Is four heatwaves in a summer a record? The 2018 one (that lasted from 22 June to 7 August) and three 2022 heatwaves (including the 40° one) were already record-breaking in different ways. Can’t really find a definitive answer, but wikipedia pages on previous heatwaves suggest it is.
Anyway, we need the heatwave banner to feel our whinging is being recognised!
Edit: and maybe another link to add: [keep your medications safe in hot weather](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/dont-let-the-heatwave-affect-your-medicines-three-important-tips-from-the-mhra). Especially insulin and liquid antibiotics can be very sensitive to heat. Plus check if your medication increases your risk of sunburn (antibiotics, diuretics, antidepressants, or skin treatments for acne or eczema and methotrexate can do this).
