Popular Post Rds1983 Posted July 19, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) All the continous posts about the extreme heat have made this thread have a hot topic mark.

It's Your Round Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 We do love nothing more than a good weather chat in this country. I was discussing this in The Gambia a few months back, after some of the locals remarked how we brits always talk about the heat. They have no need to discuss the weather there as it’s the same every day. 40°C and no rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I work with a Brazilian guy, he always says it not really about the high (or low) temperatures. Its the change in temperature. If its 35 degrees every day then you get used to it and crack on. If it’s usually 15-25 then it spikes to 40 then it’s chaos as nobody can cope. Same if it’s usually about 0 in winder then it goes to minus 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who's been on holiday where its hot should be able to handle a couple of days of hot weather. No one ever been 3 star to any of the balerics,? It's hard if your grafting in a factory, working without air con, but other than that, it's 2 days of extreme temperatures enjoy it. Stop embarrassing yourself. There's fires raging all over London and a major incident declared. There will be stories of elderly people dying. And when people go on holiday to hotter places they laze around doing nothing and sit in rooms with air-con designed to keep the heat out. The UK is not equipped for this heat on a frequent basis. And we'll have floods again in the winter. People like you make me despair honestly 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I wonder what the outcome was of the cobra meeting about this heatwave. Nothing tangible seems to have come of it. I wonder if the actions are at the bottom of BJ's inbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be too careful in this kind of weather, disaster could strike at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 The hottest day record going by by 0.1 of a degree each time reminds of the 1990s when Sergey Bubka used to break the pole vault record by 1cm each time to get a sponsors bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
