SanguinePar Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Not sure how much it'll affect Scotland, but the Met Office has issued their first ever red Extreme Heat warning for next week in England. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62177458I I'm Bristol right now, and it's absolutely scorching already - and I'll be in Leicester on Monday, then travelling south on Tuesday when it might get to 40C. Gulp! Stay safe folks ☀️😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulp! Stay safe folks ☀️😎 Feel alot of sympathy from those that will feel the worst of it. Up here we've been hearing news reports of heat waves etc and getting at hottest 20's with a moderate breeze, even the latest warning only covers temp ranges in the late 20's, drink a reasonable amount of water, avoid staying long term in direct sunlight and wear some suncream and you will be absolutely fine. its just common sense. South England will be different, but as usual from the UK media they treat things affecting london and wider area like its the only part of the country Edited July 17, 2022 by parsforlife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to expect here in Leicester! 🙂 I did see a suggestion that the east of Scotland could hit 30 tomorrow though, which would be a fair jump.

Al k Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Should say May, not March. Have been wearing shorts since the first week of march. Currently 33° Edited July 18, 2022 by Al k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguinePar Posted July 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 37C here at Leicester County Cricket Club. It's unbelievable! And apparently it's to get hotter tomorrow (when I'll be heading further south!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al k Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Yeah its hotter in Yorkshire where I'm moving to tomorrow. Was showing 39° at one point. Our bins are getting emptied at 5am tomorrow. I'd rather they gave the work force the day off the more sensible solution for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
