The Heatwave

[COYBL25]

The heat? You're not wrong. It is the end of the world as we know it ?

I feel fine.

So, on further consideration, I propose the tag "heat woke" to the many and varied cryarses that havent realised the moisture in their precious tears is the clear antithesis of their message. Irony-slam!

I’m waiting for the “...and I suppose all the namby pamby soft southern cockney babies have taken their Crombies off already..”

Got a dentist appointment on Tuesday, not looking forward to melting in the chair in 1000 degree heat, but I suppose its nothing compared to most.

600 people have died from heat related issues in Spain and Portugal.

Just the bleedin media panicking everyone though

yes, it's just the media panicking.

Spain & Portugal have always had several thousand heat-related deaths, yet the numbers dying are actually going down every year, due to improved care:

“In 2003 there was a brutal heat wave,” says Díaz, indicating the turning point. “In Spain, 6,600 people died in 15 days.” It was the summer that fans sold out in Paris and Rome and around 70,000 Europeans died. To avoid this happening again, in 2004 the Spanish Health Ministry launched a national plan that introduced preventive measures and these measures have been activated every summer since.

The Spanish heat paradox: temperatures soar but related deaths drop

Researchers note that the threshold at which hot weather kills keeps rising, and that people in low-income areas are at greater risk of dying

High 20s in the shade of a tree here in Northern Wiltshire ... but unmentioned by the fear mongering media, a wonderful breeze is making it absolutely idyllic. In fact me unsocked feets are even a little chilly!
