To ask if this scoffing at the concern over the heatwave have changed their minds yet?

[DeadbeatYoda]

Just that really. I've just watched the news. The houses burning, the grass fires, the rail infrastructure buckling. Record temperatures in 29 locations today. Several areas exceeding 40 degrees. Do you still think it's 'hysteria' to take it seriously?

Every single year where I live. Old council estate turned into dead grass bring set on fire by local dicks

Probably hotter in their homes than put in the shade somewhere with a breeze.

I doubt it - it was 27 in my house with the windows shut and 37 in my garden, in the shade. I had to be indoors working anyway so didn’t have the choice but it was definitely and significantly cooler in my house than outside.

@GirlInACountrySong, do you mean here or in BC?

@Hollyhead Don't give up - it is still early enough to do something about climate change. We just really need to get on with it and we can still prevent the worst effects (although not all effects).

But how would you know if they had?

Did you go to A&E, can I ask how did they treat it?

I wouldn't call it hysteria, just health warnings!

Nope. It’s a warm day end of.

I think you probably have covid. I felt just like that. Test in a few days

That sounds a lot like sunstroke. That's bloody horrible if you have ever had it bad, feels like you are dying

It's quite hot. It's a heat wave. Not my first and not the last I expect.

I hope those building shelters and planning for the end of days feel better soon.

Yep, that's right, keep calm and carry on, let people and animals die due to ignorance...

Health warnings aren't hysteria.

No.

It is ridiculous levels of hysteria
two warm days - hardly end of days!

Dont worry it is pissing down all day tomorrow

I hope it's a wake up call to the UK government. Until now, climate change has been something that happens to other people in other countries and we're alright Jack.
I'm fairly sure nothing will be done, they're too busy worrying about the hi

Hustings
Why is a post going live before I 've pressed anything. That's the second time today

How did the beaches look today? I don’t live anywhere near one and the media haven’t shown any photos.

So true!

That really isn't true. I work with Government (not IN Government) on climate change and that's utter bollocks.

At least one fire began as grassland on fire, but even that would have had a cause and buildings don't burst into flames by themselves at these temperatures.

Remember for some countries this is just another Tuesday.

@MarshaBradyo i did yes, they saw me straight away.

advice is to cool yourself with cool bath/shower, lie down with feet elevated. Lots to drink. Repeat.

are you feeling poorly?

What U.K. government???
I don’t believe we currently have one.

When the in in democratically PM is finally installed after back room dealings I fully expect them to be a lame duck for years, before a hung parliament at next GE

climate campaign officially is frozen for at least 3/4 years plus minimum unless something spectacular happens

@Festoonlights i don’t think it is, didn’t feel like this with covid

**Undemocratically

RAIN!! In London
