After a week or so of promises (or is that threats?) from the Met Office, the UK finally broke 1990’s temperature record yesterday. Parts of the UK reached 38.1°C (that’s 100.6°F for people who still like to use the old money). And now they’re saying that this record probably won’t last very long.
And the BBC weather site has been lying to me. All over the weekend the 5-day forecast has been claiming that Monday would be a lot cooler. Now it’s here, they’re saying that it’s going to be 33°C. That’s cooler. But not a lot cooler.
