“The daily mail is going full on trying to annoy the boomer readers with this headline : "ambulances may burst into flames waiting outside hospitals"

Their readership no doubt used to work all day long in 40 degree heats and just got on with it 😆”


Lived through the summer of 76 didn’t they @Yel 🤣

I was listening to Matt Frei on LBC earlier. He had a science expert on who said that the statisticians are mentioning how the worse case scenario could be upto 100k dying over Monday and Tuesday. He did say that there could well be thousands, possibly 10k. It does seem extreme, but who knows. He mentioned that the humidity in this country along with the high heat is a deadly combination.

You have to think of the vulnerable though, the elderly with pre existing health issues, those with learning disabilities etc. my uncle lives independently, but he would think nothing of baking in the sun all day. Burning, heatstroke etc

Then you have children, who parents don’t give two shits about their kid being out all day, severe sunburn is no joke

I have a brain condition that causes severe headaches. Heat exaggerates my symptoms to an extreme level

God I hope you will be ok. It’s really scary. I absolutely hate the heat. It’s 25 where I am right now and I hate it.

Yeah, I heard a science/climate expert mentioning how in Paris back in 2003 older people were going out to shop for a few things, but due to the heat they would be collapsing and dying. This is why it's important to pay attention to older people as they could easily deteriorate fast in this heat.

Humidity levels are actually forecast to be fairly low over the next few days, so it should be a drier heat. It will still be stiflingly hot, but at least not humid.

That's good to know, having low humidity will help a lot.

Interesting, thanks. I don't really follow the humidity, so didn't know that. Good to know, just hope it's not too unbearable. Gonna have 2 fans and cold flannels I think haha.
