The heatwave

[Deeranged]

Surely anyone that's ever run away from the UK for a fortnight in the summer to find the heat and sun in Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Egypt etc. etc. can see that two or three days of high temperatures is not a national emergency?

Brave new world......keep people in permanent state of flux, permanent emergencies, permanent fear, permanent involvement in people's lives, permanent restrictions, permanent politicians using the same language world over no matter what political persuasion "build back better " " small window of opportunity" " great reset"......puppets for the puppet masters.

Been to many hot countries, Egypt, Turkey, Greece etc, but can't recall any warnings of possible death while on holiday.?

Agree. This is a climate change nanny state busybody attempt to keep everyone miserable.

I saw that, increased pressure on NHS, fire services and police........... why though?

[Returnofrros]

Public sector don't think they should be a public service anymore.

Only when temp right, wages right, conditions right......meanwhile the electricity and gas will be turned off this winter......

Currently 19 degrees light wind and overcast.

My wife and I were on holiday in Sousse in Tunisia in September 1981.
The temperature was normally in the low 90’s Fahrenheit with the wind blowing off the sea.
However one day the wind blew in from the Sahara and the shade temperature was 108F (42C). It was stiflingly hot but the sun was not any hotter than it was the day before, just the wind.
There were no weather warnings and the next day the wind was back blowing off the water.
The U.K. media and broadcasters love to make a drama out of everything in the U.K. and a two day heatwave in the south of England is right up their street.
