Not if its expected to be late 30s or 40s like last year, because that is severe for this country.Gravesend_Addick said:When did severe warm weather warnings become a thing??

Heat wave/biblical droughts.... aka warmer than it was last week.3

So basically, the overly precautions nature of these messages are aimed at the vulnerable over 65s. So in short, if you’re not affected by the slight increase in temperature, don’t worry about it and enjoy the sunshine!clive said:

How long does it take to create a heavy shower ?The images below are from this afternoon. If you look just to the SW of Rochester on the first image there is nothing to see at 14:30. 5 minutes later there is a heavy shower !

WE have had just over a week of hot weather in Kent & Sussex and now we have a hosepipe ban. South East Water have today announced that householders cannot use hosepipes and sprinklers.
Apparently their water sources are currently at 88%, but South East Water's equipment cannot keep up with demand. Surprise Surprise, people actually use more water when it is hot. SE Water is blaming the customers for the hosepipe ban, because we are not cutting down our usage, not their totally inadequate provision of water supplies and failure to fix leaks quickly enough. Admittedly we've had no rain for 33 days in parts of Kent, but we had an extremely wet spring and shouldn't be in this position so soon.
The South East is the most water stressed part of the country, yet more and more housing is being built with a totally inadequate water supply system. When it doesn't rain for a few weeks they can't supply enough water, but when it rains too much the water companies pour raw sewage into our rivers and seas. Water companies need to be held to account for their failings.13 -
There’s now not enough water every summer. It’s not every so often it’s every year. The water companies are making huge profits and we all pay exactly the same whether they restrict our useage or not. They should be forced into building more reservoirs which is expensive I grant you but tough.ME14addick said:WE have had just over a week of hot weather in Kent & Sussex and now we have a hosepipe ban.

SE Water Operations Director just said on BBC news, that it's not that there isn't enough water, it's the fact that they can't supply it fast enough to satisfy demand.They must invest in better equipment, instead of paying shareholders and bonuses to senior executives.7
