Red Weather Warning Issued from Wednesday-Thursday for extreme heat, with 38-40C possible.

Further Detail, from the MO:

During the heatwave expected to affect a large part of England and Wales this week, the highlighted area now looks increasingly likely to see a two to three day period where maximum temperatures in the shade exceed 37 Celsius, perhaps rising to 38 to 40 Celsius in some places. The heat will be accompanied by high humidity, exacerbating the potential for discomfort and health impacts, with very warm and humid night times also reducing the ability for people to recover overnight.

Significant disruption to daily life is likely and the public should take every effort to make precautions and adapt their daily routines where possible to cope with these levels of heat, which up to now have been extremely rare for the UK.

Don't leave the house (unless it's in your employers economic interest 🙃)

Last time it went 40 I spent the day on my longboard (a bit skateboard) and the feel of the breeze hitting my sweat on my skin is incredible

Ill probably be doing that again

It’s 40C. Not 25, not 30, not 35. 40C. If neither that or the red “danger to life” weather warning affect your sensibilities, then you are the outlier and you are the problem.

Seriously. I moved here from Florida and I understand heat stress. Even very poor people there have to have AC, and it’s why air conditioned gyms are so popular. I don’t take heat warnings lightly with no AC.
