The government urges residents not to venture outside. Authorities warn against using public transport. Dozens of schools shut their doors, and hospitals cancel nonessential procedures. No, this is not an introduction to a dystopian novel. It’s Britons sweltering under scorching weather as record-breaking temperatures soar this week. The Met Office, the national meteorological service for the UK, has issued the first-ever red warning for exceptional heat because temperatures of 40 C (or 104 F) have been forecast for the very first time.
If you have always lived in hotter climates, you might be laughing at these numbers. We get it! But remember, we’re talking about a country that’s unaccustomed to such sizzling temperatures. Given how the UK is notorious for awful weather, there is always plenty of reaction from its citizens whenever they find themselves nearly melting from the heat.
