When is the weather too hot?
For many of us in the U.K. right now!! (Lol)
This is the weather we have been dealing with today:
Now, fair play - there are many other places in the world that see such temperatures on a regular basis, and some that see even higher temps. Thing is, we don't as a rule here, as we live in a temperate zone, so bar the occasional heatwave, it's generally all green and pleasant here during the Summer months.
Now? Well, this is the first time a red weather warning has been issued here in the U.K. for extreme heat. Even though the hottest day on record was in Cambridge in 2019 (where it reached 38.7 degrees Celsius on the 25th of July) this heatwave looks to be here for longer, and will probably break this record too.
Here's what we are looking at for tomorrow:
Many of you will tell us that these temperatures are not that high, and that parts of Australia and America see much higher figures. True, but the problem is, we don't have the infrastructure here in the U.K. to deal with such extreme heat. Our roads and runways are built to withstand rain more than heat, so we have had issues with planes unable to land today due to the runways melting. So weird!
Ben and I have had to review our latest press car in sections, as it's been too hot to get into the car at points...
Have you had any problems coping with this heat?
Thank you all, and stay cool!
