  1. It’s the risk of wild fires that bothers me – not least as it’s come so early in the summer

    Because there’s always some twats who think the ‘No BBQs’ rule doesn’t apply to them, and I don’t want to see parks and commons incinerated

  2. OK so asking the question – what’s the take – are we topping 34 (or whatever it is today and tomorrow) in the next 2 months?

  3. Was wandering past Cambridge Circus about an hour ago and saw some bloke flat out on his back, having water liberally thrown over his face by well meaning passers by.

    I assumed he was a victim of the heat and it wasn’t some weird guerrilla art thing, you never really know with London.

  4. Stepping out from the office air conditioning today…

  5. *Dr Lynn Thomas, the medical director for St John Ambulance, said the “heat is wonderful for some people but can cause an awful lot of stress”.*

    *”We’re not saying don’t go outside, we’re not saying don’t enjoy it but some people will find it difficult,” Dr Thomas said.*

    I feel like a first-aid organisation should be telling people to stay inside. In any country that gets this kind of heat on the regular, people stay inside during the day.

  6. My hands are so sweaty my fingers are starting to wrinkle up like I’ve been sitting in the bath too long.

  7. Left the office 20 minutes ago and I got a toasy slap from the sun. It’s proper hot today, and now on the bus it’s even hotter. I can only imagine the tube, people fainting, tracks melting..

  8. Invest in small micro fibre towels and soak them before your commute you can even use them to stop your neck from getting sun burn.

    Me if I step away from a full blast fan for even 1 minute.

  10. It’s death every day I wake up sweating this season will always be the worst season of the 4
