, ultimately, end in people's deaths because it is so ferocious"
I might have a word with the boss (wife) to see if I can sneak a few days off work.2 -

I am glad you have posted this. Don't watch SkyNews but I Imagined correctly that this is the kind of bullshit they would be spewing out. Just trying to frighten people.1 - Sponsored links:

Was best man at a wedding yesterday in a 3 piece very warm, may just be sweating out the alcohol but it’s getting warmer in bexleyheath0

Unfortunately am on a site in thatcham for 8 for the start of a large project0

Always find it amusing when people say “enjoy it, cos we’ll all be complaining when it’s raining”.
As if it is some sort of all or nothing position. Yes I’ll complain when it pisses it down relentlessly, and I’ll complain when it is 39 fucking degrees - what do people not understand about either of those extremes being a nuisance to daily life?!9 -
Not been through all the pages of this but has anyone blamed Brexit yet?2

Nothing better than that first day of rain / thunder to break a heatwave.
That smell in the air, freshening of the atmosphere, and cleaning all the dust off everything. The lawn almost perks up on the spot.
Love it personally7 -

Me.
I'm not going in for the 2 days wont be getting paid as self employed.
For me I'm not worried about the money.
There will be not doubt thousands of self employed people up and down the country though who are worried about losing 2 days money and cant afford to lose that money.
I should imagine a few of these will top up going to work and end up in a bad way.
Over the next few days we will hear how many more thousands of 999 calls we have had over the 2 days.
Not all of these calls will be the persons fault.

All the horror headlines, dire warnings and panic actually changes nothing. If anything probably makes people panic more.
