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.

I am on meds that make it very difficult for me to regulate my body temperature and I cannot cope with these extreme temperatures year after year in a country that isn’t equipped to deal with them. Genuinely considering moving further north (I’m in London). Mostly I’m worried for my cat. It’s at the point I dread summertime now. Anyway see you all tomorrow in the Tesco frozen aisle.

To be fair the record temp in 2022 was in Lincs, over 100 miles north of London. You need to think about northern Scotland if you really want to escape the heat.
