To answer the “it’s summer!” brigade
40C is NOT normal for the UK
25C by night is NOT normal
UK infrastructure’s not built for it
Heatwaves are among the most dangerous of natural hazards
Heat records are becoming more frequent
7 out of 10 hottest UK days have been since 2003
🌡️Record heat and possibly the first 40C day🥵
I never thought this would be possible so soon

More award winning research from the Daily Mail.
There are only 12 (TWELVE) national presenters on the books now, 5 being part-time …covering ALL BBC outlets on TV/Radio/Online/Social 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.

Hi
@GBNEWS
@thecoastguy
,
Fancy correcting your misleading claim that the forecast temps were “obtained using satellite to gain the ground temperature”
What absolute nonsense! Not and never been the case
48.2C in Sardinia yesterday (A Europe July record) was the air temp too
‘People are being manipulated by fear of the summer.'
Neil Oliver calls on people to ‘turn their backs’ on media reports regarding extreme weather after the BBC sent their climate editor on a gas-guzzling trip to Spain to cover the ongoing heatwave.
