…surely not (I don’t read the daily Mail I promise)

Am I being unreasonable to think 1st, WTAF? And 2nd not sure I can actually survive this heat let alone work in it!!!

Fans, or air conditioning, the local supermarket cool as a cucumber

@Hawkins001 I’m going to have to set up in the frozen section of sainsburys for work that day 😳

There’s one forecast model that has temps reaching about 40 but others saying unlikely to get that high. I guess this is our new reality?

Metoffice are saying 30c

It’s an amazing time to be 38 weeks pregnant I can confirm!

They say it has the potential to get that high but is unlikely to. It’s the DM doing what it does best.
Don’t get me wrong, 30° is still bloody hot, but it’s not 43°.

We regularly gave temperatures higher than that where I live. I can assure you life goes on.

@ShirleyPhallus wishing you all the best - that is horrendous 🥵😬💕

@BigChesterDraws English people won’t cope - honestly it will be all we talk about

Not fans. Not over about 36. They do the opposite of help.

I’m taking the daily Mail with a pinch of salt but crikey - we will all be wishing for the heat when it’s snowing and heating costs £538 a second to run come October 🤣🤣

Thanks very much, I’m melting!

If you follow @ohyoubadbadkitten then you'd already know about this. The Mumsnet legend was there well before the Daily Mail!

I feel for anyone who is heavily pregnant in this heat! There was a heatwave when I went into labour and I stayed in hospital for 4 days as DS wasn’t well. They had the bloody heating on!!

I actually thought I was going to spontaneously combust!

If only our heatwaves weren’t so humid!

@Narwhalelife

Many people have to work outdoors in these temperatures. Think yourself lucky you don't have to.

Why do MMers claim not to read the Daily mail yet keep posting links?
They clearly do read the DM!!

Hypocrisy. As in the OP's thread title.

Follow Midlands storm chasers Vicki is goosander reliable but even she is saying it looks very hot

Wel I follow Ventusky which is pretty accurate it's not looking good for next weekend we're stuck in a car for six hours on Saturday 🙈

There are some great cooling mists on pharmacies. I am going to get a few before they sell out.

Scorchio! Mucho mucho scorchio!

Portugal is hitting the high 40s... it's not unlikely we will too this summer.

A lot of people are sadly going to die if it does.

I got an aircon unit last year after the ridiculously hot 4 days we had. My DC nearly collapsed just being in our house.

Saw the silver coast Portugal figures it's scary

The ventusky model is showing 39°c here in the east/se next sunday.

Honestly would be telling anyone down south to make a mass exodus towards hadrians wall.
