You say that, but the climate has gone a bit weird. Nearly 40c in northern Europe in May isn't right. Nowt we can do about it, although the chem trail brigade will tell us it's all weather manipulation, or some such.

but what do you do if you need to go to the pub, but get anxious when sitting indoors, but sitting near too many people triggers your inner complex gender dysmorphia?

What will the government guidance be?

I knew I wasn't alone.

French have banned alcohol at outdoor events - serious business.  Think I got a bit burned in the garden today. Why did nobody warn me of the dangers of the sun?

Can’t believe people still believe in man made climate change 😂

No, I spontaneously combusted earlier this morning, just by opening the curtains.

Only just after I’d not bought the Sunday Sport in protest at David Sullivan and put a ice lolly up my arse.

I’m doing better than this chap though

That just show how far the country has declined economically under Starmer.

Schools closing because the sun is out.
 

Woke nonsense.

Broadly agree, does depend on what the level of ventilation in the school is like.

Trouble is, at least in extreme heat the kids can be regulated in terms of drinking water, shorter outside breaks. When they’re out of school, in some less salubrious areas the parents will kick the kids out first thing and get stuck into the alcohol and the kids won’t have been given sunblock, proper hat etc.

Oi! Apart from the alcohol bit, that was some of my childhood! 🙂

Summer holidays...out to the parks in a group...cricket...football...jumpers for goalposts...called in for Robinson's barley water...race back out...mum calling...just another 20 minutes....back for tea...hmmm?

I shall inform my parentals, that such activity was unbecoming, and an indication of a less than salubrious upbringing. They will be mortified. 🙂

On 28th June 1976 it was 35.6C in Southampton, the highest June temperature so far recorded in the UK, in the middle of 15 days of temperatures reaching over 32C in England, and I was sitting my "O" levels.

My 1980s childhood as well, football in the park off Weston Grove Road, some days exploring the Archeries woods with friends up as far as the memorial at Weston. Other days at the pitch and putt on Weston Shore.

Climate has changed now though and my MIL in her mid-80s is certain the sun has become a lot more fierce than it was. I first noticed it during 2018 when we were in the Lake District during WC2018 and the roads were melting under the car. When one of those roads is the infamous Hardknott when you are actually driving on it, that is not.

Fucking hell, I’m in danger of a heart attack caused by this heat. Some of the birds round here aren’t covering up to protect themselves from the sun, that’s for fucking sure.

Surely we need to know the average pint rating for said "birds"?

Just spent my third day in a row on the beach forced to look at strumpets running around in thongs. Bloody disgusting.

The record for the hottest ever June day in the UK has been provisionally broken, with temperatures soaring to 36.1C in Gosport, Hampshire.

 

Bloody Skates taking our record.

I jumped in the car just now and was 43 C - come on BBC where is my visit to show I smashed the record?

Be sure to hydrate. To compensate for the drooling, as much as for the weather. 🙂

That’s two bunches of grapes I’ve got to take into hospital now. @Lord Duckhunter is in there after suffering a heart attack at the sight of all the scantily dressed young women of Poole and now @Challenger with his dehydration..

Bad time for the remake of Carry On Doctor (No, I'm on strike). 🙂
