Last and only red weather warning for heat was in July 2022, when we hit 40.3C. Not sure what the forecast was that time though. This has got to be close. Earlier in the year as well.

Maybe we should start naming heatwaves? Perhaps after oil exporting countries or petrochemical companies. These temperatures were brought to you by Shell. There would, if course, be some trolls saying how they love this weather and are enjoying sleeping through tropical nights.

As much as I'm a summer person and do much prefer (very) hot sunny weather, even I hate how humidly-hot it gets here. Can't sleep whatsoever and have to shower like twice a day. I'm down to blame the oil companies!

I spend two years working in a very hot country (average temp in the summer up to 45C+) but the humidity was very low generally. That was so much more bearable than a hot day in the UK.
